  • Try adding some fiber in to your breakfast. Fiber + water = full stomach for longer.

  • One suggestion from my nutritionist: try to eat at least 20g of protein with your breakfast. It gets your metabolism going in the morning. Also, agreed that your sodium goal is a little high. Try bringing it down to 1500.

  • I have the same problem when I'm at work. I try taking a quick 3-5 minute walk to clear my head. Breathe deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth. You can also repeat a two syllable word as you're breathing to help you focus. I use Relax. Breathe in "re", breathe out "lax". It really works well for me. My…

  • I like Bolthouse Farms Protein Shakes. You should watch out for any shakes/bars that have salt or anything hydrogenated listed in the ingredients.

  • Drink lots of water and try and keep your sodium below 1500 mg/day. Also, make sure you are getting plenty of protein: this will help build muscle as you lose the fat. Good luck!

  • Thank you everyone, for all your kind messages! I can tell I'm going to like it here :smile: I took a 12 week class with the nutritionist that taught me all about the right way to eat and how different foods affect my body. I'm going to try and be more mindful of those lessons. She was a big advocate of "Don't worry about…
