8. Try some new fruits and vegetables. Pick something exotic to get your family’s curiosity. With a little luck their curiosity will outweigh their initial apprehension to trying something new. You could try artichokes, plantains, papaya, mango, star fruit, or anything else you can find in the produce department of your local store. #coachradcliffejason #trysomethingneweveryday (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEV4uGwnz7_/?igshid=5mzds3m03lpg

7. Offer fruits and vegetables as snacks. You can cut apples into slices and top them with peanut butter or cheese. Cube cheese and serve with grapes. Cut up some fresh veggies and serve them with ranch dip. And of course there’s ants on a log. Spread some cream cheese or peanut butter on the inside of a stick of celery and sprinkle raisins on it (wow, fruit and vegetable in one snack). #coachradcliffejason #snackonfruitsandveggies (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVx2qqpQyx/?igshid=yxcyxpzfi294

6. Try this for dessert. Put a small scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt in a bowl and top it with lots of fresh or frozen fruit. #coachradcliffejason #icecreamwithfruits (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVq_bVg2qm/?igshid=9tjx8vgykfwr

5. Let them drink their fruits and vegetables. Keep an assortment of fruit and vegetable juices in the fridge and encourage everyone to drink them as a snack. Get creative. You could start “family cocktail hour” by pouring everybody a glass of his or her favorite juice over ice. Add some straws, cocktail umbrellas and sit together to talk about how everybody’s day went. #coachradcliffejason #juicing (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVkIR9nRbx/?igshid=7ysy73bp5esv

4. Have a salad bar at dinner. Set out a variety of chopped vegetables, some cheese and croutons as well as several choices of salad dressing along with the lettuce and let everybody create their own perfect salad. #coachradcliffejason #saladfordinner (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVdQJMjvMN/?igshid=1qzabslya3btg

3. Add some fruits and vegetables to your family’s sandwiches. You can add some banana, sliced apples or strawberry slices to a peanut butter sandwich. Top a turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and anything else they will eat. You can even make a sub shop style vegetable sandwich by combining several different vegetables with some mayonnaise and cheese on bread. #coachradcliffejason #eatmoreveggies (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVWY6nnxXk/?igshid=1uq83g3bz0tig

2. Dried fruit makes an excellent snack any time of the day. Add some small cartons of raisins to your child’s lunch box, pack some yogurt-covered raisins in your husband’s briefcase and keep some trail mix sitting around for snacking. You can also add dried fruit to oatmeal and cereal in the morning. My family loves banana chips in their breakfast cereal. #coachradcliffejason #driedfruitsnacks (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVPhPhptTH/?igshid=wkvfpgelme92

We all know by now that we should be eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. But knowing and doing are two different things, aren’t they? Sometimes it is just not easy to get them all in there. We are constantly tempted to fill up on convenience and junk food. If your family would much rather fill up on a bag of chips or a bowl of rice or pasta instead of trying an apple or a plate of steamed broccoli. We’ll have to get creative. Here are a few ideas to “sneak” some extra vegetables and fruits in your family’s diet. 1. Start the day with a breakfast smoothie. All you have to do is throw some fruits, low-fat yogurt and ice in a blender. You may also want to add a scoop of protein powder in there for good measure. Just blend for a few seconds and you have the perfect breakfast ready to go. To make it even more appealing for your kids, use some frozen yogurt or a scoop of ice cream in the smoothie. They won’t believe that you are letting them have ice cream for breakfast. #coachradcliffejason #smootiesforbreakfast (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVIqDDn9Ws/?igshid=19lmzpzntdhbo

All work and no play makes Jack a dull (and very tired) boy. Do choose a day to relax a week. No exercise on that day. Pat yourself on the back and reward yourself for passing another grueling week. After all, your body needs to recover too. #coachradcliffejason #relaxingtime (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CETGn7bHLpQ/?igshid=1h6rhwxw0ycbh

growth requires discipline. the discipline to do what needs to be done and the discipline to not do what shouldn't be done. #coachradcliffejason #qouteoftheday (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CERdVNdnSAT/?igshid=opm3u9mi0cd9

As a nice little side benefit, losing weight will make you look better, and who doesn’t want to look better? Each and every one of us has a vision of what we want to look like. Most people are not completely satisfied with the way they look. They will always find something they don’t like about themselves and wish they could change and for people who are overweight; this can be a great motivator to lose weight. A recent study concluded that as early as age 5, girls who had higher body weights had lower self esteem than girls with normal body weight. #coachradcliffejason #loseweightlookyoungfeelgreat (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CERPmR6HODy/?igshid=1f3fqwgtdehwn

Another reason you might want to consider losing weight is that you will feel better. As you begin to lose some of those extra pounds, you will start to notice your energy levels increasing. Being overweight by 20 pounds is like putting a 20-pound sack of potatoes on your shoulders all day. Extra body fat is nothing more than an extra burden to carry around with you everyday, so the extra weight drains your energy. For this reason, overweight people tend to be less active and this promotes more fat to collect up on them. As this continues, they become even less active and so this becomes a vicious cycle leading to obesity. #coachradcliffejason #loseweightfeelgreat (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CERIvGiFDWE/?igshid=ue0xrxls79ym

First and foremost, losing weight means getting healthier. When you lose those extra pounds you greatly reduce the risk or heart disease, stroke, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and joint stress, all conditions associated with being overweight. When you reduce these risks, it means you can have a much better chance of being around to see your children grow up and being around to enjoy your grandchildren. That alone is reason enough to get that weight down. #coachradcliffejason #loseweighttobehealthy (at Alpha Nutrition Fit Club & Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CERB3qan9C5/?igshid=1vur316sr2jmc
