Healthy Eating and Weight Loss — Another installment of INSTEAD OF EATING THAT…
I hope you like this segment because I really love it!!
INSTEAD OF EATING: A Cinnabon (810 calories)
You could have eaten a turkey sandwich on 2 slices of whole wheat bread with cheese, a cup of tomato soup, 2 plums, a garden salad with 2 tbsp fat free dressing and a small sliced tomato and 1/2 sliced cucumber.
OH MY look LUNCH AND HALF YOUR DINNER!!!!! Or some greasy sweet roll that has to last you HALF A DAY and has 5 grams of trans fat (not to mention the 32 grams of total fat and more than 100 carbs!!) Skip it and get real about fueling your body
To all my personal training clients and friends here in Douglasville, I sincerely hopes this helps you find a better path to healthy eating and weight loss.
New Feature for Healthy Eating — Instead of Eating THAT
Ok – starting a new feature this week that you will see regularly. I am calling it EAT THIS NOT THAT. I will show ONE THING that you can SKIP EATING and all the healthy things you could have eaten instead. My intention is for this to be a wake up call and also to point out HOW MANY calories are actually in some things. I know lots of my personal training clients here in Douglasville are always looking for better ways to eat so I hope this helps anyone who is looking to lose weight or get healthy!!
So for today — let’s start with breakfast
INSTEAD OF EATING THAT: Dunkin Donuts Sausage Egg and Cheese Croissant (690 calories)
You could have had THIS: Egg beaters (3/4 cup equiv of 3 eggs), turkey sausages (3 links), 2 slices rye toast with 2 tsp butter, an apple, an orange, a non-fat yogurt
See the point — LOOK AT ALL THAT FOOD — That is a full breakfast and a couple of snacks!!!! OH and you still save yourself the 7 grams of trans fat and have a nowhere near the 51 grams of total fat that croissant has.
Great new Recipe and more printable recipes!!

Hope you like them!
And to all my great friends in Douglasville and at the gym, it was wonderful to see you on Halloween. Hope the holiday was awesome and that you had your fill. A TIP : Halloween is the day for indulging not for weeks after so if you still have treats kicking around, toss them before they wreck your weight loss or weight maintenance goals
