Week 6 Nutrition Challenge:
No good eating happens late at night. Ever. This Week's Challenge is a great rule to live by: do not eat after 8 pm. If your body isn't working on digesting food while you're sleeping, it can work on repairing your muscles and balancing your brain chemicals, not to mention you'll sleep better. Better sleep leads to more energy during the day and more control over food decisions too. The best part about a bedtime fast: without food for more than five hours your body will start burning its own fat and sugar!
So close the kitchen at 8 p.m. (put up a sign on the fridge if you have to) and go to bed hungry. You will live through the hunger you may feel and you will get re-fueled with a healthy breakfast when you wake up. Does this mean skip supper if you get home from evening activities after 8 p.m.? Yep! If you know you're going to get home late try to plan ahead by packing an apple and protein bar to take with you.
Note: If your workout ends after 8 p.m. then you can extend this time until after your post-workout snack. Just be sure your snack is planned, controlled, low calorie/high protein, and not a full meal.
All Nutrition Goals for this Week:
- Drink lots of water!
- Avoid "junk" drinks.
- Eat a healthy breakfast.
- Eat an apple everyday.
- No sweets! (or cut back)
- Try 2 new healthy recipes OR cook at least 10 meals this week (actually cook them, boxed dinners don't count)
- Don't eat after 8 p.m.
