Ways to get healthy and lose weight

Follow these tips to start building a healthier, brighter you:)

Make lemon water twice a day: squeeze a whole fresh lemon in 16oz of cold water; drink one of these in the morning and evening.

Eat at least an apple a day! Apples speed up your metabolism and clean out bad cholesterol from your system. Make sure to chew them throughly.

Munch on celery when you need to satisfy the need to chew. Celery is extremely low in calories(15 for 2 stalks) and your body burns off more than what you take in. Its considered a negative calorie food.

Make sure you eat enough protein! Depending on your needs, you should be getting between 30-40 grams a day! Quest bars are a great option, because they have 20 grams of protein, 17 grams of fiber, and satisfy any sweet tooth!
Tip: Heat them up in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a yummy treat!

Eat plain greek yogurt for a source of protein, and top it with some fresh fruit. There are so many things you can do with greek yogurt; frozen greek yogurt pops, oatmeal topped with greek yogurt, greek yogurt smoothie, greek yogurt with granola, greek yogurt instead of mayo, and many more!

Get Active! Try to do at least 20 minutes of exercise 3 days a week, whether it be cardio, strength training, or yoga! Even the littlest things can make a big difference, like a few squats and push-ups everyday!

Remember, you won't see results over night. Transitioning into a healthy life style takes time, so pace yourself. Set realistic goals that you can stick with, and soon enough you will reach them. Do what works for you. Good luck!
