Hey I know alot of people are viewing my Blog, but I don't see any comments let me hear from where you are from!!!!! Then also here are some healthy tips from me to you!
1. Eat your protein! It helps build muscle and keeps your metabolism high.
2. Eat fish. It's rich in omega-3 fatty acids which promote fat loss and enhance leptin (a hormone that quiets your appetite).
3. Choose low-glycemic carbs. Unprocessed, high fiber carbs keep your
blood sugar balanced and your body in fat-burning mode. Regularly eating
high-glycemic carbs (like candy, white pasta) can lead to fat storage
in the midsection.

Healthy Morning Breakfast!
So Important to eat a good breakfast!!!
You can start with Fuel that is the best , control calories, vitamins and your off! But if you run out and need other ideas!!!! Here are a few! :)
1. Avocado Toast with Egg Sometimes, simple is just better. In this recipe, two slices of whole-grain bread, lightly toasted, topped with smashed avocado and a sprinkling of salt and pepper makes for a flavorful and rich base. Top that with two sunny-side-up eggs for a healthy dose of protein, and you've got a well-rounded breakfast. Stack 'em in a Tupperware container for easy transport or cook the yolks a bit more and make the whole thing into a sandwich.
2. Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Smoothies are a perfect on-the-go snack any time of day. Blend 1 frozen banana, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 1 cup soy or almond milk (which keep longer out of the fridge than regular milk), and a few ice cubes. (Add a scoop of your favorite chocolate or vanilla protein for an extra protein boost.) If this is a morning snack, keep it in a tight-sealing container and throw it in a gym or work bag. For an afternoon boost, prep it the night before and freeze, remove in the morning, and it will be thawed and ready to enjoy after lunch.
3. Zapped Scrambled Eggs with Veggies Yes, it’s possible to make really good scrambled eggs in the microwave. And it’s easy! Beat 2 eggs, throw in a microwave-safe container, add 1 handful of your favorite veggies (cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves work well), and a sprinkle of cheese. Zap the mixture for 30 seconds, stir, and cook another 30 seconds, or until eggs are solid. Throw a top on the container to eat later, or store the raw mixture in a fridge until ready to heat and eat.
4. Breakfast Burrito Who doesn’t love a burrito? Breakfast burritos are a great, easy snack to keep on hand. Scramble 2 egg whites, ¼ cup black beans, 2 tablespoons salsa, and 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, and wrap in 1 small whole-wheat tortilla. Make a bunch, wrap in foil, and keep in the freezer for whenever the craving hits. Protein from the eggs and black beans keep you fuller longer, and the spicy salsa keeps things interesting. Try assembling and wrapping each half separately for more snack-friendly portions.
5. Healthy Morning Glory Muffins An oat-based muffin packed with healthy carrots and zucchini, lightly sweetened with raisins and just a pinch of sugar makes a perfect breakfast or snack. Use a mini-muffin tin for smaller portions, and eliminate or cut back on the brown sugar or choose a healthier substitute to cut back on sugar. :)
