You need a minimum of an hour before bed! Do your very best not to eat within an hour of bedtime and closer to 2 hours is best. As previously mentioned, your body starts to slow down as the day goes on and gets ready for sleep.
You do not want to consume a lot of calories right before you go to bed, because you will end of potentially storing those calories as FAT!!!
Your body sometimes give you a false sense of being hungry as you bedtime nears. You get those 9pm cravings… And a lot of people end up hitting the Refrigerator and over consuming right before bed time…Not good for managing your weight or body fat %. If you just can’t resist the munchies, then make good healthy choices to squash them. Choose something like cottage cheese, yogurt, peanut butter or nuts, a few carrot sticks, etc. Choosing a good quality fat food (nuts or peanut butter) will satisfy your craving and will keep you from binging on something with lots of bad carbohydrates or simple sugars, like ice cream, cake or cookies.

Have a small meal/snack every 2-3 hours! Do not allow your blood sugar levels to drop, in between meals. By eating more often and eating the right types of foods that are on the low end of the glycemic index, you can keep your blood sugar levels more even throughout the day, and ensure that you are not getting those mid-afternoon yawns and also help keep the excess weight off. Remember that when you spike your blood sugar by eating simple sugars and refined carbohydrates, this will potentially cause your body to store fat!!!

Choose complex carbohydrates instead of simple sugars to acheive or maintain a leaner body. Your body is in constant need of carbohydrates to be converted into glucose and used as fuel. When your body has extra glucose it will be stored as fat for later use. Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, take longer to break down into glucose, and will therefore be less likely to be stored as fat than simple carbohydrates such as table sugar, or fruit sugar.
While there is a place for each of these foods in a proper eating regiment how and when you are ingesting them will make all the difference in the world. Best to choose the complex carbs 9 out of 10 times for weight maintenance.

Diets Don’t Work! Never go on a diet! Statistics show that going on and off diets will actually increase your chance of permanent weight gain. Skipping meals is a common mistake that dieters make. While this will lead to a lower calorie intake, it will also trigger your body to slow down your metabolism in order to conserve energy, thus causing you to burn fewer calories.
This is by far, not the right way to get the look and feel you want! Stay away from the fads! Learn to eat right for the long-term.

Anyone? Anyone? Six weeks into the New Year and as it has always been and unfortunately, always will be, most of those individuals that made the New Year’s resolutions of health and wellness have yet again fallen by the wayside. It happens! Did it happen to you? Guess what…..if it did, you can still get back on. The train hasn’t left the station just yet!
It is never too late, nor is there ever going to be a perfect time. Do not allow yourself to make excuses and ultimately fail, whether you made a resolution or not. You didn’t need January 1st two months ago, you don’t need it now. If, in fact, you had made a resolution and for whatever reason have gotten out of your routine, let’s pick it back up. Do not allow yourself to be discouraged! Keep your head up and go back at it again.
Always remember, health and wellness is a marathon, not a sprint! Remember the tortoise?

Blend your foods! Blending your foods means making sure that if you are eating a food item that does contain carbohydrates, make sure that you incorporate a good low fat protein along with it. Eating a low carb tortilla wrap, that the first ingredient is whole wheat flour, unrefined and adding lean chicken breast as part of your filling in the wrap, maybe with some thinly shredded romaine lettuce and other veggies.

Visualize Clearly and Often! Design your new body in your mind first. You cannot achieve your idea of the perfect body if you don’t have an idea of what the perfect body means to you. Take 10 minutes when you are sure not to be disturbed by people or phone calls, get comfortable, fully relax, and then begin to dream about what you will look like when you have achieved your goal. Be specific, what will your calves look like, your legs, your butt, your lower back, your stomach, your chest, your upper back, your shoulders, your neck and your face. Then review this image as often throughout each day as possible (never less than 3x/day).

While this might sound petty to some, visualization has been proven to have significant positive impacts on goal setting and attaining. World-class athletes use it consistently. If it can help them, it can certainly help you.

I am sure you have heard over and over again about the importance of water, but we are going to take a moment to stress it again today! You MUST increase your water intake to at least 8 glasses per day! STOP! It is not that hard to do, so don’t go “oh my goodness, 8 glasses!” It’s easy, replace the sodas, drink a glass as soon as you get up in the morning, and have one in between and with meals! There you go, you’ve covered your quota!

Water is a key component to life. If you do not consume enough fresh water every day, your body will age faster, appear fatter, be more susceptible to germs and colds, lose joint mobility, and much more. Generally speaking, most people who weigh less than 150 pounds require no less than 8-10 glasses per day; those who weigh between 150-250 pounds require about 10+ glasses per day.

And ladies, remember, you dehydrate at a faster pace than men, so if you want to control your weight and keep your skin longer good, drink up! Your water intake is crucial. Using Rehydrate offers additional benefit to women for these reasons as well. You will be amazed at how quickly your body replenishes and how much better your skin looks and feels just by drinking it each night before bed.

Please note, daily exercise levels increase your water intake requirements. Keep this in mind, before, during and after exercise bouts! Go drink right NOW!
