We are on day 5 of the detox and moving forward, two days left your body will be refueled cleansed and ready to make the everyday life change to becoming healthy( mind body and soul). I hope this blog has been a help so far feel free to leave comments or if you have questions ask if I don't have the answer ill do my best to find the answer for you.If there are certain topics you want to know more about give me suggestions ill be happy to elaborate on those topics. I am learning as I move toward my certification as I learn I will be sharing. The topic I would like to talk about today is how many times a day should we eat, how often and when.It is best to eat 5 to six small meals a day rather then three large meals eating smaller meals you stay fulfilled all day and you wont overeat at meal times and I cant stress enough lots of water all throughout the day .(hint water curbs the appetite.)here is a link to an article lots of good informationhttp://www.thedietchannel.com/AskTheExpert/nutrition-healthy-eating/Meal-Frequency-How-often-should-you-eat.htm
Portion control is the key to self control and not overeating. I use different size scoops to measure out my meats and veggies. For dinner I usually have a main course (chicken, fish, lean beef) a green vegetable and a starch (potato,rice pasta ,stuffing beans ) or fruit. To much starch can put on pounds so I alternate I have a starch maybe 3 times a week then ill have fruit the other 4 nights here are some ways to use portion control http://weightloss.about.com/od/eatsmart/tp/aa030405a.htm
I challenge you that on Monday to eat 5 to 6 small meals drink lots of water and start portioning your meals you will feel a difference this is the first step to reaching your goals.
