]]> Chia Seeds

The national fiber intake recommendation is 30-38 grams per day for a man and 21-25 grams a day for a woman. It’s easy to reach that number with chia seeds, as one serving contains over 10 grams of fiber. You can also get 4.4 grams of protein, and a heaping dose of manganese, phosphorus, and calcium.

Goji Berries

Goji berries contain several vitamins that boost your immune system, protecting you from the common flu. Put them in a yogurt, salad, or eat alone for a sweet but low-sugar snack.

Beans

There are 10 types of dry beans, all with their own health benefits. The Dark Red Kidney Bean is the lowest of the group in calories and fat, and packs 8 grams of protein. All the dry beans provide fiber, protein, and complex carbs to keep you full and healthy.

I never ever thought I’d be excited about beans but I’ve learned to mix the soft mealy texture (which I don’t like) with crunchy vegetables like peppers or cucumbers to balance the feeling in my mouth.

Spinach

Spinach is truly a superfood. It’s extremely low in calories (7 per serving) but contains vitamins A (28% daily value), K (228% daily value), and C (14% daily value). Make a fresh spinach salad with strawberries, put some in an omelet, or eat a healthy chicken dinner on a plate of these fresh greens.

]]> Resistance bands offer amazing workout benefits. They add stress to targeted muscles, allowing them to work against more pressure, maximizing muscle growth. Here’s how to add resistance bands to your workout.

Squats

Place a resistance band around your lower thighs. When you squat, be sure to push from your thighs instead of using your knees, and you’ll feel it in your glutes.

Sidekicks

While laying down on one side with the resistance band around your mid-thighs, lift your upper leg up and down. This works your core and glutes.

Fire Hydrants

Begin on all fours, with the resistance band around your mid-thigh. Lift one leg at a time out to the side and back down.

Flyers

Work your arms and back muscle by stepping in the center of the resistance band and pulling the two sides up and out.

1. Motivation

You have someone that will hold you accountable. They’ll get you off the couch and into your activewear like your promised yourself.

2. Lift More

Your workout buddy doubles as a spotter. Trying to lift heavier weights? Your friend can watch out for you and provide assistance.

3. Try New Classes

Want to explore the new pilates class but afraid to go in solo? Go with your buddy and feel awkward together.

4. Do Dynamic Exercises

See all those workout buddy Instagram videos where two girls throw a medicine ball back and forth? Now you can try it with your friend for a more dynamic workout experience.

5. Complaining Buddy

If you’re sore the next day, at least you have company! Complain, then plan your next gym visit.

🍽All about Condiments!🍽 – Most condiments are terrible..there it is lol.. simple as that 😂.. Most times they are sneaky sauces and toppings on food that you overlook or do not think of. They not only add calories, but they are normally made of unhealthy ingredients. – Besides what I have listed above, this would also go for most sauces and dressings that are filled with hydrogenated vegetable oils and added sugar. – All of these options you see above are lower in sugar and made with real ingredients. When you look at the bbq sauce for example, it has a paragraph of ingredients and a ton of sugar! – Swapping these out for better alternatives, along with the use of things like herbs and spices on your food, can go a long way. – If you would like to work 1 on 1 with me to get a custom health and meal plan based on your needs, shoot me an email 📲 – #bbqsauce #bbq #ketchup #lowsugar #soysauce #realfood #healthyfood #condiments

And it’s not only food tips, but also lifestyle tips revolving around food. For example, this one about eating out:

View this post on Instagram

👨‍🍳 WHEN I COOK AT HOME 🏠… – Tell me that apron and hat did not make you laugh 😆😂 – So…cooking at home can be a vital part of being healthy. You just have so much control. There’s nothing wrong with going out to eat ( I do it) and there’s nothing wrong with taking food in sometimes (also, occasionally I do it) – However, it’s so much easier to control the calories and ingredients down to a tee. For that reason, cooking at home with always be the optimal choice, at least most of the time. – You never know if the calories are exactly what is listed and that if they even are listed at all. You don’t quite know the ingredients fully. For example they might cook with canola oil, something I don’t recommend eating when you have the choice. – If you are reading this and going, “I don’t even know how to cook” 🤦🏼‍♂️…Don’t worry, you do not need to be a chef or wear an apron like that 😂..You can start off small making simple dishes. – If you would like to work 1 on 1 with me and get a custom health plan and meal plan tailored to your needs, shoot me an email📲 – #cooking #healthycooking #cookingathome #ingredients #naturalhealth #kissthecook

He doesn’t tell you to cut out your favorite desserts, either. Instead, he gives you suggestions about foods with higher quality ingredients. So yes, you can have your fill of chocolate!

