Let's get this party started! Weigh ins are almost done for the 6 Week Challenge and BCA101 hopes you are getting excited!
A word about food. Well, probably more than a word as time goes on! I have a food plan, if a guideline is needed. Remember, the calories are in the 1200 range. If you are someone who can be disciplined and like to choose your own food, here are a couple of resources. Keep your snacks simple and in the 100-200 calorie range. Start planning on what they will be so you are not tempted to cheat on Doritos!
Hungry Girl is a fun site and if I am not mistaken they have started carrying some of her "brand" in the bread section of Walmart.
This is a good site for calorie count in your foods
A good book to have on hand is Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Cookbook. It's always a good idea to see how different ingredients in a recipe for great flavor with low calories.
A few snack ideas are a T of natural peanut butter with carrots, apples or celery, 1/2 C low fat cottage cheese with 1C berries, hummus and whole wheat pita, low fat cheese and apple, fruit in general, handful of almonds, part skim mozzarella cheese sticks or fat free (no sugar) yogurt with fruit and a squirt of liquid Stevia (or sprinkle a packet). Try to stay away from startchy snacks, they tend to trigger "binge".
Start to stock your shelves NOW!!
These are just a few tips for getting started. If you have a tried and true tip of your own, please share!!
