TIPS
Eat every 2-3 hours (6-8 meals per day). If you’ve been following the typical nutritional advice of cutting back on calories and consuming no more than “three square meals” a day in the hope of shifting your fat-burning efforts into high gear, you may actually be throwing the whole process into reverse. According to scientists at Georgia State University, active folks who skimp on calories and eat infrequently (only three times a day) may be training their bodies to get by on less energy and therefore more readily storing unburned calories as bodyfat. Instead, these researchers and many others advise active people to eat frequently (about every three hours) to accelerate metabolism and maintain steady energy levels throughout the day. We have provided you with a sample seven day meal plan for you to look at.

“As I see it, every day you do one of two things: build health or produce disease in yourself.” – Adelle Davis

theme – passion
Definition-extreme, compelling emotion; intense emotional drive or excitement

Thoughts on Theme- Whatever you do–do it with passion. What is the point if you don’t? You could just slip by, but I don’t know if anyone has the goal to just slip by, unless they are in jail or worse (even they only want to slip by until they have an opportunity to do something bigger or better). Be aware of the infinite possibilities which surround us daily and take a possibility by throwing as much passion into it as you can!
