I have mentioned before and I am sure I will mention again the idea that you need to eat small meals several times a day and most importantly you need to plan your meals and meal times. I can tell a story to illustrate this.

On Thursday I went into work and before I got a chance to site down I got called out to another building for a meeting. My regular morning starts with a bagel and jam and then another snack halfway between then and lunch but not today. I got to the first meeting (a little foreshadowing here) and had a cup of coffee, the meeting went long and I got dragged into another long meeting. By the time my first two meetings were done it was 11:30 and my wife called me to invite my to lunch at the Olive Garden. I accepted, had an apple and then went to the Olive Garden were I stuffed myself.

After eating too much for lunch I dragged myself through the afternoon and then finally ate a couple pieces of pizza for dinner at 8:00 and went to bed at 10:30.

Thursday had to be my worst eating day in months. I had two crappy quality meals and nothing much else. Not a proud day for me that is for sure.

So how do you get around these kinds of eating days? Well there are a few ways:

• The night before plan what and when you will eat the next day
• Have three meals planned and good healthy snacks that are easy to make
• When you start your day make sure that you have a good look at your calendar so that you know if anything will get in the way
• Do not bring any extra treats, if you have them you will eat them first (I would)

One of the things that I really do is to usually follow these rules and after next to no time you do not have to worry about eating these bloating giant meals and your energy will be more balanced and higher on a regular basis .

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.

Many of us remember Tori Spelling as the duaghter of Aaron Spelling and as one of the stars of Beverly Hills 90210. More recently Tori Spelling has had a couple of TV shows and got married and had a baby.

As with many people when they have babies Tori Spelling gained a little more weight than she expected during her pregnancy and the tabloids ran with it. This week there was a little bit of a coming out for Tori as she had photoshoots with her husband and new baby and interviews where she showed that she has lost all of her baby weight. The system she used? Nutrisystem.

We have seen lots of B rated celebrities over the last few years doing ads for different wieght loss programs most notbly of course has been Kirstie Alley for Jenny Craig who is probably more famous now than she was when she was on Cheers, as well as many others.

Most interesting to me in the Tori Spelling story is what is Nutrisystem and what does the diet program stand for?

Nutrisystem is a diet that looks at the Glycemic Index of foods and tries to have you lose weight with the GI Diet type of eating. There is some research that shows that the GI Diet is not very effective although the jury is still out. I have more importantly seen that most diets will work anyway as long as you strictly adhere to them as most people will see a little bit of success and then will quit and go back their bad habits and lack of exercise.

So now that we have seen Nutrisystem pass Tori’s lips we have to wonder if there will soon be a Nutrisystem TV ad campaign starring the “Inn Love” “Nortorious” star.
