We're you up late posting to this board? WHAT TO EAT… AFTER A RESTLESS NIGHT Spent the night pounding pillows? The groggy feeling you’ll have the following morning isn’t your only problem. Researchers at UCLA researchers found that poor sleep causes increased ghrelin and decreased leptin during the day, which can lead to an increased appetite and overeating. To combat this, start your day off with lean protein. Try an ounce of nuts or three ounces (abut a size of a deck of cards) of lean meat, which will keep you feeling satisfied longer. You can also try Greek yogurt mixed with a banana and some Chia seeds sprinkled in. Were you out late partying? WHAT TO EAT… AFTER A NIGHT OUT When your happy hour gets out of hand, consider Jimenez’s morning fix: “The next day have a virgin Bloody Mary. It’s an easy hangover cure. The tomato juice will replenish your body from water and electrolyte losses caused by an alcohol binge.” To cut back on that “ugh” feeling before it strikes, try pear cactus, says Erin Palinski, RD, author of the forthcoming book, Belly Fat Diet for Dummies. Researchers at Tulane University found that people who took capsules of pear cactus 5 hours before starting to drink experienced 50 percent fewer hangover symptoms. The theory: Since excessive alcohol is essentially toxic to the body, the body responds by using the inflammatory response to counteract the effects of excessive alcohol and the damage it may cause to cells and organs. Compounds in pear cactus help decrease that inflammation. Long meeting got you feeling sluggish? WHAT TO EAT… AFTER A LONG MEETING If you feel foggy after sitting through a 200-slide PowerPoint presentation, munch on a few almonds. They provide healthy fats and a little protein, says Lauren O’Connor, RD, from Nutri-Savvy. Research published in the journal Neuron shows protein, not sugar, activates the cells that keep us awake and burning calories. While whole grain carbohydrates provide the glucose that keeps the brain going, protein is what guarantees that you won’t forget what the meeting was about in the first place. That’s especially true when protein is rich in the amino acid tyrosine, a neurotransmitter that is critical for brain energy and alertness (one ounce of almonds contains 127 mg of tyrosine). There's more of course: http://www.livestrong.com/article/557159-the-right-foods-at-the-right-time/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=10172012 Edited by VoiceofReason, Oct 17 2012, 11:52 PM.

I'm thinking about going through a personal trainer course...just for the knowledge. Or/and maybe a few nutrition courses. It's time for a class.

Most people say it's not good to eat late at night and then good to bed. Whatever you do don't eat a lot of sweets and then go to bed. |
