THE 101 ON EATING HEALTHY 

{for a healthier you or to lose weight}

 

* Drink half your weight in water*

~did you know that most people don't even drink more than 8oz in ONE day? so someone who is 120 pounds should be drinking 60oz of water a day. Research shows this not only hydrates you, makes your skin look healthier, but also makes you eat less through out the day~

~did you know that adding lemon to your water can help kill your cravings for sweets? Lemons carry the appetite suppressant PECTIN...so squeeze that lemon into your eight glasses a day ;) ~
