Did You Eat Breakfast?

I just came back from doing a morning workshop on healthy eating "on the go". How healthy are your meals? Are you eating regularly throughout the day? It's so essential to start your day with a healthy, nutritious breakfast. It really gets your body going after a long night of fasting. You should try to include protein at every meal; breakfast included. I don't mean greasy sausages or bacon, but instead, some nut butter on your whole grain toast, or some boiled eggs. Breakfast is your first opportunity to eat well in the day, so make sure to include some form of fruit as well. Aim for at least 5 servings a day of fruits and veggies. Enjoy your morning!

Little Changes Make Big Changes

Have you ever wondered what would happened if you suddenly stopped eating out of habit? Do you find yourself nibbling on food when you're not even hungry? What would happen if you simply stopped? We fall into these snack traps where we find ourselves eating for comfort, or even out of boredom. Why not stop yourself in your tracks? Mindless munching gets you nowhere...good that is. It will help you gain weight and see less results than you'd like even after hard workouts day after day. How to stop: Eat at regular intervals throughout the day to stave off hunger, and make sure you're hydrated. When you're thirsty, you may mistake that for hunger and eat instead of drink. Drink water regularly Don't buy junk! If it's not in your house, you probably won't be eating it. Stay focussed: what are your goals? Write it down. Keep a food diary. Good luck and stop the mindless munching!
