If there’s one thing I coach my clients about successful weight loss, it’s the importance of setting a realistic goal when it comes to healthy eating. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, what better time to give yourself the gift of a leaner, fit body?

By following the simple, proven tips below, you can quickly achieve the toned body you have always desired, with no strict rules to follow or killer workouts to endure.

My clients are always amazed just how easy it can be…now it’s your turn!

1) Eat a Hormonally Balanced Breakfast

Sorry folks, but a latte and bagel on-the-go isn’t healthy eating. How come? Many people experience a certain degree of carbohydrate sensitivity due to the over-consumption of refined foods, including starchy bagels, muffins and sugar-laden coffee drinks.

Sure, you might experience an instant pick-me-up, but eventually your sugar-high turns into a major-low, leaving you fatigued, foggy and craving more quick-carbs to keep you going.

A hormonally balanced breakfast is really quite simple:

  • Contains a slow-burning carbohydrate such as 100% whole wheat or rye toast
  • A healthy fat – such as organic almond, hemp or peanut butter
  • Lean protein – a scoop of protein powder in yogurt, or an egg omelet
Morning shakes and smoothies are also excellent, easy breakfast options. (<a href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-220311025/stock-photo-blueberries-with-yogurt.html?src=csl_recent_image-2&ws=1" target="_blank">Shutterstock</a>)
