Did you know? (Tips on weight loss and keeping it off.)


Did you know that people with a history of skipping breakfast have larger waists by almost 2 inches than those that eat breakfast?!?  (Info from study by American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)  Passing on breakfast causes most to pig out later.  Shoot for 20 to 30 grams of protein at breakfast.

Did you know eating at your desk could cause you to eat more later in the day?  A study by the University of Bristol, England showed that when you eat while distracted, you remember less about the food and don't feel as full; this can make you hungrier later on.

Did you know that short-term binges can hinder your body's ability to burn fat, epecially junk food?  People who binged on fast food for a month with limited exercise gained an average of 14 pounds.  After resuming healthy habits and losing some weight, their body fat remained high.  Moral....stay away from binge eating and junk food!
