Tried & True #5

Eat your carbs and fruits toward the beginning of the day and veggies and protein later. This gives your body more time to burn the sugars. And since excess sugar is what turns into fat, the earlier we eat it, the better. Your body does need carbs though. Eat them, but eat them wisely. Seriously, don't eat a cupcake or cookies then go to bed. Then they really will go straight to your tush!
