BEAT mindless snacking ... and OVER EATING

I want you to eat every four hours ― breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. This way of eating keeps your stomach from rumbling and your metabolism happy. Starve yourself for any portion of the day and you cheat yourself out of a bump in your metabolic rate. When you first start to eat every four hours, you might find that you're not very hungry when the four hours are up. But that's the idea ― you don't want to be famished by the time you eat again. You want to head off extreme hunger, which is a signal that your blood sugar has dipped too low and will lead to cravings and overeating. JM

As the fall and winter sneak up on us and our schedules become bombarded with the holidays, football games and children's activities it's important to be prepared. When I speak of being prepared I mean carrying some back up snacks with you at all time everyday put some fresh veggies, fruit or cheese sticks in your purse so that it's always at hand when hunger hits. You can also stash some granola bars, trail mix or mixed nuts in your car, your office and anywhere else you spend time. When you have a great plan in place it is easy to beat the urge for those nachos at the game, the McDonalds drive thru and the gas station candy bars. It's easy to succeed when you have your plan in place and your goal in sight. You have worked way to hard for to long to let little slip ups add up and defeat you so get out there and get prepared to rule your life. Happy Snacking!!
