HOTFOX SHAPE FOR LIFE!

1. PORTION CONTROL- it is so very important to know how much your food intake controls your weight even when your eating fairly healthy foods too much of it can pile on the kgs. So always eat from a entree sized plate, never go back for seconds, for meats and other proteins always make it the size of your palm!
2. LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE- late nights out are fun once in a while but can wreak havoc on your body and health.
   Not getting enough sleep, boozing it up and heading for the nearest maccas are a HOTFOX no no. Not only can it put be bad for our weight but also age you very quickly
   So make sure you get plenty of sleep, limit your drinks to two vodka and sodas and lead a lifestyle you can be
   proud of and give back to family and your friends and help those less fortunate by donating to your favourite charity!
3. Supplements- HOTFOX highly recommends getting yourself a good quality protein powder, having LSA mix on your cereals, a Blackmores woman’s multivitamin everyday, and having protein with every meal and wild krill oil essential for woman’s weight loss!
4. EAT FRESH MOST OF THE TIME- go to your local farmers market to buy your fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables, and your meats and fish. Not only is it great to buy fresh from the farm for your body it is great to support your local farmer!
5. LISTEN TO MUSIC WHEN YOUR WORKING OUT- a known fact is that when you listen to music you go harder and faster. So load up your mp3 with your favourite beats and get your trainers on.
6. THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTEIN- protein makes us feel fuller for longer, nourishes our body and keeps us feeling great so include it with each meal; eggs, fish, legumes, green leafy vegetables, nuts, low fat cheese,
   Beans, lean red meats!
7. SKIN AND BEAUTY- get yourself into LUSH and PERFECT POTION for truly amazing skin they are all natural and organic products not to mention they don’t test on animals! Update your make up range for every season. Go and get yourself a good spray tan we girls feel and look better with a slight tan HOTFOX highly recommends MODELCO. STAY OUT OF THAT SUN!
8. DON’T FORGET TO STRETCH- it is so very important to stretch out before and after exercise or even whenever you feel a tad stressed out, prevents injury, prepares your muscles for exercise, warms them up and helps us to become just a tad more supple.
9. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE- Ditch the downers in your life and identify your friends and family who support you completely and make you feel good!
   When you hang around people who have a positive and happy mindset you will become one as well!
10. Never compare yourself nor try to compete with anyone else, there is only one of you and it is AWESOME! ‘An original is always worth more than a copy’!
11. DON’T LET YOUR SOCIAL LIFE MAKE YOU PILE ON THE kgs! – arh yes ladies this is a tricky one when your eating out with friends and family as many things from menus have hidden fat content plus you can sometimes want seconds even thirds! Fill up on water before you go out, have a entree sized serving, share with your food with a friend. Don’t let eating out sabotage your all hard work. SAVE EATING OUT AND BOOZING UP FOR THOSE VERY SPECIAL OCCASIONS IE BIRTHDAYS, CHRISTMAS AND THAT BIG EXCITING DAY WHEN YOU HAVE FINALLY REACHED YOUR GOAL!

3PM MUNCHIES HOW TO BEAT THEM!

1. Do you find it hard to beat those afternoon munchies and I do confess that this includes me! The urge to have something sweet like chocolate in the afternoon can be overwhelming. Cravings are diet busters and need to be managed if healthy eating or weight loss is one of your goals.CAUSES – foods that are high in fat and most processed foods increase your appetite and hunger. Your body becomes insulin resistant and resistant and carbohydrate cravings are the result!-STRESS can cause your blood sugar to lower, and cause stress related eating ..so stress less!-EMOTIONAL some people have emotional memories with certain foods, causing you to crave it!-COMFORT EATING we all  do this  but try to work out why your feeling like this and deal with it!NOW LETS KICK THE HABIT 1. Drink water , sometimes we can mistake being hungry when we are just dehydrated so try and have 2 litres per day it is so very important!
2. Between meals have a small healthy snack, it is better to give your body a constant supply of low calorie proteins and carbohydrates to prevent bigger cravings
3. ARE YOU CRAVING SALT? Go and have some almonds as they supply fibre, good fats and vitamin E, other great things are olives, hummus, carrot sticks or multigrain crispbread with avocado and tomato!
4. ARE YOU CRAVINGS SOMETHING SWEET? The best thing is an apple especially before a meal as it will decrease your appetite and help you digest your food also strawberries, low fat yoghurt, frozen grapes or a vanilla shake with low fat yoghurt , milk and almond essence!APPLES, BLUEBERRIES, SPICY AND WARM FOODS, LOTS OF WATER AND VEGETABLES WILL HELP YOU KICK THESE CRAVINGS TO THE CURB!Also by distracting yourself like phoning a friend, having a good stretch out, go for a brisk walk outside will help that 3pm chocolate craving disappear for good!
