is add more fresh foods. [MUSIC PLAYING]

One of the big differences I always like to point out to people is the difference between energy versus stimulation.

I'm a big fan of more fruits, more vegetables, fresh sprouts, things like that.

The reason is they're very easy to digest. They also are packed with vitamins, minerals, enzymes,

00:38

antioxidants that fuel your body's own metabolic and energy pathways from the ground up.

On the flip side, you've got those high-sugar, high-caffeine drinks that bring you up quickly, but then bring you down.

So in terms of those are the kinds of foods we want to be sure to include at each meal and snack, I say always have something fresh

and always have some produce, because that is going to keep you energized as you go about your day.

But you also, of course, want to eat regular meals and snacks, because skipping meals in the name of weight loss, you're

too busy, you don't know what you should be eating, that's definitely going to bring your energy down.
