Hey there fellow fitbitches,
I just got home from the gym & made a really yummy shake, so I wanted to share it with you! I used a handful of mixed frozen fruit, which consisted of mangoes, strawberries & peaches. I added a big scoop of EAS chocolate whey protein & a enough soymilk for the fruit almost submerged. I "accidentally" made a little extra, so I feel like a real bad bitch when I drink it. It's sweet & delicious, but you're not indulging like you would with a heaping scoop of Coldstone ice cream.
On another note, I got a question from one of my followers regarding protein intake. I told him how I try to consume 1g/lb of body weight. However, I want to make it clear I am not a fan of numbers. Firstly, I'm handicapped in math. Secondly, counting numbers can get obsessive. When I first got into running, I went from 171lbs to about 135lbs without ever getting on the scale. I ate clean & KICKED MY ASS. This is not to say that you shouldn't be aware of what you are eating. If you are conscious of what is going in your mouth & the amount of calories you are exerting a day, you can lose weight without counting every calorie & lb lost. Note however that I am not a body builder or figure pro, these bitches count it all & their crazy hard work shows!! I like to keep it more simple for the everyday bitch trying to stay fit. Be honest with yourself when you're about to put something in your mouth. Here are some idiot-proof rules that you can follow to shed weight without stepping on the scale every five minutes (which I absolutely have done).
1)Take a quick look at the ingredients. Is there high-fructose corn syrup? Is sugar on the top of the ingredient (or as Teresa Giudice would say: ingrediences) list? Try to purchase food that doesn't have a ton of ingredients.
2) Is there color on your plate? The stuff you should get a lot of, fruits & especially veggies, tend to be colorful. Get sexy with your color palette. Make art out of your food. I like to make my salads bright & sexy. Peppers, carrots, tomatoes, walnuts, bright, crunchy leafy greens (maybe some kale!), avocado, celery, strawberries. Throw a ton of fruit & veggies in there. Your body will show you some love in return!
3) Have you had bread with every meal? Use your head. If you had 3 pancakes at breakfast, you should probably skip the bagel sandwich for lunch. Remove the goods from inside the bread & eat it sans bread.
4) Eat food that hasn't been tampered with. The less processed the better. Again, a regular banana is a lot better than say banana ice cream. This brings the topic of fruits & veggies back into play. Eat real food!!!!
These are just a few. Use your head when you eat. Don't claim ignorance. Figuring out what to eat is pretty easy, the portion control & how often to eat can be challenging. I'll come up with some rules for that & post ASAP.
Love,
FitBitch
