27 days until your Resolution?

Many of us try to put off getting into shape. We know we need it and we know we want it but the (perceived) agony of dieting and exercising during the busy holiday season seems overwhelming so all eating plans start on:
tomorrow
Monday
at the first of the month
Jan. 1st.

For the next 10 days I will give you 10 habits to help get through without the typical holiday weight gain.

Habit #1
Eat every 2 0r 3 hours.
One of the worst things almost all dieters do, especially women, is to skip breakfast in a misguided attempt to save calories. This does not work and will backfire by slowing your metabolism and causing a ravenous appetite in the evening.
Each person meal sizes and number of meals are different depending on their gender, body size and composition and activity levels. For the standard of how many meals to eat, take the number of hours you are awake and divide by 3. example: 15 hours / 3 = 5 meals.
I don't really like to differentiate between meals and snacks because they are all meals in their own right, some just smaller. Every time that you feed your body you have the opportunity to make your body better or make it worse.
In the end do your best to stick to habit #1. -eating every 2 0r 3 hours without making it a source of frustration and confusion. If you would like more help with this first of 10 habits feel free to drop me an email through the gym's website www.springfieldhealthandfitness.com
