Q and A

Q:
On days when you don't feel hungry should you force yourself to
eat?-W.R.

A:
Each day your body needs calories in order to do it's jobs properly. If you are not ill with a stomach virus, you should certainly make an effort to eat throughout the day. On the days you are not feeling particularly hungry, make an effort to eat light, healthy, clean meals loaded with veggies and lean proteins. Have fruit and some nuts as your snacks. This will help to keep your metabolism running as well as help you to avoid overeating the following day.
It is best to get and keep your body on a regular eating schedule. Your body needs a certain amount of calories each day and cycles of over/under eating mess with your metabolism and blood sugar levels making it harder for you to keep to any kind of balanced and healthful eating plan.
Try eating small balanced meals that are a combination of complex carbs, lean proteins, and healthy fats every 3-4 hours. Put thought into your meals and plan ahead so that you can make good decisions about what you put into your body. Eat Well...Live Well!!!
