G. Goal Number 5

Goal number 5 is to include a protein, carb and fat into each of your 3 main meals. It's actually pretty easy to do when you know what foods are in each category. I listed quickly the foods in each category in the previous post called Protein, carbs and fat. Your blood sugar levels love when you add some of each category to your meals. It takes longer for your body to break down a protein than it does a carbohydrate so that's one reason to add protein to your meals. Another reason is that proteins are the building blocks of our bodies; I'm sure you heard that in school!

How are you doing adding in a protein, carb and fat to each meal? Go easy on adding in extra the fat because fats occur naturally in meats and eggs and nuts. What I like is extra virgin olive oil. It is one of the "good" fats because it helps lower cholesterol if you go easy with it. Use it on a salad with balsamic vinegar! Yum!

So this goal is to just add in those three components. How are you doing?
