Tips for getting leaner......

1. Include protein at every meal, it will keep you satisfied for so much longer than carbs alone.  If you eat a piece of fruit, be sure to include protein as well....cottage cheese, greek yogurt, chicken, nuts, something that will keep your blood sugar stable, and keep you going for a long time:)

2.  Drink more water than you think you need!  Much of the time, we think that we are hungry, when in fact we are dehydrated.  Drink at minimum 8 ounces of water before every meal, and your appetite will diminish greatly.  I keep a little container of lime juice around which I add to my water, and it makes it so much easier to drink.  A touch of cranberry juice does the same thing.
