Studies have even shown that a lack of sleep can create hormonal changes in the body that cause you to crave carbohydrates AND store more fat in the abdominal area (e.g. the dreaded belly fat).
Follow these 5 steps and you'll have abundant energy all the time:
1. Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night. This is an absolute must if you want to be energetic and healthy!
2. Avoid simple sugars. Simple sugars boost your energy for a few minutes then you "crash" and feel horrible for the rest of the day.
3. Avoid refined/processed carbs. Most processed carb foods, including anything containing refined flours, act on your body much like simple sugars do. Keep your blood sugar and insulin levels stable -- and your energy levels high -- by avoiding them.
4. Eat protein with every meal ans snack. Including some protein in everything you eat helps to stabilize blood sugar so you avoid the "highs and lows" that usually come with eating carb-only meals.
5. Drink tea and yerba mate. Green tea and yerba mate are excellent "healthy" energy boosters. Drink a few cups in the morning, before workouts, and any other time you need some more energy!
