RAINBOW DIET

With the arrive of summer and light clothes, you don't have more excuse to indulge in comfty food or stay in front of tv all day. Some days ago I as cooking dinner for family and I had tv open (when I am alone i like the rumor of tv, it is a sort of company), there was a program 10 pounds to challenge, then in the afternoon doing some baby sitting I read a pair of inspirational articles on Cosmopolitan Body ; one about the weight lost of Julia Kozersky (look the pic of her trasformation are amazing) and the other about How would must to do a perfect (food) day:

Your friendly colours are: blue, red, purple, green. Wine is not deleted but you need to drink only once glass and not one bottle, it is rich of fat.

so here there are some choiches, that could be perfect also for lunchbox (buying your lunch daily is not good for healt and wallet, take time and prepare it by yourself), yes if you usually eat realy fat food or buy your lunch daily at beginning it could seems strange but day after day, it became easily and see how clothes in shops fit you better is a good solution.

Well I don't have problem with fuit and veggies and luckily in summer there is the great choiches of fresh products, but i have problems to eat eggs for breafast and eat lamb,the only kind of meat I eat are: chicken, turkey and some pork, but I like fish so I think I can find a good compromise.

Use a journal to write what you eat and what kind of exercise you do so yo can see on pape if there are areas to adjust, write a list of goals about you and you see little difference day by day!!!
