Healthy Recipes

• Eating clean involves eating several smaller meals throughout the day. This way, you won't go hungry and your metabolism burns steady and strong all day long.

• Never skip breakfast or any meal. A missed meal sends a signal to your brain that there isn't enough food to function properly, so it slows down your metabolism and holds on to every single calorie.

• Fiber fills you up to trim you down! Studies show that fiber not only lowers the risk of cancer, heart attack, and high blood pressure, but it also keeps you full to help decrease the amount of calories you consume daily. (It's easy to add more fiber into your diet: sprinkle ground flaxseed on top of your oatmeal, in your yogurt or protein shake; toss ½ cup chickpeas into your favorite soup; sprinkle Fiber One cereal on top of your salad for a yummy crunch; eat an orange rather than drinking just the juice-the pulp contains fiber).
