Eat to Be Skinny: The Perfect Salad Formula

You’ve either heard this statement before or it may surprise you and come off as obnoxious. Either way, it’s important to understand because it’s true.

Eat to be skinny.  Workout to be fit.

In America, 68% of the population is overweight and while being super skinny isn’t attractive, being healthy is.  I met with Nutritionist, Dara Godfrey, to chat about a healthy eating outlook and the truth behind how to properly eat a salad (yes, there’s a formula).

Advice from a Top Nutritionist

Last week I met with nutritionist, Dara Godfrey, and got to pick her brain.  I’m a huge foodie, but am also obsessed with working out and wellness.  It was great to sit down with Dara and get some advice not only on what to eat, but more importantly on how to eat it.  Allow me to share:

“If you eat every three to four hours throughout the day it will prevent you from over eating,” stated Dara.  ”Unless of course, you’re not hungry.”

Try having three meals and two snacks in between per day. Depending on your needs (every one’s different), meals can be between 350-500 calories each and snacks can be almost 200. Dara’s not huge on counting calories and believes you should enjoy your food, but know your portions.  (That’s why I love her!)
