RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Most people, when they know they're going to have a large meal, or after they've had a huge meal, won't eat anything else that day. That's the worse thing we can do, because we've already over-consumed calories = body fat gain; then by starving the body the rest of the day, we slow down our metabolism (how fast we burn calories) = more body fat gain. Instead, eat something SMALL (unsalted/raw nuts, a banana, or plain Greek yogurt mixed with fresh fruit), every 3hrs to keep the metabolism fast.
