'EAT RIGHT'.....

....WHEN YOU GET UP - You don't need to eat immediately on waking but it is really important to eat in the morning (within an hour of being up). Those who eat breakfast regularly are better able to control their weight, while breakfast skipper are likely t over compensate and eat too much at lunch. If you can't face much in the morning try 30g of Porridge with a scoop of Protein Powder stirred in, some fresh fruit with a scoop of cottage cheese or Greek yoghurt or a protein shake (I recommend and retail Herbalife).

....AFTER YOU EXERCISE - After a good workout your body might be low on fuel, so try to eat something within 30-45 mins after you finish your exercise. Your muscles need fruit, vegetables and whole-grains to help replenish their stock of carbs and a shot of protein to help them recover. (see Herbalife 'Rebuild Strength' & 'Rebuild Endurance')

....WHEN YOU EAT OUT - We eat so many meals out these days that dining out isn't the special occasion it once was. Resist the urge to splurge when you are out. If you are trying to reduce your calorie intake split a starter with your friend and order an extra side salad. OR skip the starchy side dishes and double up on the vegetables. Ask for dressings and sauces 'on the side' s that you control how much is added to your meal.

....AT NIGHT - A lot of people eat lightly, or skip meals during the day only to eat huge amounts of calories between dinner and bed time, but when you do most of your eating at night your brain and muscles don't get the fuel they need for your 'daily' physical and mental activities. Instead, distribute your calories fairly evening throughout your meals and snacks. If after-dinner 'snacking' is piling on the pounds try brushing your teeth straight after your dinner, it is one of the most effective ways to prevent late night snacking.
