eating more

Have you noticed that skinny people and little kids have a lot in common?
They both have a lot of energy and they both eat at regular intervals and through out the day.
coincidence? i think NOT!

My nephew eats every 2-3 hours. and trust me he will let you know if he is hungry. not only does he get grumpy and cranky but he says MMMMMMMM a lot. That's his word for hungry.

He also eats very healthy. He has a whole grain baby cereal for breakfast and his milk. For a morning snack he'll eat a cheese stick, yogurt or a fruit. This boy loves his nectarines :) Lunch is usually mom and dad's left overs. Protein (usually meat, chicken or fish) with vegetable. later a snack after his afternoon nap and then another meal similar to his lunch. and of course the day finishes with his story time to wind down and his bottle. interspersed are moments of great productivity playing and running.

If you think about it, this is how we should live and eat. We need to feed and nourish our bodies on a regular basis to have the energy we need to thrive. Balanced meals every 2-3 hours. Regular exercise. And some quiet time to reflect and relax followed by a restful nights sleep to relax and recharge the batteries.

This is one of the benefits of working a program that utilizes MediFast meals...This is the lifestyle that they promote and recommend.
