Stay-at-home strategies for
your best body
You know that diet and exercise are important when it
comes to creating your best body, but you may be
overlooking other techniques for getting into the best
shape. Even while stuck at home!
Try out the following 13 simple habits and watch as your
body transforms.

1. Eat a Smart Breakfast.
   Most people load up on carbohydrates and simple sugars
   for breakfast. Cereal, pastries, smoothies and juice are all
   poor choices when it comes to starting your day off right.
   Center your breakfast around protein and healthy fat, and
   you’ll have energy for hours. Try a protein shake, eggs, lean
   breakfast meat, or a handful of nuts.
2. Get More Sleep.
   If you’re not getting at least 8 hours of sleep each night
   then you could use more sleep. This is especially true if
   you’ve reached a plateau with weight loss. Give your body
   the 8 hours of sleep each night and make weight loss
   easier.
3. Just Do It.
   If you’re really ready to achieve your best body ever, then
   dig down deep and commit. As Woody Allen famously said,
   “80% of success is showing up.” This is absolutely true
   when it comes to fitness. Show up to your workout. Even if
   you’re tired. Even if you’d rather be doing something else.
   Just do it.
4. Plan Ahead.
   Take one day each week to plan your healthy meals for the
   following week. You don’t have to do all the shopping and
   cooking on that day, simply jot down what you plan to eat.
   This small act of planning ahead will keep you on track with
   healthy meals even when the week gets crazy busy.
   
5. Cut Out Gluten.
   Many people don’t realize that they have a certain level of
   sensitivity to gluten, which causes intestinal inflammation
   and bloating. Also, gluten-filled foods are typically high in
   carbohydrates, which contribute to weight gain. When you
   cut gluten-filled items from your diet don’t fall into the trap
   of simply replacing those items with other high-carb items.
   Choose non-packaged, whole foods instead.
6. Believe In Yourself.
   Do you believe that you have what it takes to transform
   your body? If you want to succeed in weight loss then you
   have to believe that it’s possible. Give yourself a pep talk
   and dig down deep for the courage and discipline to apply
   these healthy changes to your life.
7. Eat Less Dairy.
   Dairy products like cheese or cream add extra fat and
   calories to your meals. Pass on the dairy and you’ll
   eliminate unnecessary calories, making weight loss quicker.
8. Sleep and Wake at the Same Time.
   This tip sounds so simple, and yet it’s a powerful way to increase your daily energy. Get your body on a schedule
   and watch how much more productive and energetic you become.
9. Include Veggies at Every Meal.
   Most people aren’t too crazy about vegetables, and
   probably eat less than they should. Make it a point to
   include a vegetable with each of your meals – even
   breakfast. The increase in fiber and other nutrients will give
   your body that extra boost that you’re looking for.
10. Ditch Packaged Food.
    Throw out those packaged foods! This is one of the easiest
    things you can do to achieve quicker weight loss results.
    Packaged foods contain chemicals and additives that will
    slow your fitness results.
11. Drink More Water.
    Being hydrated is key when it comes to creating your best
    body. Drink water throughout your day and limit caffeinated
    beverages to once daily.
12. Forget Artificial Sweeteners.
    Sure, these sweeteners don’t contain calories, but they are
    known to increase your appetite and cravings for
    carbohydrates. In the quest for your best body, put down
    the diet soda and reach instead for some water.
13. Exercise With a Pro.
    Are you exercising as efficiently as possible? Do you
    challenge your muscles enough during each workout? Are
    you keeping the routine new and fresh? These are all
    factors that will be taken care of for you when you work
    with a trained fitness professional. Working with a pro ensures that you make the most of your exercise time.
    So there you have it, 13 tips that will take your results up a notch.
