PART 1: MEAL SPACING When your mother told you "breakfast is the most important meal" she was on the right track. Do not under estimate the importance of breakfast and EVERY meal throughout the day to reach your body confidence goal. 

When we skip meals, the body thinks we are depriving it, thus going into "starvation mode" and sending the body into FAT STORAGE overdrive.


Below are tips to put you back in the driver's seat on the road to you optimum weight:


  • Boost Metabolism & Control Blood Sugar Levels by eating every 3-4 hours whether you’re hungry or not. 

  • When we ingest carbohydrates, they are digested in the stomach, then absorbed into the bloodstream in the form of glucose (blood sugar). 

  • As blood glucose levels rise, the body secretes insulin. 

  • Normal blood glucose levels are between 80 and 120 mg/dl. 

  • When levels drop below this range, we feel hungry, and possibly fatigued, light- headed/headaches, and moody. 

  • If levels continue below 80 mg/dl, the body reacts by slowing down the metabolism to conserve energy.

  • This is why skipping meals to “lose weight” does the exact opposite. 

  • Additionally, when the glucose levels rise above 120 mg/dl, the residual glucose is stored as fat. 

  • This is why controlling blood glucose levels throughout the entire day by eating every 3-4 hours maintains a high metabolism and therefore minimizing fat storage.

ABOUT LEISA HART


You likely know me from my Buns of Steel® workouts, and have the impression that my life is all smiles and no stress. ​ I've been truly blessed by the tremendous success of my career with Warner Brothers and then owning my own Yoga Studio, but it all came with a price.


Along the way, I took on far too much and hit many road blocks that took a hazardous toll on my health -  physically and spiritually.  The storm was a mix of a hip fracture, back surgery, an RA (rheumatoid arthritis) diagnosis, chronic pain, sleep deprivation and anxiety. 


I had to take a huge step back and reevaluate my my path. I had to slow down. Tremendously. And not even by choice, but rather survival. Now, I'm proud to say that I've weathered the storm and am stronger than I've ever been.


I've learned SO much along the way and am honored that you're here for me to share my journey of self love, stress & toxin reduction, anti-inflammatory nutrition, simple fitness routines & more!
