Eating Rules

Summer is a time when we all want to be bikini ready, all the time. On top of exercising, you have to really watch your food intake and eat as healthily and clean as possible. Here are some easy rules to follow this summer to be sure to maintain your weight (compliment of Jillian Michael's book "Making The Cut"):
1)If it's a non food, don't eat it.
2)The longer it lasts on the shelf, the worse it is for you.
3)Never eat anything with the words hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils/fats in the list of ingredients.
4)Avoid refined sugars and high-fructose corn syrup(HFCS) at all costs.
5)Never eat any food product that has been "enriched"

Jillian also recommends eating 4 times a day (3 meals and one snack) every 4 hours. And also make sure you get the right mix of protein, fat, and carbs in each meal.

Her book "Making the Cut" is diet and exercise program that is 30 days to your best body ever (running in a bikini good). It is for those who are already in good shape and need to drop only 10 to 20 pounds. Yesterday was day 1 for me, I will let you know how it pans out.
