Do you get that afternoon energy-lag? I sure do. Even when I eat a good combo of protein and complex carbs for lunch, I still feel like taking a siesta around 2:00 PM.
I’ve tried an afternoon coffee – I end-up jittery and then I can’t sleep at night.
How to Be Your Best You, No Matter the Weather
Have you ever stepped back to really consider the impact that seasons have on our health? Whether we realize it or not, we’ve been pretty thoroughly conditioned to emotionally associate certain temperatures with certain health habits. We tend to be more active in the spring and summer versus the fall and winter. People from lots of different religious and cultural backgrounds use the holiday season as a reason to overeat and make resolutions of doing better next year. We often crave sweet treats like ice creams, milkshakes, and sodas in the dog days of summer.
Last week on PLW.com Lyndsey Bobola talked about why meal planning is such an important part of a successful health and fitness routine.
I completely agree with Lyndsey! But, not only for health and fitness reasons. Meal planning is an essential stress-management life tool for me! Not having a meal plan was very stressful to me. 4pm would roll around and I still had no idea what I was going to fix for dinner.
Do “calories” really count?
Well, yes they do, but they’re not the only thing that matters when it comes to how much you weigh and how much energy you have. In other words it’s all about your metabolism.
What you may really want to know is what affects your metabolic rate, and how can you use that to your advantage. Of course it’s not just about how much you eat but also your hormones, body composition, and even what you eat that counts!
Recently I wrote about going from buying all the meat to all the veggies. But, this week it’s greens and more greens and more greens, and even some green juice. Now, I’m not normally a huge proponent of juices, so I actually love that this “craving” has presented itself, because it gives me an opportunity to talk to you about one of my favorite things!
In my WHAT EXACTLY IS METABOLISM blog I talked about how to boost your lean muscle mass through your food choices. By boosting lean muscle mass you also can boost your metabolism!
