Tone it up Tuesday!

So, its the beginning of the year when the gyms are be crowded and plenty of women are talking about diets...but ladies... ladies...being healthy & fit is a lifestyle...not a season nor done in a cram session its the way you live your life.  Eat clean & live happy... 
Here is some useful information to know compliments of K&K from the Tone it Up team.


Where are the harsh chemicals hidden? Diet coke and most diet sodas, most flavored waters (unless all natural), splenda packets when you get your coffee, boxed 'diet' foods, non-organic yogurt (which is loaded, by the way), sugar-free coffee creamers, some 'protein bars' and some protein powders that aren't organic. You should be able to pronounce all ingredients on the side of your packaging. This is SO important. You're now asking, well what do I eat!? Ask us anytime, but stick to real food that is LEAN & CLEAN.
What do we drink instead of soda? A nice glass of water will do. We like adding crushed fresh fruit to our water. Instead of splenda in your coffee, add some all natural honey or 1 natural sugar packet. YES, we want you to have calories instead of chemicals. You're abs and body will thank us later. What about yogurt? Instead of the non-organic yogurts, grab an all natural kind, like 0%-1% Chobani, Fage, or Stonyfield Greek yogurt~ they're loaded with protein too!
And speaking of protein... protein never upset anyone's stomach. If you're eating lean, clean protein, you will not get gassy or bloated. Why do some protein powders cause this? It's not the protein, but the chemicals that are in them to mask the taste. We like organic, sprouted brown rice protein. We've fallen victim to the protein powders before, so check your labels and don't make our mistake too.
