Making over your eating habits starts in your kitchen. So clean out those cabinets!Start by clearing out any processed or highly refined products such as packaged sweets, white bread, white rice, potato chips…etc. Swap out these items for fiber rich whole grains such as brown rice and quinoa, and sprouted whole grain bread. Stock up your refrigerator with lean meats like grass-fed, free range chicken or turkey, wild or responsibly farmed fish. When you “swap out” unhealthy food for healthier options you are more likely to stay on track with your healthy lifestyle.
Outta sight, outta mind! 🙂
Step 2. Plan Ahead Shop Smart
Buying seasonal, local fresh fruits and vegetables will save you money and offer top nutritional value and taste!
In the spring, stock up on foods such as:
- Dark Leafy Greens (Bokchoy, Spinach, Kale)
- Strawberries
- Avocados
- Beets
- Sweet Potatoes

A detox is an awesome way to reset, reboot and introduce healthy eating habits, such as portion control.There are a variety of cleanses from 3 day juice cleanses to 10 day detoxes. I recommend a 10 day detox as a powerful jumpstart to set healthier habits in motion.Here is the link with more information about the Tara Liz Healthy Steps Reset Detox…http://taralizhealthystepsforward.com/healthy-steps-reset-detox-cleanse.html


Immediately start your day with protein first to rev up your metabolism. Adding in lean protein to most of your meals and snacks will also keep you feeling full and energized. For example, add protein powder to your smoothie, eat hard boiled eggs for a snack or Greek yogurt with chia seeds and berries.

Healthy fat will help you burn body fat! Choosing the right ones are key. For example stay away from trans fat, the highly refined kind found in margarine, processed cakes/cookies..etc. Instead choose nuts, avocados, nut butters, chia seeds, olive or coconut oil and wild caught fresh salmon.

Greens are loaded with essential nutrients and vitamins. Green smoothies and juices are one of the best ways to cleanse your body, boost immunity, improve digestion, de-bloat and increase your daily fruit and veggie intake. I recommend throwing in greens in your morning smoothie or adding it into your post workout shake.Here is a link to my website with a complimentary smoothie guide:www.healthystepsforward.com
Have a happy, healthy, cleansing spring!
