Foods When You Are Stressed
When you are stressed, it is best to eat 1 cup of yogurt with a handful of nuts.. why? Yogurt provides "lysine" and nuts provide "arginine".
What NOT to do....
WE all love a Coke here and there; but when we are under stress, research has found that if you drink more than 20 ounces of soda a day, you are three times more times likely to be depressed and anxious, compared with those who drink less.
Want to Increase Your Metabolism?
We all know that green tea is one of the best teas to drink to receive the benefits of "powerful" antioxidants".. but did you know that if you drink more than 690 mg per day, you may have a smaller waistline and lower BMI? How you ask? Green Tea is full of one of the most powerful antioxidants, catechin. This powerful ingredient will set your metabolism on fire!!
WHAT NOT TO DO>> EAT NOTHING!
Yeppers, although, we think, oh, we are so disciplined, and do not have to eat a thang... honey child.. got news for yah! If you "starve" yourself, your body will naturally go into "survival mode" and will SLOW down your metabolism Therefore, you will NOT lose anything.. You need to rev up your metabolism with proteins and have a mini snack throughout the day.. Yogurt and nuts mid morning, and a boiled egg, or my fav. hummus and a veggie for a protein packed snack in the afternoon.

I have been trying to boost my metabolisn my eating lots of fresh fruits & veggies, yogurt, nuts, love hummus, exercising at least 4 times a week...and of course, taking over 600 mg of herbal green tea extract a day with my vitamins. It's unbelievable how much energy I have, how many inches I've lost, and not to mention...shedding 15 pounds in the process!!! I am proof that what you have mentioned WORKS!!! Keep up the great work!
