Daily tip #46| Eat right!

1. You generally want to eat at least 3 to 4 times per day. Also, try not to snack in between meals.   2. For those of you who love to snack between meals, I recommend drinking a cup or two of water - your snacking needs will be gone! 3. You want to not down everything in one sitting. a big meal spikes the sugar in your blood, which triggers an insulin reaction which then converts the temporary surpulus to fat.

Spreading the same number of calories over several smaller meals ( 3 to 5, instead of 2 to 3) gives you a better chance of using the calories for energy rather...

Daily tip #45| Clearing it up 301

Let's assume you run 30 minutes per day, you've changed your meal plan, it's been atleast a month, and.. Nothing. The weight doesn't shed off, so, what now? You might be out-eating your cardio.

No matter how hard you are working out, you can always make this mistake. Just a friendly heads-up! By the way - If you think that just because you eat very well cardio is not important, it still is. Cardio is one of the most important things you can do...

Daily tip #46| Clearing it up 401

Most people associate the words "Weight loss" and "Eating less" with deprivation, hunger and pain. Well, they're doing it wrong. Losing weight and eating less does not mean deprivation, hunger, or pain, in my opinion, it's quite enjoyable! You spend less money, you're shedding the unfortunate belly and you're feeling happier. I know many people who think weight loss is all about starving 'model' style, and they either don't even take it up - or starve themselves, get sick,  feel horrible and become demotivated. Goals matter in terms of the eating schedule and exercise, but hunger and deprivation has no place in a good plan! The single...

Daily tip #42| Juice bad for teeth?

Is apple juice bad for your teeth? Well.. Apples are great for your teeth, why would apple juice be bad? That's logical, but.. Apple juice contains many sugars and acids. Apples do too, but when you eat an apple, the water and fibers inside of it wash away the acid and sugars. Juice doesn't have fibers or water, it can weaken and erode the enamel. It has been found that orange juice decreases hardness and increases roughness of enamel...  Enamel hardness was decreased by 84 percent. That's right. It was literally washed away.  It is important to understand that there are a lot of acids in fruit juices, sodas, energy and sport drinks....
