Lose Weight: Smaller Meals Keep the Metabolism Purring

Do you find that you are hungry in between your last meal, and start snack hunting? It never dawned on me to carry healthy snacks for those in between meals until I began to listen to my personal trainer, Dr. Vera Stevens. You could carry a healthy snack just as easy as choosing a calorie laced snack on a hunger search.

Have you noticed the snacks you tend to reach for, if they are in your cupboard, or the office snack machine, is usually something like chips, soda, a candy bar, cookies, etc. Try packaging snacks in small sandwich bags. If you are serious about watching those calorie laced pickings, you could pack a thermal bag with an ice pack to keep it fresh. Take it in the car with you, just in case you want to snack.

The body needs fuel. We have been programmed to eat our three main meals a day, not realizing that we could get hungry sooner than our next scheduled meal. Here are a few suggestions to snack on: Apple Jack Cereal, Yogurt, boiled eggs, Orange and Apple Slices, Broccoli Florets. Whatever your tastes are, choose fruits, veggies, low calorie nutritional foods, to keep your metabolism purring.

Dr. Vera's Personal Trainer Weight Loss 20 Challenge

Are you looking to lose 20 pounds? Even if you are not, have you been struggling with your weight? What if I told you, the real problem of why the weight won’t stay off has to do with what is in your mind?

This is weird how this happened, I took on the challenge to host Dr. Vera, a personal trainer and nutritionist, on one of my radio shows (www.blogtalkradio.com/changinglives) The show has been going on for a few years now. Being the host, preparing and listening to the information caused my mind to make a greater shift related to weight and my health.

At the time I undertook to do this show, I was already at my desired weight, but just recently I decided that I wanted to take off about 15 to 20 pounds. So I proposed the idea to Dr. Vera Stevens and we kicked it off in October: The Weight Loss 20 Challenge.

Dr. Vera has agreed to consult with our listeners individually/group at no cost to those participating in the challenge. You may be the type of person who needs to be accountable to someone. There is a missing piece to why you haven’t made the connection to set you free from the battle with your weight. . . It’s not too late to join.

Kick off the New Year with a new plan of action, one that values health and wellness.
