Do you want to lose weight but just flat out don't have the time? You might work a full time job which keeps you on your toes from dawn to dusk... or maybe you are a stay at home Mom working 24/7. So how can you possibly lose weight with so much to do and endless distractions?
Diet tips for busy women can be the difference between staying on a diet program, or failing and feeling miserable about it.
Diet tips for busy women:
o Prepare meals ahead of time and have them ready to pop in the oven or microwave, OR have diet meals delivered directly to your door.
o Make double or triple batches of food. I never make a meatloaf, soup, taco filling, etc. without doubling the recipe and putting the other half in the freezer.
o Buy lots of fruit and when you arrive home from shopping, go ahead and wash it and divvy it up in containers for quick, healthy snacks.
o Begin your day with a big breakfast so you aren't tempted to sneak a doughnut or sugary snack mid morning..
o Include a source of lean protein at every meal to keep your energy up. Chicken breast, low-fat cottage cheese, extra lean meats, and egg whites are all excellent sources.
o Add fiber to your diet to help you feel full longer so you don't want to eat as much. Added benefit - fiber is often low in calories. 3-5 servings of fruits or veggies are a perfect source.
o Include stress-combating foods that will aid your immune system; garlic, celery, almonds and sunflower seeds, and Vitamins A, C, E, the B complex, calcium, magnesium, zinc and selenium are indispensable in the diet of busy women.
o Drink lots of water; ideally about two liters of water daily.
Along with diet tips, exercise is essential no matter how busy a woman you are.
o Try doing 2 minute mini sessions throughout the day including squats, lunges, running in place..
o Take the stairs when possible
o Park your car a longer distance so you can walk a little further than necessary.
