Don't Skip Meals

It is best to eat throughout the day whenever you are hungry. Don't deny your body the food it needs to function. The trick is to have smaller meals with 2 or 3 snacks throughout the day. It's surprising how an apple, a chunk of cheese, or handful of peanuts will energize you and give you the boost you need to tend to your daily tasks. I always keep a healthy snack in my purse so I'm not tempted to pull up to a fast food restaurant or grab a candy bar at the gas station to curb a craving. When you deprive your body of nourishment for too many hours when meal time finally comes around you'll overeat. That's not a good idea.
