1. Eat within an hour of waking.
2. Recognize that increased stress may make you prone to eat more.
3. Make it a combo platter: good carbs, lean protein and healthy fat.
4. Eat less food more often throughout the day.
5. Get a good night’s sleep.
Bonus Tip: Get fit! You will truly increase your body’s capacity and be less fatigued. In addition, people who exercise for 150 minutes a week (which is just 30 minutes, 5 days a week) have been shown to sleep better than those who do not!

To all of our followers, patients, family members and friends….wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Remember, the gift of love is in your heart and it’s measured daily by your actions, not in the monetary price you pay or the size and amount of the gift you give on just this one day!
