My tips will help make your Skinny life sweet!
1. Baby Steps
We may dream of quick fixes on our path to the Skinny Life, but biting off more than we can chew (so to speak!) is bound to backfire. So start small with goals that are within easy reach. Soon, all those little wins will add up, and you'll see your successes — and your self-esteem — growing!
2. Nutrition Labels Are Your Friends
Knowledge is power. Get to know nutrition label lingo and you'll become a pro at spotting yucky trans fats, healthy fiber counts and deciphering tricky serving size information. Take my Cowculator for a spin and see how getting the facts means making Skinnier choices!
3. Never Say Diet
Don't focus on what's “off limits.” Indulge instead in healthy, satisfying meals, and reserve at least 20 minutes of uninterrupted time to really savor the flavors each time you sit down. The perfect end to a delicious dinner? Your favorite THE SKINNY COW® frozen snack, of course!
4. Mix It Up In The Kitchen
Who says you have to sauté veggies in butter? Or cook meat in oil? Sautéing or poaching in broth, marinating and roasting are all smart ways you can subtract fat and add flavor to your food. Start experimenting in the kitchen. Your thighs may thank you!
5. Moderation Is Where It's At
Sadly, humungous restaurant-size portions have skewed our serving size perception. To keep proper portions in mind, use your hand: The palm of your hand = one serving of meat. Your fist = a serving of rice or pasta. Your thumb = one serving of cheese. Wrapping your hand around one of THE SKINNY COW® frozen snacks = perfectly portioned bliss.
