Be prepared with Healthy Meals

Try to always be prepared. By having healthy, well-balanced meals already prepared and ready to eat, it becomes much, much easier to stay focused on reaching your goals. And try to keep healthy, effective snacks in convenient places, such as your desk drawer, glove compartment, gym bag, etc.

A strategy that works very well for me is what I call my "Sunday/Wednesday Preparation." This is where I'd actually cook and prepare all my foods and snacks for the next 3-4 days, usually on Sunday and Wednesday. I'd bake or grill all my lean meats, such as fish and chicken, for the planned recipes (e.g., Fajitas, Chicken & Spinach Salad, Fish Tacos, etc.).

I'd cut up all the vegetables for my daily salads, bake a few yams and potatoes, hard-boil a dozen eggs, and so on. This way, on Monday morning before work, I could easily put together all the meals for the day and have them ready to eat as soon as I was hungry.

I'd also get all my snacks ready and put them in convenient places that I'd be throughout the day, such as at desk, the glove compartment in my car, gym bag, etc. For example, I’ll cut up vegetables and put them in zip lock bags, put peanut butter, cottage cheese, and/or humus in small containers, etc. This way I'd always have a healthy, convenient snack ready to eat when I started to feel hungry, which kept my energy level up, metabolism working more efficiently, and prevented me getting so hungry that I lost control and made unwise food choices and/or overate.

By having your meals and snacks already prepared and ready to eat, it is simply much, much easier to stay on track to reaching your goals. This advanced preparation strategy was absolutely critical to my success and the success of many GHF members - and I think it will be for you too.
