		<title>Fiber Facts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fiber

Even though fiber is considered a “quality carbohydrate” I thought I’d create a section for it because it’s so important.

Fiber has been linked to help prevent breast and colon cancer and it may also help lower the LDL cholesterol, which can help prevent heart disease.

Soluble fiber partially dissolves in water and is also good at combating Irritable Bowel Syndrome.  It moves bulk through the intestines and controls intestinal acidity.   ]]></description>

		<title>Tips to Stop Late Night Eating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Be sure to eat 3 good meals during the day with 1 or 2 between meal snacks. Most people try to eat too few calories during the day only to binge late at night. A good insurance policy is to eat most of your calories before 6 PM.

2. When you feel the urge to eat late at night, try drinking 2 or more cups of water. You can also make a cup of herbal tea sweeten with honey or artificial sugar. Hot liquids have a soothing effect on emotions and appetite.

3. Remind yourself that it's normal to feel hungry late at night due to habitually eating late. Breaking this habit is like learning to quit smoking. Remind yourself of your goal to lose 20 or 30 pounds and the key to losing this weight is to STOP late night eating.]]></description>

		<title>10 Ways to seriously boost metabolism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Build lean body mass. As mentioned above, metabolism slows as we age – by as much as two percent a year! But there is something you can do to counterbalance nature. “Muscle is the single most important predictor or how well you metabolize your food, how well you burn calories and burn body fat,” insists Shari Lieberman, author of Dare to Lose. Strength training with dumbbells or resistance bands at least twice a week is essential to boosting your metabolism. Repeat – essential. And here’s the really good news: Your metabolism stays pumped for many hours after you finish your workout.

2. Get moving. You know the drill, but here’s a reminder. At least 30 to 60 minutes of walking, jogging, cycling, swimming or some other form of aerobic exercise a minimum of three times a week is the other half of the exercise equation. “People don’t like to hear it but you have got to exercise,” says Lieberman.]]></description>