View this post on Instagram

🥜 Candy Swap 🍫 – So growing up, I probably have to say Reese’s was probably my favorite candy of all time. That peanut butter and chocolate is what gets you 😂. Unfortunately it’s not made the greatest of ingredients overall. Now I try to look for treats with simple ingredients when I am in need. – Your choice on the right, is filled with white sugar, emulsifiers, stabilizers, conventional milk and oxidized vegetable oils. The option I have on the left from @eatingevolved contains just organic coconut, organic cacao, organic coconut sugar, organic cacao butter and himalayan sea salt. – Very simple ingredients. Now this is still a treat, don’t get me wrong. Calories in this certainly do matter and this is not something you want to fill your diet with, but if you are craving something like a Reese’s you can easily make this swap to a better quality snack! – If you would like to work 1 on 1 with and get a custom meal and health plan tailored to your needs, shoot me an email 📲 – #healthysnack #peanutbutter #healthyswaps #eatthisnotthis #coconutsugar #realfood

He gives tips on how to minimize other toxins in your body as well, as demonstrated with these photos that contain the cleanest and dirtiest fruits and veggies.

View this post on Instagram

🍓 THE DIRTY DOZEN AND CLEAN FIFTEEN AVOCADO 🥑 – The Environmental Working group put out their 2018 list of the most heavily sprayed fruits and veggies with pesticides and herbicides. – Almost 70% of non-organic samples tested positive for at least one pesticide, many are banned in other countries but not the US. – This would be great for anyone trying to save money, because you can focus on buying the dirty dozen organic, while buying the clean fifteen conventional. Although if you can still afford to buy organic everything, that would be ideal. – These chemical compounds used on our fruits and veggies have been linked to health issues all across the board. It goes back to what I mention in my stories, it’s not the 1, 2 or 10 times you do something or eat something. It’s the 5, 10 and 20 years of doing so down the line. – Now I couldn’t hold the full list 😂, so here it is! – Dirty Dozen 1. Strawberries 🍓 2. Spinach 🥗 3. Nectarines 🍊 4. Apples 🍎 5. Peaches 🍑 6. Pears 🍐 7. Cherries 🍒 8. Grapes 🍇 9. Celery 10. Tomatoes 🍅 11. Sweet Bell Peppers 🌶 12. Potatoes 🥔 – Clean 15 1. Avocados 🥑 2. Sweet Corn 🌽 3. Pineapples 🍍 4. Cabbage 5. Onions 6. Frozen Sweet Peas 7. Papayas 8. Asparagus 9. Mangos 10. Eggplant 🍆 11. Honeydew 🍈 12. Kiwi 🥝 13. Cantaloupe 🍈 14. Cauliflower 15. Broccoli 🥦 – Even though it is on the clean 15 list, corn is something I urge you to always buy organic. – If you would like to work 1 on 1 with and get a custom meal and health plan tailored to your needs, shoot me an email 📲 – #organicfood #organicfoods #fruitsandveggies #vegetables #cleanfood #produce #foodshopping

Neon Ombre

These leggings are the perfect combination of patterns and brightness. The bottoms stand out in a beautiful neon green, but they aren’t tacky or overwhelming.

Premium Fit Loggers

These leggings make you look badass. They’re also pretty convenient as they offer several pockets and adjustable fit with a waistband.

Lustful Leather Leggings

We love the geometric breathable cutouts on this style. They’re high rise, so they keep everything intact and prevent spilling over. Look good, feel good!

