Keep it out of your house!

Posted by on Feb 18, 2014 in Skinny Tips & Quotes | Comments Off on Keep it out of your house!

  “If you can’t eat it responsibly, keep it out of your house” The other day I was about to buy some delicious cookies. They’re made with natural ingredients, so I buy them every so often, but I still wouldn’t consider them “healthy” since they still have sugar. I mean, they are cookies!

When they weigh-in on Monday, they wonder why they haven’t lost any weight. Sound familiar? Here’s how the weekends can ruin all of your efforts during the week: To lose a pound of fat, you need to omit or burn 3,500 calories. Even if you were exercising and eating healthy ALL WEEK LONG – if you ate whatever you wanted on the weekends…you could EASILY eat an extra 3,500 calories in two days. Doughnuts for breakfast? You’re looking at about 200-400 calories each. And after eating one, you’re still going to be hungry. Chances are, the sugar cravings are in overdrive and BAM! You just ate another doughnut. Oops. At this...
