Here Are Two Diet Tips to Help You Reach Your Slim Down Goal

in

Choosing the right pre-exercise meal can go a long way to helping you reach your slim down goal. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that women who consume muesli, yogurt and fruit before an hour long workout burned 50% more calories than women who ate corn flakes, white toast with jam and milk. That’s because the yogurt meal falls on the low glycemic index scale so your body uses internal stores for energy (burning fat for energy). The other breakfast causes a rapid blood sugar spike which your body will use for immediate fuel.

Try a new lean meat like bison and switch out a higher fat red cut of meat. Bison is actually lower in fat and calories than a skinless chicken breast. You can find bison burgers now nationwide.
