- Healthy Eating Tip: Hard boiled eggs are an easy grab-and-go snack. Top your salad with a few ounces of chicken, beef or salmon from last night’s dinner.
- Healthy Eating Tip: Make your own packets of raw nuts to carry with you. Grab an avocado and add slices to flax seed crackers for a healthy mid-morning or afternoon snack.
- Healthy Eating Tip: Kombucha tea is readily available at most health food stores. Enjoy at work for a refreshing and health boosting afternoon drink. (However, many brands have too much sugar, so choose selectively, and choose organic.)
- Healthy Eating tip: Make a breakfast smoothie with a cup of raw milk, a raw, organic egg from a pastured chicken, a half cup of blueberries, and stevia as a sweetener. This delicious nutrient-dense breakfast can be made in minutes and will keep you satisfied all morning.
- Healthy Eating Tip: Last night’s steamed broccoli is a healthy addition to a spinach salad with a hard or soft-boiled egg. Pack homemade salad dressing in a vitamin bottle to enjoy at work.
- Healthy Eating Tip: Drink water upon rising and apart from meals for improved digestion.
- Eat breakfast within an hour of waking up, or by 8 am. Eating breakfast within an hour of waking signals the end of your fast.
- Eat a small mid-morning snack, around 9 or 10 am. A snack can be a few bites of a nutritionally dense food or a handful of almonds.
- Eat lunch between 11 and 12 noon. Consider making lunch your main meal of the day. Eating larger meals earlier in the day helps to maintain cortisol levels. Plus, we are generally more active during the day than in the evening, which helps burn the calories we consume.
- Eat a mid-afternoon snack. This is a particularly important time to eat something healthy. Avoid the mid-afternoon blood sugar dip that can lead to poor food choices.
- Eat a small dinner no later than 6 or 7 pm. Consider eating a lunch-sized portion of food at dinner. You’ll find that by eating nutritionally dense foods throughout the day you will be satisfied with smaller portions in the evening.
- Eat a light snack an hour before bedtime.
