Why am I so hungry in the morning?
Well, beyond the obvious fact that your stomach has been empty for several hours, it can be only one other thing. Eating a lot before you go to bed. If you go to bed after a big meal, your stomach is stretched a bit, and in the morning will remain so. As a result, more surface area and more room for food. Your stomach will demand the same quantity of food that you had the night before because it is still the same size.
Women, help your men get rid of that gut!
I know a few men who are not even beer drinkers and have a tremendous gut. What is so unappealing is that they are skinny and it looks so unbalanced. But heavier men just hide it better, so either way the gut is still there, and is quite uninteresting to gaze at and worse, get in the bed with.
Women, don't let your men get to that point. It is due to a lack of excercise and the large amounts of beverages they drink: soda, beer, coffee. Soda is addicting on many levels and it will be hard to find a substitute at first. He will deny he is addicted and will just say it is old age. It means he must work now because his metablolism is not like it used be when he was in his 20's. Tell him the daily walks to the 'fridge to the couch, then to the bed is just not enough. Tell him raising a soda can does nothing for his biceps. Take him for a walk around the block and make it a daily ritual.
Most men forget about maintaining their sex appeal as they get older. Some men have to work hard at it, some are just lucky but most men are lazy and don't care. Remember: Behind every man with a gut, is a woman who is starting to lose interest. It is up to you to help him realize.
Even though he may not show it, he will know you're right and he will appreciate the concern you have for him. Don't wait until it gets to a point where you are both so beyond caring about each other's health. Don't wait until something bad happens and then forced to do it. Be proactive, not reactive. The goal is stay as healthy as you can for as long as you can.

Summer is finally here, don't overeat at the BBQ
During the summer we tend to overeat at family BBQ's. There is always an abundance of burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, soda and beer. Overeating is a common event because of the comfort foods that go down way to easily.
Two things almost always occur at the family BBQ.
1. You will overeat to the point where you can't eat anymore and will feel very uncomfortable. Now if you are drinking a beer or having some wine, most likely your interest to continue will cease. As a result, the party is over and you just want to go home and go to bed. If not, you will wait for digestion to kick in so there is more room for the dessert course, and do the overeating process all over again.
2. You will overeat to the point where you can't eat anymore and will feel very uncomfortable. If you do want to continue to enjoy some beer or wine and maintain your buzz, you will have to drink so much more to maintain it. You will never really be able to keep up and will continue to feel disgustingly full and even more bloated. As a result, the party is over and you just want to go home and go to bed. If not, you will wait for digestion to kick in so there is more room for the dessert course, and do the overeating process all over again.
In either case, you will eventually go home and feel tired, full and the feeling will last many hours while you sleep it off.
The family bbq is a test of our will power and usually can be a breaking point. Try to think ahead and the yucky feeling you will get after you overeat. Try to eat small portions and not go up for seconds. If there is a salad, subsitute that for the second hot dog or a hamburger. Don't worry about the cheese on the burger at this point, avoiding your third hot dog is the main concern here.
If you are drinking wine or beer, maintain your buzz by eating much less. You will feel so much better and your night can be much more enjoyable. A bbq is a social event, don't let hog dogs and hamburgers ruin it for you. You have the power to control your intake, so utilize it and the result will gain you many rewards.
