Midsummer Light

It's not too late! You know how some summers have been filled with lofty plans including getting into bikini shape? Well, don't let this summer be like the last one, you still have time!

"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.
