Try this zucchini pizza recipe. It satisfies a pizza craving but it is delicious and low in calories and carbohydrates. I made it tonight and it was fantastic! (See recipe in comments)
Make exercise simple and move everyday! Exercise doesn't require a fancy gym membership, just 10 minutes per/day of strength yoga flow or bootcamp can help you get into a healthy exercise habit. Move every day and don't get bogged down in busyness - we all have commitments but we all must take care of our bodies in order to be the healthiest and most effective versions of ourselves. Two suggestions: 1) use this yoga app for excellent short yoga flows: The Yoga Studio by GAIAM 2) do a 10 minute bootcamp first thing in the morning (see sample in comments)
Healthy eaters Don't skip meals! Your metabolism functions best on 3 meals and healthy snacks through out the day.
Healthy eating habits: Eat protein and vegetables for breakfast to start your metabolism on the right foot. Sample: baked eggs (4 eggs, zucchini, kale, 1/2 c of cottage cheese, tomatoes, red pepper s&p). Mix all ingredients in a baking dish and bake for 30min at 350F. I mix it the night before and put it in the oven to bake while I'm getting ready.
