I'm starting a life style change this year. I have my BODYBUGG, I bought a food scale, I have the spin bike in the living room, and my Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, Biggest Loser Cardio Max, & Power Sculpt.
The Bodybugg tracks how many calories I burn during the day. You wear it 23 hours a day. With the bugg, the online program allows you to input your caloric intake. It then tells you how many more calories you need to burn & how many more calories you can eat for the day.
I love this food scale. I got it from William Sonoma. You can place your bowl on the scale and zero out the "measurement" and then it measures your liquid or chicken without including your bowl. The food scale allows me to CONTROL my portions.

This is for one serving. You can double it, stick it in the freezer and enjoy the other half later.
To measure, place your blender on the scale, and zero it out. You can use 4 fruits of your choice. Freeze the fruits or buy them flash frozen. Purple fruits are great! Such as the Acai juice (it helps with weight loss), blueberries, blackberries... You can use frozen dark cherries, bananas, strawberries, peaches...
2 ounces of skim milk (or soy milk)
2 ounces of Acai Juice
2 ounces frozen banana
2 ounces frozen strawberries
2 ounces frozen blueberie
2 ounces frozen peaches
Start at the lowest speed and slowly accelerate to medium, until you achieve a vortex. Blend on medium for 1 minute. Increase the speed to high and blend for an additional minute. Serve immediately.
Lunch
Alton Brown uses sardines, but I'll be using chicken. I measure out 3 ounces of chicken. In the skillet, I add some EVOO, 1 TBsp worchestershire sauce, 1 TBsp low sodium soy sauce. Cook in skillet. Then in another skillet, add some EVOO and brown a piece of sourdough bread. Take half and avacado and mush it up like you would a baked potato. Spoon it onto the bread and add the chicken. (I bet some fresh tomatos would be good as well).
