Food Tip: Eat Breakfast
This is being written because of a conversation I had with someone last week. It is really important to have breakfast when trying to lose weight. More importantly, your breakfast should be over 300 calories. Here is why. A full breakfast eliminates the need for those afternoon munchies. Let’s face it, it is the afternoon where we make the worst choices. Eating a big breakfast also speeds up your metabolism. Eating creates an endothermic reaction causes heat which makes metabolism burn and rev up. So eat and it will fire up your sagging metabolism.
　
Fitness Tip: Mix it up
Ever sit at a machine and wait for a minute so that your muscles recover to do another set? Well don’t. here is an idea, do some jumping jacks, some easy squats or run in place. This will fire up you metabolism so that you burn more calories. As long as you are resting the muscles that are required by the machine, you are still recovering. But might as well move around, I mean you are at a gym, not library.
　
General Food Tip: Apple Sauce
I baked yesterday. I do not bake - mainly because I am a trainer. If you look at the ingredients in a cake mix, it calls for more oil than a Greek barber shop. So instead of oil, I used applesauce. The cake was moist, delicious and worked well. So, try apple sauce as an alternative to antiquated vegetable oil (lol).
