RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

"I'm too busy to eat healthy/eat often enough because of my job/school/family/etc." Solution: This weekend go to the store, and get some small, healthy snacks that don't take a lot of time to prepare/eat and are still yummy. Examples: unsalted/raw nuts (high in protein/fiber), plain Greek yogurt (high in protein) and mix in some fresh fruit, hummus(high in protein/fiber) and dip with some fresh baby carrots or celery sticks, low-sodium lentil soup (high in protein/fiber). When we go hours & hours without eating, our metabolism & insulin levels begin to drop, both equal body fat GAIN. Having snacks preplanned and with you make all the difference in staying/getting in shape.
