Chic-Shuk Secrets

It`s about time I`ll dedicate a post to write about my favorite weight watcher lunch meal- my best diet savor. I wont lie, that lunch box does have a very small portion of food however, it`s the exact amount of food my body needs, and you simply make your stomach shrink and get used to it fast, while dieting or watching your weight on a daily base, especially if planning on having a decent dinner later on that day.  Yes, I`m talking about Lean Cuisine brand. With the average of 300-400 calories and 8 grams of fat per box, I get to microwave a fresh, restaurant tasteful dish, with so many versions to choose from, it is absolutely impossible not to find some great versions you like! Those are the meals I like the best after trying almost every Lean-Cuisine dish available out there… and really, these are my favorite ones which I recommend at least trying: (by they way, did I mention they only cost 2 to 3 dollars a box?!?! not just a diet savor, ha?!)  ENJOY!!! 

• Chicken with Basil Cream Sauce

• Chicken Carbonara

•  Sesame Chicken

• Orange Peel Chicken

• Chicken Parmesan

• Lemon Chicken

• Alfredo Pasta with Chicken & Broccoli

• Meatloaf and Whipped Potatoes

• Lasagna with Meat Sauce

As a healthy lifestyle fan, while weight watching and dieting, I used to wonder many times wether to choose low fat foods that have extra calories, or go for the less calories products, that often contains higher grams of fat. I have recentely learnd that each gram of fat is basically dissolving to 9 calories once congest in our system, therefore, when it comes to making a smart choice, as simple as math can get, if a product contains 100 calories “only”, but has 5 grams of fat per serving, it means that you get to eat 100 + ( 9×5 )= 100 + 45 = 145 calories overall!  Pay attention to how many grams of fat there is in the foods you buy and eat, since calories are easier to burn, and since eventually fat becomes calories! 

It is scary how all that work stress can effect our health and our waistline, even if we don’t eat more then usual. Chronically stress can majorly increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. More then that- The darkest secret of stress when it comes to your weight watching lifestyle routine or, in different words- why do you gain weight from being stressed without eating more then usual? Apparently, A long term stress can increase levels of Cortisol, which is a hormone that promotes the storage of belly fat and is the main reason of why you can get fat and gain weight without eating more then usual.

Don’t let your job making you fat, and try to calm the non so healthy stress by after hours Yoga or Meditation, which are  beyond cutting stress have shown many health benefits and been considered to be natural cures to improve heart health, lower bad cholesterol, reduce migraines, bolster the immunity, lessen depression and fight pain symptoms.
