Eating a full English breakfast CAN help you lose weight: Protein - not cereal or fruit - is best for preventing hunger pangs

A hearty sitting of foods like sausage, egg or bacon for the first meal of the day helps to curb hunger throughout the morning and cut the number of calories eaten at lunch time

30 Ways To Make Life Simple Again

simple lifeWe get together with friends and always talk about how life was so much easier when we were younger. The truth is, life is still easy and it will always be. The fact is that as we get older, we end up complicating life for ourselves. When we were young, we saw the world around us through simple eyes. All this changes as we get older, as we begin to be affected by negative influences, as we stumble and fall and go through experiences. We make our lives so difficult over a course of time that we end up losing touch with who we are and what we need. KEEP READING

Focused Breathing.

                       Benefits:

Focused breathing helps to maximize your energy 
intake, while keeping the mind "in the body" and 
clear of distracting, self-limiting thoughts. This
is a natural relaxed state of peak performance.

        Here's how Focused-Breathing                 

The breathing cycle for this exercise is divided 
into three parts, each part getting a set number
of counts:

    Inhale (2 counts)
    Hold the breath (2 counts)
    Exhale (4 counts)

Once you're comfortable with this method, you can
attempt to apply it to your activity. As an example, 
for walking:

    Inhale for 2 steps
    Hold for 2 steps
    Exhale for 4 steps

Ultimately, you want to find a pace and count that 
you can maintain and that feels natural. As you 
become more adept with this technique, try and 
increase your counts while keeping the same ratio. 

For example, inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, 
exhale for 8 (or 6, 6 and 12). Experiment and find a 
combination that works well for you.

        When should you use this?

Try focused breathing during your next workout or
before your big presentation.

You'll feel more centered, grounded and calm to
better handle your task.

                        Why?

There's no way you can think about yesterday or
tomorrow when you're concentrating on your
next breath.
