Healthy Meal Plan

Implementing a nutrition plan does not have to be tedious! The Fit Yummy Mummy System is all about making better choices and evaluating how you take care of yourself on a daily basis. Not only will these choices boost your metabolism, eliminate cravings, burn more fat and increase your energy dramatically, but you’ll also learn how to start living successfully, each and every day.

Energy is found in the food we eat. The amount of energy food has is measured in calories. Calories come from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Calories FUEL our body. Not only does your body need all three nutrients for growth, metabolism and other vital body functions, the quality of these nutrients contribute to satiety and the amount of calories that you burn.

Processed foods generally provide too many calories and too much sugar, rapidly increasing/decreasing blood sugar, resulting in hunger and fatigue. A healthy meal plan consists of whole natural foods, which pack more nutrients, are higher in fiber, and leave you feeling energized and satisfied and force the body to work harder to use them as energy. Thus you burn more calories, lose more fat.

There are 3 categories with a list of the most nutrient rich foods. The "quick start" action plan is to choose a serving from each of the 3 categories as you plan each meal. Make an effort to choose
fresh over frozen whenever possible. When in doubt go with the 2P’s: Protein and Produce. These 2 food categories alone are all you need to give you the most nutrients and lowest calories. Fill your plate with 1 part protein and 3 parts produce. Or you may use the "two-thirds, one-third rule" vegetables/fruits and whole grains should visually occupy about two-thirds of a 9-inch plate and a quality protein the remaining one-third. This is a small snapshot of a healthy meal plan.

Is Obesity Going To Take Over The World?

Why do really obese people go to the "all-you-can-eat" restaurants? Logic should tell them that it’s only going to add to the problem. The problem is that they’re passing their bad habits on to their children and their children’s children, so it becomes a merry-go-round. I’ve seen it in my own family with the children emulating what the parents eat and drink and consequently they’re all dangerously overweight. And they don’t care!

The cost to society in the future is going to be enormous as more and more adults and children will be afflicted by Diabetes and Heart Disease. And guess what? You and I as taxpayers will foot the bill!

"Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people are now average. Which means you’ve met your New Year’s resolution."

The above comment by Jay Leno may be funny, but it’s not funny when you walk around the streets and see so many overweight adults and kids.

I saw a story on TV last week of a 16 year old boy who was so fat they had to get a special horse lifter from a vet’s surgery to get him into hospital. His obesity had put so much pressure on his lungs that he could hardly breathe. He lived at home and his mother took no responsibility for him being in that condition. To me, that’s child abuse.

We need to get junk food out of the schools and off TV so that future generations might have a fighting chance of staying healthy.
