Basics of Healthy Habits Have a look at these basic tips to get off to the best possible start and keep the momentum long-term so that it becomes a habit for you: 1)
Plan ahead. A great rule of thumb is to create your tomorrow today – meaning plan ahead with what foods you are eating and when. Whether you are working or in school or traveling, your goal is to know ahead of time what you are going to eat and come prepared. KEY: Having healthy food in your home and with you when away from home at all times helps so much with staying on track. Check out the ‘What to Avoid’ list (lol J ) to help stay away from all those things that taste great but don’t serve our goals.
2) Morning Mastery. Join your Coach’s social media groups for tips and ideas. A great way to get off to a great start is to create a Routine out of the first 20 minutes of your morning that includes hydration, fitness, your nutrition shake and personal development. Our life is a series of routines – the more powerfully your morning starts off, the stronger your day goes. 3) Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. We are all so busy so its easy to remember the importance. One of the secret weapons for health, ideal weight and cleansing the body is drinking ½ your body weight in oz of water. A great start is at least 2L of water. 4) Support. One of the best parts of the program you’ve started is you have a community. Your Coach’s social media pages & groups are there to cheer you on and be there for you on great days & tough ones. Posting regularly makes all the difference for connecting with all these great people. We strongly also recommend an Accountability Partner – who is a family member of friend who has similar goals and you can each help one another stay on track. And of course you always have us as your Coach every step of the way.

What to Avoid! These are things you want to stay away from and why… The ‘Whites’
• Examples: sweets, pastries, basically any sugar-based food • Additional examples: white bread, white pasta, noodles • What to look for in labels – hidden sugars exist in a lot of our foods: corn syrup, corn starch, maple syrup • These spike your blood sugar and lead to inflammation, increased body fat and increased weight. Unhealthy Flavorings & Ingredients • Look for these unhealthy ingredients: aspartame, MSG, corn syrup maltodextrose, BHA & BHT, acesulfame potassium, potassium bromate, sodium benzoate, partially hydrogenated oil, sodium nitrate Trans Fats: • Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat that occur in small amounts in nature but became widely produced industrially from vegetable fats for use in margarine, snack foods, packaged baked goods and frying fast food starting in the 1950s. Trans fat has been shown to consistently be associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, • Examples of where trans fats can be found: argarine, packaged mixes like muffin mixes or cake mixes, instant ramen noodles, french fries, deep fried foods, baked goods

Planning Your Eating Each Day Use this basic guide for how to eat based on your goals. The Keys:
• Eat every 2-3 hours • Never go hungry – if you feel hungry reach out right away so we can adjust your snacks and meals • Make sure you are adding Protein Drink Mix or Personalized Protein Powder to your Formula 1 shake to boost the protein to 24g • Herbal concentrate tea: drink this at least 2-3x a a day for energy, boosting the metabolism
