What are some healthy recipes and snacks?

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit.





Here are the golden rules:


Initially cut down to 1200 calories.


Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions.


Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.


Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.


Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.


Never eat dinner after 6pm.


Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!


Make low fat dairy choices





Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:


Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon


20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR


fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt


Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)


Lunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna %26amp; salad (no butter)


Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk %26amp; 1/4 cup yogurt


Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad %26amp; mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato


Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)





Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.





Cardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.





To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again.

Fruit salad, just chop it all up and put it in a container, then in the fridge. A little tip, put some fresh lemon juice in to help it stay fresh longer.What are some healthy recipes and snacks?
