A Schedule for Healthy Eating
By: Ryan Cote
For most of your life, you probably have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now depending on your eating habits, this may be OK...but for the vast majority of people, it's not. You skip breakfast because you don't have time, you have an OK lunch and then a huge dinner. Avoid this at all costs...
When you wake up, your body is screaming for food...it needs it! By skipping breakfast you're depriving your body of nutrients and forcing it to go into hiberation mode, thus slowing down your metabolism. Dinner should be your lightest meal of the day because your metabolism is at its slowest...yet for most people, it's their largest.
That being said...
The ideal eating schedule is to have a small, healthy meal every 2-3 hours (healthy sandwich, protein shakes, fruit, healthy fats, whole grains, etc). Your body isn't wired for digesting huge portions of foods. By eating small meals every 2-3 hours, you keep your metabolism at top speed. And it really isn't all that difficult. Go out and buy nutrition bars (but pay close attention to the ingredients)...buy good fat like peanut butter and almonds...fruit like apples and berries, whole grains breads- these are all foods you can bring to work with you. It's what I do every day so I know it's possible.
To sum things up, your best bet is to eat small, healthy meals every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism at top speed and body at peak performance. If this is completely impossible for you, make sure you breakfast is your biggest meal of the day, lunch your second biggest, and dinner your smallest. And don't forget to drink water!
Try this for a month or two...and combine it with exercise and nutritional supplements and you'll be amazed at how great you feel.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
