What Are Your Energy Leaks?

Stress is part of our lives whether we like it or not. But understanding what stress does to us can help us manage it in more healthy ways. Today, I talked with Sue Ann Gleason of Conscious Bites Nutrition where she shared some great tips. Here are a few tidbits from our conversation from today's show:

• Stress is often what keeps us from losing our belly fat
• When dealing with picky eaters, use the 3 bite rule
• For ideas on getting kids to eat more fruits and veggies, Sue Ann recommends "The Sneaky Chef to the Rescue
• Use Quinoa pasta instead of whole wheat pasta to elevate nutrition.
• The higher the quality of the food we eat, the less we eat.
• When you involve the kids in the food preparation, including shopping for it, it instills a sense of curiosity that will encourage them to eat more.
• Healthy eating and nutritious foods are part of a long process.
