Mary: Well Lloyd, that’d difficult to say… I mean, we don’t really…


Lloyd: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you Mary. The least you can do it level with me. What are my chances?


Mary: Not good

I am pretty sure this is an old rule for eating healthy, but I’ve just started doing it this week. To keep your metabolic rate high, you should eat frequent, small meals throughout the day. You should also include three key ingredients at each meal; a source or protein, carbohydrates, and good fat… This is the part I added this week. Not only is it great for my metabolism, but it keeps me feeling fuller longer. It’s fabulous! Does anyone have healthy eating tips they can share?
