Change your eating habits ...

Remember, just because you’ve made it a point to eat healthy doesn’t mean you can’t go out every now and then to enjoy restaurant food. You just have to know what to look for, what to avoid, and where to make substitutions. You can order the chicken fajita, but instead of the Mexican rice and refried beans, ask for black beans or a salad on the side. Opt for the grilled vegetables instead of the twice-baked potato or French fries. Substitute the hash browns for sliced tomatoes. You get the idea — this stuff will take a little extra thought at first, but in no time it'll be second nature. JM

It's so important that if you're changing your lifestyle and working out that you also change eating habits. It's very hard at the beginning to change everything all at once so take it step by step. If you are going out to eat or you are at a party be mindful of what you are eating. Making small swaps will lead to bigger things. If you eat out everyday for lunch or dinner try swapping one or two days for a homemade meal. When you start reaping the benefits from the swap you will be more driven to change more and not feel so overwhelmed. We all know that sometimes you just have to have a piece of cake and thats fine but everything in moderation.
