Don't Snack

Some people feel that by snacking they will stay full and will not over eat. There is some truth to this. However, you may be creating a habit that becomes associated with a task.
Example: How often to you go to the movies and don't buy popcorn? Do you eat popcorn when you go shopping or while cleaning the bathtub?

Snacking can create habits that make you want to eat certain foods when you are not even hungry. This can result in over eating. If you want to prevent eating too much at meals don't spread your meals out too far. If you have lunch at noon and dinner at 7:00pm you will probably eat more than you need. Try eating your meals about four hours apart and no more than five. By doing this you will need to eat four meals a day. The result is that you will never get to the point that you are starving and end up overeating while preventing eating snacks as a habit.

Happy New Year

Guess everyone is making their New Year's resolution to get fit. Right? Well , forget setting crazy goals. Focus on making some small improvements from last year. I always see so many people in the gym from January 1 through February 28. That is usually as long as those commitments last.

Most is this lack of commitments is because goals are set to lose a certain amount of weight. Without a plan to do so, you will see very little result or reach your goal and then quit. Set goals to exercise more and eat less. Give up a food that you normally eat a lot of and replace it with a leaner healthier food. Commit to exercising three times a week. This will allow you to be flexible to when you exercise and will help to to taste committed even when things arise that prevent you from working out.

Good Luck and Happy New Year!!!