Moto Ninja Leggings

These mauve leggings have ribbed sides that are also pockets, so you can store your phone in your pants while lifting instead of worrying someone will steal it. We also love the side cut-outs and high waist.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are a great, portable snack and breakfast. You can eat them plain or add them to salads, sandwiches, and more. But don’t let the yolk get too dry and inedible.

]]> The great outdoors is a fantastic place to workout. You can walk, run, ride a bike for miles and miles, and see lush greenery and new things. It’s also a lot cheaper than purchasing a treadmill. But during the summer, you lose breeze and can also lose some motivation. Here are a few ways that we like to stay cool while we workout.

Shower Dip

Right before you workout, go into a cold shower and submerge your hair in the water. Don’t wring it out–the water will slowly evaporate into the heat, but you’ll stay cool with the water dripping down! You can also dip in the shower with your workout shirt on, which will take longer to heat up.

Ice Water

Put your water bottle in the freezer a few hours before your workout. It will slowly melt as your routine goes on, but is a refreshing and rejuvenating beverage while the ice lasts. You can also do this with your workout clothes so they stay cool as well.

Wear Light Clothing

Black absorbs sunlight, making you hotter! Light colors like white will reflect the sun, keeping your body cool. So make good activewear choices!

🍽All about Condiments!🍽 – Most condiments are terrible..there it is lol.. simple as that 😂.. Most times they are sneaky sauces and toppings on food that you overlook or do not think of. They not only add calories, but they are normally made of unhealthy ingredients. – Besides what I have listed above, this would also go for most sauces and dressings that are filled with hydrogenated vegetable oils and added sugar. – All of these options you see above are lower in sugar and made with real ingredients. When you look at the bbq sauce for example, it has a paragraph of ingredients and a ton of sugar! – Swapping these out for better alternatives, along with the use of things like herbs and spices on your food, can go a long way. – If you would like to work 1 on 1 with me to get a custom health and meal plan based on your needs, shoot me an email 📲 – #bbqsauce #bbq #ketchup #lowsugar #soysauce #realfood #healthyfood #condiments

And it’s not only food tips, but also lifestyle tips revolving around food. For example, this one about eating out:

👨‍🍳 WHEN I COOK AT HOME 🏠… – Tell me that apron and hat did not make you laugh 😆😂 – So…cooking at home can be a vital part of being healthy. You just have so much control. There’s nothing wrong with going out to eat ( I do it) and there’s nothing wrong with taking food in sometimes (also, occasionally I do it) – However, it’s so much easier to control the calories and ingredients down to a tee. For that reason, cooking at home with always be the optimal choice, at least most of the time. – You never know if the calories are exactly what is listed and that if they even are listed at all. You don’t quite know the ingredients fully. For example they might cook with canola oil, something I don’t recommend eating when you have the choice. – If you are reading this and going, “I don’t even know how to cook” 🤦🏼‍♂️…Don’t worry, you do not need to be a chef or wear an apron like that 😂..You can start off small making simple dishes. – If you would like to work 1 on 1 with me and get a custom health plan and meal plan tailored to your needs, shoot me an email📲 – #cooking #healthycooking #cookingathome #ingredients #naturalhealth #kissthecook

He doesn’t tell you to cut out your favorite desserts, either. Instead, he gives you suggestions about foods with higher quality ingredients. So yes, you can have your fill of chocolate!

🥜 Candy Swap 🍫 – So growing up, I probably have to say Reese’s was probably my favorite candy of all time. That peanut butter and chocolate is what gets you 😂. Unfortunately it’s not made the greatest of ingredients overall. Now I try to look for treats with simple ingredients when I am in need. – Your choice on the right, is filled with white sugar, emulsifiers, stabilizers, conventional milk and oxidized vegetable oils. The option I have on the left from @eatingevolved contains just organic coconut, organic cacao, organic coconut sugar, organic cacao butter and himalayan sea salt. – Very simple ingredients. Now this is still a treat, don’t get me wrong. Calories in this certainly do matter and this is not something you want to fill your diet with, but if you are craving something like a Reese’s you can easily make this swap to a better quality snack! – If you would like to work 1 on 1 with and get a custom meal and health plan tailored to your needs, shoot me an email 📲 – #healthysnack #peanutbutter #healthyswaps #eatthisnotthis #coconutsugar #realfood

He gives tips on how to minimize other toxins in your body as well, as demonstrated with these photos that contain the cleanest and dirtiest fruits and veggies.

