 Strong
food cravings generally don’t occur unless the body is
crying out for particular nutrients or fighting stress.
After 9 p.m. comes the major cravings. Also the stress
hormones peak at the end of the workday, making us think
that the junk food tastes great, hence our 3 p.m. race
to the vending machine. This week we bring you, Top 10
Night-time Food Temptations.
Catch up a one-to-one with Jennifer Nicole Lee, World
Number One Fitness Expert. In her message to WF visitors
around the world "Women need to focus on being strong,
strong physically and also strong mentally and strong
spiritually, a lot goes down the motivation, we can
diet, diet down and count the calories and exercise, but
if we were not strong spiritually we are not going to
have motivation to continue towards our goal." Click on

 Nutrition
is a very important part of getting 'big'. This should
be very simple to understand but still many people
don't. If you want to build muscle you have to feed them
- plain and simple. To gain mass you have to eat more
calories than your body needs - or at least the exact
amount that it needs for energy, repair, etc. (because
there is no way of knowing your exact needs it is wise
to eat a bit more than you feel you need). If you don't
your muscles will not grow.

Consider the Possibility
 Give
yourself consideration. Believe that you are worth any
investment where betterment is the outcome and know that
whatever might be promised is possible for you.
So often we consider ourselves the rule and never deem
ourselves as different from others but as soon as we
think of what’s possible suddenly we’re the exception.
The only requirement is the belief that you’re worth it.

 Most of us exhibit small gestures of self-control all day long. By the time dinner rolls around, our will power is heading towards a down slope and we experience “decision fatigue,” leading to impulsive food choices. After 9 p.m. comes the major cravings. Also the stress hormones peak at the end of the workday, making us think that the junk food tastes great, hence our 3 p.m. race to the vending machine.
Good eating habits erode as the day gets long, the health quotient of our meals dropping 1.7 per cent with every passing hour, these are the findings reported by a self-tracking app called the Eatery, which helps dieters and gluttons alike record and hopefully understand their eating habits.
