CALORIES CONSUMED FROM BOREDOM!

There's no doubt that many of us eat simply because we can! Sometimes we are not even hungry in the least but we simply need something to do with our hands! Not good and can you imagine the extra calories not needed that we have consumed over the years!

No doubt that's where many of the extra pounds first began to appear! Well, that's exactly why we chose our grabby Octopus as our logo! That's who we become when we randomly reach for food throughout the day. Food that our body doesn't require and foods that add up big time in creating extra fat on our body.

We must break the cycle of random eating and tie up a few of our tentacles! That's right, handcuff them if you have to do but we simply cannot eat everything we see throughout the day. It's not good for us and we certainly don't need the extra calories all throughout the day.

It's important to start off the day with a good balanced breakfast, all while knowing your overall caloric count for the day. This way you can mentally break up how much you're going to eat at each meal. Surely, you have to know your count or you won't be guaranteed to lose weight in most cases. We'll discuss knowing your count in another post but it is important in order to achieve weight loss and maintaining your goal weight once your goal weight is achieved.

Breakfast is important for many reasons. One simple fact is that your body has not had any fuel for several hours and you're pretty much operating on empty unless you refuel at the start of the day.

Another reason breakfast is important is due to the fact that it is the start of the balance of eating for the remainder of the day. We balance three meals out with a healthy mid-afternoon snack. Imagine a clock. 8:00 am - 12:30 pm - 6:00 pm. We can add in a mid-morning or mid-afternoon healthy snack to hold us over until our next meal time. This also prevents us from becoming FAMISHED! Eating on time regulates our body so that we are not uncomfortable in between meals. Of course, we cannot always stick to the times mentioned above but try to find your own areas as close as possible without going over 4 hours without eating throughout the day. That's why we have those little snacks!

Our grabby Octopus is not regulated when we're overweight or obese. In most cases, it eats anything in sight. Yep, when we eat like this, we are treating our body like a Human Garbage Disposal. Suffering from Human Garbage Disposal Syndrome is no fun for sure. Our bodies are simply not meant to take in all the extra calories we consume when we eat in a random manner.

That's why it is so important to set up a healthy eating and fitness pattern for life. We can most certainly "TAME OUR INNER OCTOPUS" and "CURE OUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL SYNDROME!"

We did it; you can do it too!
