What Should I Eat to Lose Weight?
There are lots of great things to eat. Review our instructions and take a look at our Great Foods Guide, which lists suggestions of foods to have on hand with appropriate amounts to eat. You should never be hungry with this plan if doing correctly. We frequently update the list, so be sure you have the latest one. If you are eating reasonable portions sizes of suggested foods and adding in suggested supplementation, you should be on the right track.
What Are the Best Snacks for Weight Loss?
You will want to include some protein with each snack and keep the carbs in check. Raw almonds are an excellent snack. Just be sure that you apply portion control. The list has some suggestions and serving sizes. Portioning your snacks in advance so you can grab a bag instead of a heaping handful or the whole container. A snack mid morning and mid afternoon will help keep your metabolism up. An evening snack may be used if needed.
How Does Exercise Impact Weight Loss?
Aim to get some exercise 5 days a week. This should include cardio as well as weight bearing exercises. If you have purchased the DNA kit, you will have strong recommendations for what type of exercise is best for you according to your personal DNA.
What Salad Dressing Do You Suggest?
You can use vinegar with a small amount of olive oil. Also, Walden Farms Dressing is acceptable. You can get in bottles or individual packets (great for taking your lunch or eating out). Hands down our favorite is the Thousand Island which comes in bottles and packets, and is kid friendly. We also enjoy the Raspberry Vinaigrette and Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette. We are frequently asked about using fat free or lowfat dressings. Many low fat dressings are full of sugar and other things we try to eliminate.
