Tips to stay on track

• Do not skip meals – you need to keep your metabolism running all day
• Remember that skipping meals deprives your body of needed nutrients that ensure your health and wellness success
• “Break the fast” in the morning – skipping breakfast signals a fasting mode to your body, and you store fat, and burn muscle for energy
• Eating breakfast reduces the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome by 35% – 50%, and keeps your motor running all day long!
• Remember that eating a breakfast of High-Glucose foods (donuts, bagels, sugary cereals, etc.), increases your risk of heart disease and Type II Diabetes, and leads to highs and lows of energy all day long, headaches, inflammation, fatigue, and gastro problems
• Eat slowly! It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to send the “full” message to your brain – eating is a pleasant experience so enjoy it!

Keep up the great job! See you at the “Biggest Winners”, Wednesday, 5:30pm, at Total Health, Chesterfield Clinic
