Meaning, at a certain point of the evening set an expectation to not consume any more calories. 

It’s easy to browse the pantry due to boredom, grab a snack while you are unwinding with some TV, or crack a nightcap from the fridge.

Fight the urge! Grab a cold glass of water to fill your stomach, brush your teeth and head to bed. Those calories can go into tomorrow 😉

We live in a fast paced, go-go-go, on to the next world. What does that have to do with nutrition? The faster you eat the more you are apt to consume before realizing your have had enough.

Take some time to be intentional with the pace of your meals and snacks and you will find you are shaving lots of unnecessary calories. 

Bonus, it will allow you to enjoy the flavor, aroma and texture of your food!

You don’t have to have the entire week or even the rest of the days food planned out. 

But always knowing what is up NEXT gets you enough planning to ensure you can get the right amount and the right types of food each day. 

This starts the night before knowing what your breakfast will look like. Then as breakfast wraps knowing the next snack, etc. Waterfall this habit through the day and you have it on lock down!
