"Your body burns more calories digesting protein than it does fat or carbs." Dr. Louis Arrone
According to Dr. Arrone:
1. Eat more protein, such as lean red meat, chicken, fish, tofu and beans.
2. Have a morning meal. Eating in the morning jump starts your metabolism for the day.
3. Snack often. Do not go more than 3-4 hours between eating. Snack on whole food carbs and protein -- such as peanut butter, or an apple and cheese.
Another suggestion for weight control is to get adequate sleep. Skimping on sleep raises levels of appetite stimulating hormones, such as cortisol. Especially in this busy holiday season -- and the always-busy days for caregivers --- eat nutritiously and often and get adequate sleep to preserve our own health.
