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.

Having a healthy body all starts with what you put into it, and eating lots of junk food is definitely not the way to go!

Getting from the body you are in to the body you want requires that you implement a complete and integrated program. You now know what drives you and what you are willing to do to reach your goals.

The next step in your transformation is to acquire the knowledge that can be turned into new positive habits. It’s time to implement the Fit Yummy Mummy Fat Loss Factors.

Now, before we begin, I need to make sure we are clear on this up front….THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS when it comes to Losing Body Fat! There is nothing you can "skip over" to save more time or get to the end result faster.

What you NEED to Know to go from Frazzled and Frumpy to Fit and Yummy.

  • Each pound of fat equals 3500 calories. To Lose 1lb. of Fat you must create a deficit of 3500 calories. (500 calories less a day so in 1 week you’ll lose 1 pound of fat)
  • Healthy fat loss is about 1-2 pounds of body fat each week
  • Eating 500 less calories a day is much easier than burning off 500 calories a day.
  • Dieting without exercise is a dead end. Starving yourself to lose 1 to 2 pounds each week will bring your metabolism to a screeching halt, increase stress, craving and mood swings.
  • Eating supportive foods every 3 to 4 hours burns more calories and creates a healthy, thriving metabolism.
  • Short Burst Exercise not only boosts your metabolism and burns more fat, it is energizing and is the only way to Re-Shape your "Mommy Body"
  • Both Nutrition and Exercise are Vital to Boosting your Metabolism to meet and exceed your fat loss goals

Stress and Cancer

Cancer is a word that we all dread hearing but unfortunately the sad fact is that about 1 in 3 men and 1 in 4 women will contract some form of cancer in their lives.

My own mother died from secondary breast cancer almost 7 years ago, with only one other sister diagnosed and surviving breast cancer. The ironic thing with my mother’s family, was that she was one of 11 children, and only her and her sister contracted it. Why does this happen and why haven’t any other members of the family got cancer too?

It makes you question the way you live your life and what you can do to improve your nutrition, exercise and overall general health, to live a long and fulfilling life.

I believe that thought processes and stress contribute to certain forms of cancer. If you’re in a negative frame of mind you begin to see and feel changes within your body, so if you are inflicted with a serious disease it makes it so much harder to fight.

The same can be said for stress. We all know that stress is a major factor in heart disease, but have you ever thought that it can also increase your chances of being diagnosed with cancer? Your body becomes very vulnerable to disease when under stress, so it’s very wise to do all you can to overcome the stress before it does any long term damage.

If you’re under a lot of stress at work or home, then take some time out to take a long walk or listen to calming, soothing music. It’s relaxation for your body and mind and you’ll feel so much better for it! You owe it to yourself and your family to look after YOU!
