| "Still time to get in summer shape!" |
Along with MaZi's amazing classes, you must feed your body the GOOD STUFF! Summer is all about impromptu gatherings and socializing so don't make yourself crazy by having a strict diet, just try to eliminate the NOT SO GOOD STUFF (we still budget in a 3-5 glasses of wine/low-sugar cocktails, it's summer after all!).
GOOD STUFF
Eat: Avocados, berries, nuts, nut butters, almond milk, apples, pears, berries, watermelon, turkey, chicken, pork tenderloin, fish, shrimp, crabmeat, beef filet, eggs, egg whites, all natural bars; Kind, Larabar,Mark Bars, all veggies (use starchy veggies sparingly), all beans, extra protein (whey powder), legumes, leafy greens, quinoa, low-fat dairy like Fage yogurt, hummus, herbal tea, spices, dark chocolate, coffee.
NOT SO GOOD STUFF (read the labels!)
Avoid: Alcohol (esp. mixes), Sugar, Yeast, fruit juice, baked goods (including Glazed!) high-sugar fruits & granola, fried foods, high-fructose corn syrup, sugary yogurts, processed foods, white bread, pasta & rice, soy products, soda, fruit juices, added dressings, added oils, added salt, non-fat fillers, i.e. foods that are artificially made lower in fat that add junk.
Try eating mostly from the GOOD STUFF list for up to 6 days/week for a change in habits and eating preferences. It's summer, have fun, having 1 or 2 "naughty" meals won't kill your hard work. For a customized meal plan, please contact MaZi Solutions at mazidancefitness@gmail.com.
