PROTEIN It's one of the top food groups you need. Forget the pyramid! (in my opinion) For general health, make sure you get at LEAST half (50%) your body weight in grams of protein .   EXAMPLE: If you weigh 200 lbs, then get 100 grams a day for over all health. That's about 34 grams of protein per meal (3 meals). If you want to convert your body from fat storing to fat burning then try 3/4 (75%) of your body weight in grams of protein .  EXAMPLE: If you weigh 200 lbs, then get 175 grams a day for over all health. That's about 58 grams of protein per meal (3 meals).    If you want to build muscle and you lift regularly (please consult physician before starting this on your own) then try the total (100%) pounds of your body weight in grams of protein .  EXAMPLE: If you weigh 200 lbs, then get 200 grams a day for over all health. That's about 67 grams of protein per meal (3 meals) or 50 grams in 4 meals.   (info from Dr. Axe: http://youtu.be/VFSad9Bq...

They say you are what you eat! These are healthy and takes work to get. I'm burning calories!  Lol. I realized I ate less by eating nuts this way. Plus I had fun watching my kids try it. It was great to teach them to learn then nuts shell! Hope you have a very merry Christmas!!

Well here I am ready to add fitness to my healthy lifestyle for life, for my life! This is a weakness because we travel, I school my four kids in four different grades, I am the coordinator of two very large member organizations supporting hundreds of people around the clock, in addition to being a full time missionary, and then of course my priority is supporting my husband in all he does.  So, I now I can fit in 20-30 min a day of ACTIVE HEALTH into the whole mix, can't I?  I need the support and help and encouragement that I give so many. This is NEW too! To ask for help! It is something I am not used to doing and so NOW, now is the season where I get REAL and say, HELP! I know with my successful eating lifestyle that lead to a 100 pound loss and keeping off 90 pounds was only possible through SUPPORT and accountability. Fitness and activity will need to be the same! I am a former highschool and college athlete so I've been there, in great shape and I want to...
