Healthy Portions

You may be eating "HEALTHY" but are you eating appropriate portions?
I am a lover of all things CARBS,
but eating smart requires some portion size eyeballing.

Protein
Carbs
Fat

In that order.....from greatest to least.  
Digestion, energy, fat storage are all variables 
based on your intake.  

Working on stabilizing your blood sugar we focus on how things burn in your body.
Treating your body like a furnace......  
What goes in should be considered fuel that will get you to your goals. 

STEP ONE: eliminating the CRAP
STEP TWO: increasing your protein & veggies
STEP THREE: portion control
STEP FOUR: proper exercise based on your intake & energy levels

NUTRITION is 85% of results
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
The most common mistake is, too large of portion sizes of "HEALTHY" things like nuts, nut butters, seeds, dressings & avocado.  

Let's think about it this way, FATS are responsible for slowly releasing what you have eaten to be used as energy.  The more fat you consume the more slowly you burn off what you have eaten.  In most cases this means, the last meal isn't gone when you sit down for the next.
That leads to fat storage and a decreases your metabolism.......like pouring dirt on the fire.

EVEN HEALTHY THINGS 
SHOULD BE CONSUMED
IN MODERATION.
