Eating Season…..and good news on Chocolate

Halloween marks the start of the traditional "eating" (or overeating) season.  There are two ways we typically deal with this season:  First, total abandonment, followed by a desperate attempt to recoup in January.  Second, over-regulation and deprivation resulting in stress.  Hmmmmmm  how about a middle ground?  Enjoy the rich natural foods of the the season (in moderation), and keep to a regular regimen of exercise —– preferably indoor cycling / spin classes!  Make the commitment now, and schedule yourself to exercise.  And guess what?  Click Here to hear some reserarch on chocolate as a GOOD thing.  We love finding this kind of information!  But moderate, moderate, moderate.

Chocolate and the Eating Season

Halloween starts the traditional "eating" (or "overeating") season.  There are two ways we typically deal with this season.  We either abandon ourselves to it and hope to recoup in January, OR we over regulate and deprive ourselves of the natural joys of good rich foods in the winter and pre-winter period.  How about a middle-ground……..good stuff in moderation, of course combined with regular exercise.  The pattern of a regular spin class or other exercise helps to keep us focussed and fit during the eating seaon.  By the way, CLICK HERE to hear more research on (moderate) chocolate consumption as a GOOD thing.  We love to hear this.
