11 Healthy, Quick and Easy Snacks for Busy San Franciscans

No Comment

Let me start by saying that I understand that most busy professionals and working moms and dads in San Francisco have difficulty finding time in their days to eat healthy snacks between breakfast, lunch and dinner! This is very important to do and helps you to maintain your energy levels and burn fat on a regular basis while getting through your busy days.

I decided to help you take the guess work out of healthy snacking by providing you a list of options to choose from (I highlighted my favorites!)

  1. 5 Whole Grain Crackers with cheese. I recommend Ak Mak or Raincoat Crisp Crackers
  2. 1 cup Plain Yogurt with 1/2 cup blue berries mixed in. I love the brands FAGE and Saint bonnet
  3. Handful of almonds and dried fruit (no added preservatives)
  4. Preservative free granola or dried fruit and nut bar such as Kind Bars and Lara Bars
  5. 3/4 Cup baby carrots and 4 Walnut halvesDried Fruit Pot-open
  6. 1 Slice cheese with 1 apple or any piece of fruit
  7. 1 Apple with 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter
  8. 1 piece of celery with 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter
  9. 1/2 cup soybeans with 1/4 cup dried fruit
  10. 1/4 Avocado on 5 whole grain crackers or 1/2 slice of whole grain bread
  11. 1 Tomato with Fresh Mozzarella cheese and basil

7 Ways to Beat your Holiday Sugar Cravings in San Francisco

No Comment

I have been getting tons of questions from my clients about how to curb those sugar cravings during the Holidays! I know this can be difficult sometimes but if you following these easy steps, they will make a big difference:

Sweets Gift Basket Stack 300x300 7 Ways to Beat your Holiday Sugar Cravings in San Francisco

1 – Brush Your Teeth or Chew Gum right after a Meal. This helps you to forget about eating something sweet to finish your meal off.

2 – Get enough sleep! When we don’t sleep enough we don’t get a good grip on what we put in our mouths and we stop caring. Sleep at least 7 hours a night.

3 – Make a deal with a friend – Promise each other that you will not eat sugar so you have a buddy to confide in. This way you can hold each other accountable.

4 – Stop drinking sweet things like sodas that are PACKED with calories. Instead, drink a glass of water. -). Re-hydrating yourself often helps you to cut out the sugar.

5- Quit Cold Turkey! My client Nancy thinks this is the best way and I have to agree. Once you fight your cravings for about 2 days, things get a lot easier. You will stop thinking of going to that snack vending machine after lunch and grabbing a candy bar or soda. Your body stops craving it so much.

6- Eat a piece of fruit instead. The sweetness from the fruit will satisfy you and being packed with fiber and other nutrients it’s good for body!

Tropical Fruits

7 – Food Journal. Tracking your food intake really helps you to see exactly how much sugar you are ingesting a day. Writing things down makes it a lot easier to say no to bad foods!

I hope this helps you get through the holidays! Leave a comment to let me know!

The 3 F Words of Fat Loss in San Francisco

 1 Comment

lifestyle 1 The 3 F Words of Fat Loss in San FranciscoHolidays are coming up and eating healthy becomes such a struggle for most people to keep up with! I remember working in an office during the holidays with clients constantly bringing in gift baskets and co-workers baking cookies to distribute to all of us. Strong will power is needed to stay away from eating so many delicious sweets.

After all the questions from my clients about how to maintain or even lose weight during the holidays with so many temptations around, I started thinking about how I could make fat loss an easy and effective system to make a part of your daily life. What I came up with are the the 3 F Words of Fat loss:

  1. Food Journaling.
  2. Fast, effective workouts.
  3. Five meals a day.

These steps may seem fairly obvious but when done, they are highly effective! In fact my clients that use these 3 basic techniques lose weight faster than the others because they are more aware conscious about what they are putting into their mouths.  Remember, it is one thing to know about them and a whole other thing to actually use these techniques so USE them and I guarantee you will see results!
