More Tips from Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook

| Salad with multiple foods and food groups |
I started reading Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook on
a flight to St. Louis for the
Junior League Annual Convention. The first part of my review is here:
Here are some more tips I picked up:
Page 64 – If you are not hungry for breakfast, you ate too
much the night before.
This was a big A-HA moment for me. I have heard from so many
people that they skip breakfast because they are not hungry. Cutting down on
food late in the evening might put breakfast back on the table.
Page 101 – Redefine the word ‘snack’ to mean ‘meal.’ Nancy
Clark is so right – the word snack (and treat) opens the gate for not-so-nutritious
foods to sneak into my diet. I wouldn’t
eat two cups of chips for a “meal,” but as a “snack” it might be OK – just a
snack, right? I will start to plan my snacks to include multiple food groups.
Page 106 offers advice for those who suffer from ‘snack
attacks.’ My husband and I call this being “hangry” – hungry and angry. I also
suffer from low blood sugar if I do not eat, which makes me reluctant and
unable to make quality decisions. I will take Nancy Clark’s advice and eat
BEFORE I get hungry if I am going to put myself in a situation where I forsee
becoming hangry.
