Day 1: Health Tip

Almonds.  They are cheap, and an amazing source of goodness.  Buy some.  Eat a handful before meals.  In simple terms, this will prevent your body from the "sugar" levels spiking after a meal causing less fat gain.  It will curb your hunger slightly, kick start your metabolism, lots of good things.

Try it for a week.  See what happens.

The "proof:"
"Almonds appear to not only decrease after-meal rises in blood sugar, but also provide antioxidants to mop up the smaller amounts of free radicals that still result." (Jenkins DJ, Kendall CW, Journal of Nutrition)

Practical Tips: Don't just enjoy almonds as a between-meal or before-meal snack. Spread a little almond butter on your toast or down the center of a stalk of celery. Add a handful of lightly roasted almonds to your salad or chop and use as a topping for pasta, steamed or healthy sautéed vegetables. When eating foods with a higher glycemic index, including almonds in the meal can help keep your blood sugar under control.
