Day 3 Tips: Being active and being inspired ; discovering autumn notes

Here are some ways to build and maintain energy as you dive deeper into your autumn weight loss journey:

Experiment with Complex Carbohydrates: These include whole grains, sweet potatoes, and squash which are known to give you that lasting energy you need to get through the day and keep the cravings under check. Including these in your meals adds a steady fuel source that doesn’t lead to sugar crashes.

Prioritize Protein: Lean protein is useful in muscle building and muscle repair if maybe you are exercising. What you need to strive for is to always eat foods rich in this nutrient, for instances, lentils, chickpeas, lean meat.

Try a New Spice or Ingredient: A pinch of turmeric, a small piece of ginger, or even a pinch of cardamom to dishes can make the dish more interesting, and help to reduce inflammation in the body.

Set a Small Challenge for Yourself: Here is a simple one for today: try to steer clear of the added sugars/unnecessary processed foods. But the ideal foods should have their flavors derived from the herbs, spices and the foods that are in season.