🍓 THE DIRTY DOZEN AND CLEAN FIFTEEN AVOCADO 🥑 – The Environmental Working group put out their 2018 list of the most heavily sprayed fruits and veggies with pesticides and herbicides. – Almost 70% of non-organic samples tested positive for at least one pesticide, many are banned in other countries but not the US. – This would be great for anyone trying to save money, because you can focus on buying the dirty dozen organic, while buying the clean fifteen conventional. Although if you can still afford to buy organic everything, that would be ideal. – These chemical compounds used on our fruits and veggies have been linked to health issues all across the board. It goes back to what I mention in my stories, it’s not the 1, 2 or 10 times you do something or eat something. It’s the 5, 10 and 20 years of doing so down the line. – Now I couldn’t hold the full list 😂, so here it is! – Dirty Dozen 1. Strawberries 🍓 2. Spinach 🥗 3. Nectarines 🍊 4. Apples 🍎 5. Peaches 🍑 6. Pears 🍐 7. Cherries 🍒 8. Grapes 🍇 9. Celery 10. Tomatoes 🍅 11. Sweet Bell Peppers 🌶 12. Potatoes 🥔 – Clean 15 1. Avocados 🥑 2. Sweet Corn 🌽 3. Pineapples 🍍 4. Cabbage 5. Onions 6. Frozen Sweet Peas 7. Papayas 8. Asparagus 9. Mangos 10. Eggplant 🍆 11. Honeydew 🍈 12. Kiwi 🥝 13. Cantaloupe 🍈 14. Cauliflower 15. Broccoli 🥦 – Even though it is on the clean 15 list, corn is something I urge you to always buy organic. – If you would like to work 1 on 1 with and get a custom meal and health plan tailored to your needs, shoot me an email 📲 – #organicfood #organicfoods #fruitsandveggies #vegetables #cleanfood #produce #foodshopping

Neon Ombre

These leggings are the perfect combination of patterns and brightness. The bottoms stand out in a beautiful neon green, but they aren’t tacky or overwhelming.

Premium Fit Loggers

These leggings make you look badass. They’re also pretty convenient as they offer several pockets and adjustable fit with a waistband.

Lustful Leather Leggings

We love the geometric breathable cutouts on this style. They’re high rise, so they keep everything intact and prevent spilling over. Look good, feel good!

Moto Ninja Leggings

These mauve leggings have ribbed sides that are also pockets, so you can store your phone in your pants while lifting instead of worrying someone will steal it. We also love the side cut-outs and high waist.

Perhaps you hate the healthy foods because you don’t know how to prepare them for your taste. Here are five visual guides that will help with your diet prepping.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are a great, portable snack and breakfast. You can eat them plain or add them to salads, sandwiches, and more. But don’t let the yolk get too dry and inedible.

]]> The great outdoors is a fantastic place to workout. You can walk, run, ride a bike for miles and miles, and see lush greenery and new things. It’s also a lot cheaper than purchasing a treadmill. But during the summer, you lose breeze and can also lose some motivation. Here are a few ways that we like to stay cool while we workout.

Shower Dip

Right before you workout, go into a cold shower and submerge your hair in the water. Don’t wring it out–the water will slowly evaporate into the heat, but you’ll stay cool with the water dripping down! You can also dip in the shower with your workout shirt on, which will take longer to heat up.

Ice Water

Put your water bottle in the freezer a few hours before your workout. It will slowly melt as your routine goes on, but is a refreshing and rejuvenating beverage while the ice lasts. You can also do this with your workout clothes so they stay cool as well.

Wear Light Clothing

Black absorbs sunlight, making you hotter! Light colors like white will reflect the sun, keeping your body cool. So make good activewear choices!
