Eat more

Many of you have probably heard 20% exercise and 80% diet. Because our diet is a large portion to living a healthier lifestyle, it is important that we talk about it.

Eating the right foods is key. You need to choose the right foods to provide your body with the nutrients it needs. When your body has the proper nutrients it needs, it will change your mood and provide you with more energy. As I mentioned in a later post of mine, look at the foods you are filling your body with. You may be surprised that most of us have been filling our selves with foods that have little to no nutritious value do to lot of our foods are high in sugars and unhealthy fats or processed. 

You should also eat regularly. Do not overeat but do not starve yourself. Eating smaller portions versus larger portions of healthier foods is said to help increase your metabolism and burn more calories. What this means is that you can eat 6 small nutritious meals rather then 3 larger meals. Spreading your meals into 6 small meals (eating every 3 hours) throughout the day will prevent you from overeating do to it causes your body to feel more full.
