Dieting Tips featuring Giveaway of 6 mo. popchips & Signed Jillian Michael’s Book

A group of bloggers and I got together to do a fun blog hop centered around our New Year’s Resolutions featuring giveaways centered around our goals.  You are the lucky one because my goal centers around food, exercise, and lifestyle.  I’m choosing to get #Fabin13 and my Fabulous Transformation (click to join the support group) includes popchips and Jillian Michaels!

This year I’m putting away the potato chips and corn chips and picking up popchips when I need a snack.  Up until this month I had never tried a popchip, ever.  No one believed me and everyone told me I was totally missing out so my new friend Sara sent me some to try and I fell in love.  Out went all the baked chips and pretzels and in came the all natural popchips!

Popchips

My New Year’s Resolutions:

  • Get up and move!
  • Eat right!
  • Drink plenty of water!

I don’t ask for much.

Jillian Michaels, expert, celebrity nutritionist and author, was kind enough to share her simple rules to help me (and you) stick to our diets and shed our unwanted pounds so that we can all be Fabulous!

Jillian’s Dieting Tips

1)      make a resolution…and keep it. resolutions shouldn’t be something you wait for so this new year, resolve to do it and resolve to start now!

2)      it’s all about balance. eating three balanced meals (every four hours) with a snack between lunch and dinner is key.  reach for a healthier snack like carrot sticks and hummus, fresh fruit, or curb salty cravings with tasty snacks such as popchips or almonds and dried cranberries.

3)      just because it’s not fried, doesn’t mean it’s not delicious!   this holiday season, if you are in the mood to nosh, replace fried potato chips with a healthier alternative that still will satisfy that salty crave.   popchips are a great and my favorite snack option! they taste delicious and have less than half the fat of fried chips and only 100 calories in the single serve bag.

4)      grab a buddy.  it’s a fact that you will achieve greater success when you have the support of those closest to you.  so get your friends together to support each other in being healthier in 2013. 

5)      create healthier alternatives to your favorite fried foods. opt for cooking methods that use little or no fat such as steaming, grilling, baking, popping, broiling or roasting.  you can still make these items taste great with the right seasoning!  have a weakness for fried chicken?  instead take skinless chicken breast cutlets, cover them in egg whites and a crushed up cereal like cornflakes, and bake.  same great taste and more than half the calories and fat.
