Quick Fit Tip #1: Post-exercise eating
Focus
on foods rich in complex carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores in the muscles. This should take place one to two hours
after a hard workout. A good rule of thumb is to consume 50 to 100 grams of carbohydrates (200 -400 calories) after
a strenuous workout.

Fit Tip #2: Water Tip
Each day fill
a container with your daily water supply so you'll always know how much you've drank, and ensure you drink the
required daily amount.
Quick
Tip#3:Eating Out
When eating
out, ask that entrees be grilled or broiled without added fats, and request salad dressing and sauces "on the side"
Quick Tip #4
Be aware of no-fat-low-fat products. Low-fat yet tasty means more sugar was added. Just because
something says low fat doesn't mean that you can't gain weight from it. Substitute fatty foods with vegetables; you'll
feel fuller because of the fiber levels in vegetables.
Quick
Fit Tip #5 Replace high-fat salad dressings with balsalmic vinegar, swap butter for omega-3
filled olive oil, and ditch the white rice for fiber-packed brown or wild rice.
Quick Fit Tip #6
Natural, unrefined Celtic sea Salt (not table salt) contains
many natural minerals, neutralizes toxins, and enhances organ function. It also contributes to the hydration of our cells
and organs.
