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.

Well after a lot of prep and a lot of work I have rebuilt this blog and hope that it will perform better. Over the last three years I have worked to put together a lot of good information on how to get in shape, how to improve your fitness and even included as much as I could about health issues and scientific reviews that could help you improve your health.

Now I have moved this blog, I hope successfully, to a new platform. The new name kind of tells you that his is not a little family site anymore but instead I will take you health a lot more seriously. I should be able to offer you a lot more here  and all the old articles and news stories are still here for you to read.

So now that we are here I hope to offer a lot more how-to’s, a lot more tutorials on what should or should not work as far as exercise and diet go and I will offer a lot more answers from questions that I get every day in my email. So please continue to send me questions and I will try to post answers here. You can find my email address under my picture in the top right hand corner.
