Meal 2- Mid-morning
Usually if you go all morning without eating anything significant you are starved by lunch. That is not a good thing since you will always overeat when you are that hungry. So what we are doing by putting a mid morning snack/meal in your diet is alleviating the starvation reflex and also helping to keep your energy level up by keeping you blood sugar fairly level. This makes you feel better and boosts your metabolism.
Depending on how hungry you are at this point in the day, you can eat a variety of things. For instance, if you are not very hungry, eat a small apple and drink a glass of water with it. If you are more hungry or you have a job where you are expending a lot of energy, eat an apple and 1/2 a bagel with some natural peanut butter on it. Same deal with the water- a glass of water really helps you from over eating since you need it and it helps you feel full. You want to try to keep the calories to around 200, so if you want to eat a protein bar- like a Balance Bar, that’s OK but make a habit of looking at the nutrition label so you know what and how much you are eating.
