To eat or not to eat...

It's 11:30 a.m and the office gang just brought in a cake to celebrate someone's birthday.  Should you have a piece?

NO!!  Have coffee if that's offered, but turn down the gooey cake.  The birthday person won't be offended.  It will mean more for the others, or more for her to take home.




It's 3 p.m.  You had a light lunch at noon, and this evening you have Zumba class at the health club before you go home.

YES!!  Keep up your blood sugar by choosing something healthful (not processed) that's under 200 calories.  Fruit, yogurt and rice products all work well.  So do hard-boiled eggs.  Do not let yourself crash.



It's 5:30 p.m. on Friday.  The gang is going out for Happy Hour and half-price appetizers.  Should you eat some?

DEPENDS.  If you're going to drink modestly, it's a good idea to eat something...but not greasy buffalo wings and egg rolls.  Opt for a fresh veggie platter.  You'll discover that munching on celery while sipping chardonnay with your best buddies can be every bit as fun as mindlessly eating tortilla chips and guzzling sugary margaritas. For what you'll save in margarita and chips calories, you can even have a second glass of wine!

It's 10 p.m.  You've just caught up on your evening email.  You're tired.  You're also hungry; you had a light dinner around 5:00.  Should you eat something before you turn in?

NO!!!  You're tired and you're certainly not starving (you just ate five hours ago and have an abundant supply of reserve fuel on your body).  Just go to bed.  Your body needs rest, not food.


Do what I did.  Lost 40 pounds, shrink yourself for good, and start living life.  You have nothing to lose but $2.99 (for my book) and your extra weight.  I'm just like you.  I did it; you can too.   Go here:  www.bucketlistweightloss.com.
