Fitness for Mind, Body and Spirit

You've heard it before..but does it really work? Can eating more help you to loose weight? The answer is "yes!" Eating five or six smaller meals or having a snack in between meals can help to stabilize your metabolism and give your weight loss goals a big boost. Plus it helps you to feel more satisfied during the day and helps to prevent overeating or overindulging in foods that will ruin your diet. Some additional tips.... balance your cabs with leafy green veggies because this will help to prevent insulin spikes which can turn calories to body fat fast. Eating a combination of greens and berries along with smaller amounts of fruits, breads and pastas can help as well. If you desire a sweet treat, try to eat it between meals and during the day when you are active. This will help to avoid a sugar crash and you are more likely to burn some of those extra calories if you stay moving. Whatever your weight loss goals, keep it up and don't give up!

The Food Lover's Diet; to be honest when I saw their commercials I was thinking wow what a stupid thing to say to over-eaters, to fill their heads with the idea that they can eat whatever they want and still loose weight. Then I had a conversation about it with my friend, who also happens to be a surgeon specializing in gastric bypass and other weight loss surgeries. She told me that she has been recommending this to her clients and most of them lost so much weight that they no longer needed surgery. She explained to me that the program isn't really a diet, more like a guide to proper eating. It discusses moving away from preprocessed foods, teaches people how to cook their favorite meals in a healthier way and it shows people how to eat the right balance of foods. So we put it to the test and so far people are loosing weight, without feeling deprived and yes they can still have desserts and fatty foods provided that they follow the right portions and food combinations. So go Food Lovers! I highly recommend this to anyone!
