The Right Way to Eat for Better Health and Weight Loss

Copyright 2005 Cote

Did you know that how and when you eat is important for

good health?

For most of your life, you probably have eaten breakfast,

lunch and dinner. Now depending on your eating habits, this

may be okay...but many people skip breakfast because they

don't have the time, they have a semi-normal lunch and then

a large dinner. Avoid this at all costs...

When you wake up, your body is screaming for food- it's

been many hours since you last ate. By skipping breakfast,

you're depriving your body of the nutrients it needs and

forcing it to go into hibernation mode- this slows down

your metabolism. Dinner should be your lightest meal of the

day because your metabolism is slowest in the evening...yet

for many people, it's their largest.

That being said...

The ideal eating schedule is to have a small, healthy meal

every 2-3 hours (healthy sandwich, protein shake, peanut

butter, fruit, healthy fats, whole grains, nuts etc). Your

body isn't made for digesting huge portions of food. By

eating small meals every 2-3 hours, you keep your

metabolism at top speed and your digestive system healthy.

And it really isn't all that difficult. Go out and buy

nutrition bars (but pay close attention to the ingredients-

Kashi bars are great)...buy good fat like peanut butter and

almonds...fruit like apples and berries...lean meats like

chicken and turkey...whole grains breads- these are all

foods you can bring to work with you. It's what I do every

day so I know it's possible.

To sum things up, you need to change your habits so you're

eating small, healthy meals every 2-3 hours. This will keep

your metabolism at top speed, your digestive system healthy

and your body in peak performance.

If this is completely impossible for you, then make sure

your breakfast is your biggest and most nutritious meal of

the day, lunch your second largest, and dinner your

smallest. And don't forget to drink water!

Try this for a month or two...combine it with a good

exercise plan and the right nutritional supplements and

you'll be amazed at how great you feel.
