Your health can bloom like your spring garden

Kim Raubenheimer - Sunday, June 06, 2010
Spring time, time to shed layers of clothes and perhaps some inches and body fat?  I recently wrote an article for the Belmont Citizen's Herald about some tips on how to work on your nutrition and fitness in a healthy way.

A bit of confusion on the High energy snacks/meals section...the choices below should be one or the other not all the foods listed for one snack...unless you plan to do a full day fitness activity and have plenty of time to digest before begin!

High-energy snacks/meals

Pre-workout snack  15 to 30 minutes, low fat yogurt, OR half a banana, OR diluted fruit juice, or graham crackers

Meal Two to three hours pre-workout, oatmeal with skim milk, OR slice of whole grain toast with 1 Tablespoon of natural peanut butter, OR whole grain pancakes with no sugar applesauce, or sweet potato with low fat cottage cheese

Post workout snack Low fat milk or soymilk (whole soy), OR half natural peanut butter and jelly (no HFCS) on whole grain bread, OR 1 ounce trail mix (unsalted nuts with dried fruit), or hard-boiled egg and piece of fruit.

These quickies will work until you have time for a full meal of complex carbs, lean protein and healthy fat.
