• Cut down sugars and unnecessary carbs from the diet especially in the evenings.
• Cleanse and detox your system. Detox by drinking enough water and eating plenty of fruits and veggies.
Start your day with a glass of water and lemon.
• Eat at regular intervals. Eating small frequent meals throughout the day increases your body's metabolism.
• Get ready to sweat. Exercise increases metabolism, helps burn extra fat, and clear extra fluids and toxins from the body.
• Destress. Stress makes you retain fluid and makes you feel constantly bloated. Get good sleep and try and meditate.

QUINOA: THE SUPER GRAIN !!!
This super grain is small but mighty.
It is a whole grain that is a complete protein and packs in your daily dose of vitamin B6, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and potassium, all in that tiny little package.
Add quinoa to salads to enhance its nutritive value!!!

HEALTH TIP
Do NOT skip meals !!!
When you skip meals your metabolism slows down and you do not burn calories like you should. Your body thinks that you are starving. So when you eat again, your body stores away more than usual resulting in MORE fat.
