Part 4 - The 4 O'clock Slump Snack

It’s time to review our day. You’ve had your "Perfect Breakfast" Smoothie, a "Raw Crunch" bar, a Healthy Lunch (options under "Part 3 - Lunchtime" on my blog).

Now just grab another "Raw Crunch" bar or almond butter on sprouted wheat toast to get you through that 4 O'clock Slump.  Your dinner meal will greatly reduce in size and you well get an energy boost by having a snack between lunch and dinner. Remember, all meals/snacks on this plan should be within 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours apart. If you wait longer than that your blood sugar levels will drop and you will bing on crap later.  Don't miss any meal or snack that I have outlined on the plan!!!

It’s almost time for your "Dinner Meal of Choice". Pretty darn easy, huh?  Here’s just a few helpful hints:

1) Keep a container of purified water in your car at all times! You gotta stay hydrated and keep those toxins flowing out of your system. If you think you’re hungry, evaluate your water intake so far, you may just be low on fluids, so have a big glass of water and then evaluate your hunger level.  Add a few squirts of lemon juice if you need it flavored.

2) Keep additional fresh fruits around since they act as good filler foods in case of emergency. Their water content and bulk fiber also helps to calm the appetite.

3) If you are having trouble with constipation in the beginning increase your fluids!!!  You are adding all this extra fiber to your system and imagine fiber like a "soggy bowl of Raisin Bran" if you don't add water to the expanded fiber in your gut, it will have the opposite effect and clog you up.  You can also increase your Vitamineral™ Green a bit.
