Losing weight in Cambridge can be difficult – so many delicious options to try, so many students eating irresponsibly all around you. Callie Durbrow of Durbrow Performance Personal Training says that losing weight in Cambridge is possible, and she has some ideas on how to overcome that particular difficulty with aplomb. Ready to feel your best and achieve your goals? It all starts in the kitchen.
Durbrow has provided some great foods, refreshments, and preparation ideas below that should keep you eating well and enjoying appetizing fare at the same time. First and foremost – it’s critically imperative to eat at home. Easier said than done to some – hard schedules can make it difficulty to prep and manage normal home meals.
Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt is a yummy and wholesome snack for any time of day. A personal favorite is the greek yogurt pre-paired with honey. You can find this in any grocery store. Pair your greek yogurt with fresh cut strawberries and a hot beverage for a delicious daily breakfast.
Fruits and veggies – These are an absolutely vital part of any losing weight journey. The bonus: you can usually eat as many fruits and vegetables as you desire! There are numerous ways to keep these basics interesting – make a fruit salad, smoothie, delicious salad, or a stir fry. Always keep fruits and veggies in your bag when you go out – that way, when you get those mid-day munchies, you’ll turn to the right ingredients.
Skinless boneless chicken breast – This ingredient can be your best friend on your eating to good health journey. Chicken can be prepared so many ways – baked, boiled, sautéed to name a few – that it never gets old. Try making a stir fry or slicing it up to include it in some delicious homemade chicken noodle soup. On the go? Throw your chicken in a crock pot with some veggies and chicken broth in the morning, and voila! Instant dinner in the evening! If you’re working on losing weight in Cambridge and don’t have time to do the prep, there are often healthy options in local restaurants and coffee shops that use free-range skinless boneless chicken breasts.
Almonds – Almonds are a great snack to keep on hand for those inevitable moments when you feel the munchies coming on. Although the nuts do have a good amount of fat,, it is the good fat that your body can cleanly burn. If you want to find losing weight in Cambridge, eat some almonds on the way to work out with Callie Durbrow!
Water – Water intake is absolutely a must. Eight glasses a day is vital; if you can do more, it’s a huge benefit. Water cleans out your system, clears your skin, and in general just makes you feel great. Be sure to drink the correct amount of water during strenuous activities such as working out or hiking. You’ll feel better.
Look to the foods that you enjoy that aren’t as healthy and think about how you can alter them. Also, don’t lock yourself down in one very strict diet – that’s the best way to get depressed and give up. Eating healthy is all about balance. It’s hard work, but so worth it in the end.
Callie Durbrow is a personal trainer that has proved time and again her ability to promote weight loss in Cambridge. She helps local residents looking to tone up, lose fat, and feel energized.
