It's 11:30 a.m. You're in an important meeting. Your stomach
growls so loud that the speaker pauses to see just where that
noise came from.
You feel like crawling under the table.
You're trying to concentrate, but you feel weak. Unable to keep
your mind on your work. You're antsy. All you can think about
is lunch.
Everyone piles down to the restaurant. You are so starving, you
order the bacon cheeseburger with fries. And they have this
great white chocolate cheesecake. Gotta try that!
Back to the meetings. An hour later, you can barely hold your
eyes open.
Have you had too many days like that?
Here's a great formula for getting through the marathon days in
top shape-
The night before a big day, eat -
* Spaghetti with tomato sauce
* Tossed salad
* Bread
* Lots of fluids (preferably water)
* And get enough sleep.
For breakfast, eat-
* Cereal with 2% milk
* Banana
* Low Fat Yogurt
* Juice
If possible, grab some fruit or a power bar to eat during the
morning break. Drink water throughout the day.
You'll be fine until lunch, and beyond.
At lunch, top choice is turkey and cheese on wheat and some
fruit. If that's not available, have a salad with chicken and
cheese, like a cobb salad, or a chicken ceasar salad, and a
piece of bread. Drink lots of water. At least one glass every
2 hours.
You'll run circles around the rest of them!
Yes, I hear all you "no carb" people screaming. Carbs are energy.
If you have high energy requirements, you must have carbs.
We all need carbs. You just have to be smart about the carbs you
eat, and when you eat them. You can learn more about it when
you read "I've Got a Thin Attitude."
Besides, Atkins died, allegedly from the side effects of his own diet.
