Revisiting the CARB CURFEW!!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  SET A CARB CURFEW!  It's SUCH a great way to shed that last couple of pounds that just seem STUCK to your mid-section :)

Although carbohydrates are an ESSENTIAL part of your diet (they provide energy, help your organs function well, & provide a vast array of nutrients!), they need not be consumed in the later part of your day.  So today's tip of the day:  Set a Carb Curfew!  Eliminate carbs @ dinnertime.  No need to fill up on food-energy that you won't be using....and since you won't be putting it to immediate use, a large portion of those carbs will be converted to fat and stored away.  BUMMER.  Skip out on the bread, rice or pasta and instead fill your plate with a source of lean protein, and at least 2 different dark-colored veggies (always try to fit in something green!) 

Let me know if you adopt this habit, and how it goes!  Success stories are the greatest proponent for a healthy lifestyle!
