I Just Want A Reese's...

A major part of this whole weight loss thing is learning what to eat, and how much you should be shoving in your mouth. It's a bitch to figure out, because everyone and their mother has an option on what you should eat, when you should eat it, and how much you should eat. Every new thing you read seems to contradict the last thing you read. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Let's start with my sinful favorites. I am a hardcore lover of Reese's PB Cups... Actually, anything and everything peanut butter. It's my favorite thing to stick in my face hole. On a spoon, with apples, in my oatmeal, on toast. I've tried PB2 {GROSS} and almond butter {Meh.} but neither one made me swoon. It's one of those things I'm not willing to give up. Coffee, energy drinks, phad thai, and teriyaki are on that list, too. If I were to cut that stuff out completely, there would come a day where I would gorge myself on piles of phad thai, half a jar of peanut butter, and a case of Monster. That my friends is not a good idea. Just because you're losing weight and getting fit doesn't mean you need to totally deprive yourself of the yummy things you love. Moderation people... Moderation.

I've adapted my own diet using the basics of clean eating. I use lots of lean proteins, salt-free spices, tons of vegetables, and enough fruit to kill an elephant. I eat carbs because your body needs them- But they should always be the smallest part of your meal. I love almond milk, greek yogurt, eggs, and cheese... Don't try to come between me and my cheese. I'll cut you.

I try to "shop the perimeter" when I go to the grocery store. That's where the fresh foods are- Produce, meats, seafood, dairy... The usual suspects. Obviously there is shit you need that is in the middle, but just be mindful of what your grabbing. Boxed and canned, processed foods have a shitstorm of preservatives and sodium, and that crap isn't good for you. F'real, yo.

Small changes in your diet can make a huge difference not only on the scale, but also how you FEEL. Feed your body good food, and it will function better!
