My client/ friend just sent me this. She took her picture for the New Years 6 week challenge and shocked even herself (this is why pictures are so important!)!

Need some inspiration on meal prep “best practices?" We’ve got you!

Meal prep is a GREAT way to plan ahead, save time during the week, and make sure you get all of your macros in for the day. We LOVE meal prep here in the FASTer Way community-- so we’re sharing some of our favorite tips and tricks with you to make meal prep a breeze.

MEAL PREP BEST PRACTICES:
📥 Make sure you have enough containers on hand to store your meals for the week. Glass containers are a great option so you can take them right from the refrigerator to the microwave to reheat.

🔪 Chop and measure all your ingredients before you start (this is a HUGE time saver!) If you’re really short on time, shop the produce department for pre-cut veggies.

🍗 Prepare a large batch of protein of your choice at the beginning of the week and use as needed -- try chicken breast, ground turkey or lean ground beef, season as desired, cook, and store in the fridge for 4-5 days. Use cooked meat in a variety of dishes throughout the week!

🍚 Cook up a big pot of brown rice to keep on hand and use as needed.

💡 Ready to put these tips to practice?! Join us for our next round of FASTer Way to Fat Loss starting THIS Monday June 29! Register today! https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/

Let’s talk Fiber! One of the many reasons to get your fruits and veggies in!

Fiber does a lot of important things in the body, which means it’s important to eat enough of it every day!

Here’s the 411 on fiber:
🍆 it’s a non-digestible carbohydrate
🌽 it’s classified as soluble (dissolves in water and feeds our “good” gut bacteria) and insoluble (does not dissolve in water)
🍠 it can reduce blood sugar spikes after a high-carb meal
🍅 it can reduce cholesterol
🍒 it can reduce constipation
🍌 it may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer
🍊 it’s good for digestion and the gut!

When it comes to fiber, some of the best bang-for-your-buck fruits include:
pears 🍐
strawberries 🍓
avocados 🥑
apples 🍎
bananas 🍌

So eat up, enjoy those carbs, and get more fiber -- your body will thank you!!

Nothing will change unless you do!

Lets get to work and start feeling and looking our best by the 4th of July!

We start June 1st with a new client experience designed to accelerate your results!
