The Lessons of Eating!

You know we as a society have to learn to eat! We need to re-educate ourselves in the proper way to eat food throughout the day!

Our society has it all backwards. From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep we have not been conditioned to actually eat correctly for our bodies.

Our 9-5 pm world is partly to blame for this, but the media and all the hype around instant results and instant gratification has really thrown us all for a loop and has actually made people fatter!

In order to lose weight we must look outside the box, we must step away from societal norms and go against the grain.

Let me teach you some lessons in eating, the correct way!

Lesson 1

Eat as soon as you get up - Food should be the first thing on your mind! You must feed the body and kick start your metabolism. (All chemical reactions in the body) If you skip your first meal the more you will feel the need to binge at night. This is because you will may be starving the body all day and will have to "make up" for the calories that you did not consume in the morning.

Lesson 2 - Eat right before you go to bed! Yes this is a contradiction to no later then 8pm at night. You should be having a light snack 30 minutes before bed. For example some lightly scrambled eggs and a piece of rye toast with natural peanut butter. This way when you are sleeping your body will have the correct amount of nutrients, and when you awake and eat right away the body will only have been without food for only 7-8 hours not 13-16 hours!

Lesson 3

Eat a small dinner! Not a traditional meat and potatoes meal!

Most people eat way too much during the dinner meal. Traditional meals are out and smaller meals are in! Take your plate and fill half of it with greens/salads etc and the other half should be filled with a clean burning protein, for example salmon, chicken or a lean cuts of meat.
