Power Eating

Power Eating

It's 11:30 a.m. You're in an important meeting. Your stomach growls
so loud that the speaker pauses to see just where that noise came
from.

You feel like crawling under the table.

You're trying to concentrate, but you feel weak. Unable to keep your
mind on your work. You're antsy. All you can think about is lunch.

Everyone piles down to the restaurant. You are so starving, you
order the bacon cheeseburger with fries. And they have this great
white chocolate cheesecake. Gotta try that!

Back to the meetings. An hour later, you can barely hold your eyes
open.

Have you had too many days like that?

Here's a great formula for getting through the marathon days in
top shape.

The night before a big day, eat -

Spaghetti with tomato sauce
Tossed salad
Bread
Lots of fluids (preferably water)
And get enough sleep.

For breakfast, eat-
Cereal with 2% milk
Banana
Low Fat Yogurt
Juice

If possible, grab some fruit or a power bar to eat during the morning
break. Drink water throughout the day.

You will be fine until lunch, and beyond.

At lunch, top choice is turkey and cheese on wheat and some fruit.
If that's not available, have a salad with chicken and cheese, like
a cobb salad, or a chicken ceasar salad, and a piece of bread.
Drink lots of water.

You'll run circles around the rest of them!

Yes, I hear all you "no carb" people screaming. Carbs are energy.
If you have high energy requirements, you must have carbs. We
all need carbs. You just have to be smart about the carbs you eat,
and when you eat them.

Besides, Atkins Died.
