The last two weeks I’ve been talking to you about avoiding the end of the year weight gain but let’s get serious for a moment. You’re going to eat a LOT of food this Thursday. You know it. I know it. And that’s ok. I’m sure you’ve been working out just a little bit harder to prepare for it, right? And I know you’re going to get a good workout in on Thursday before you chow down, right?

Now, besides that, I also want to remind you one thing you do NOT want to do on Thursday is

Carbs, carbs, carbs. That’s what everyone seems to want to talk about. How do I avoid carbs?

By now you probably know that one of the best way to stay on track to losing weight is cook your food yourself. Add to that the economy being as it is right now, and it seems like RIGHT NOW more than ever is the perfect time to start cutting back on take-out and restaurant meals, and to eat more dinners at home, pack lunches, reduce expenses and slim down at the same time.

The challenge, though, is that if you’re NOT a confident cook, then the idea of making dinner from scratch, even if it’s cheaper than take-out, seems incredibly stressful.

If you’re the world’s worst cook, or Mom to gaggle of kids barely keeping your head attached, or you never learned to cook properly… maybe you don’t know where to start.

Did you know: Sumo Wrestlers
are required to skip breakfast in order to slow down their metabolism and gain
weight?!

My guess is that not many of you reading this blog including me, have the desire to resemble a Sumo wrestlers.

In fact Sumo squats are about as close as I want to get to any part of a Sumo wrestlers routine.

So, I recommend you start making
breakfast a daily habit.

Even if you are not a “breakfast person” once you begin to train your body to use these nutrients to fuel your day you will start looking forward to it as
much as you do to your morning cup of coffee.

I’ll post a delicious healthy pancake recipe tomorrow to help you out.

Stay focused
