Does eat oats....

    I will be returning to Canada in about 2 months. Because of this I'm trying to eat my way through my cupboards. So over the last week I've been eating steel cut oats every morning. Oats are no my favourite  food, but in a pinch they'll do. This has go me to thinking about how many people never bother to eat breakfast. Under normal circumstances that's a bad idea, but when you're trying to loose weight it's basically self sabotage.

    One of the keys to effective weight loose is to boost, or at the very least, maintain your metabolism. Skipping meals, or eating to little, will slow the metabolism. Basically when you don't eat frequently, or enough, your body thinks it's starving and will slow the metabolism to preserve it's energy reserves i.e fat.

     In other news, I may not be abel to post on Sunday. See, here in Japan it's Golden week. Long store short I have a week off, and will be traveling down to Shizuoka to visit with friends for a few days. I don't know what kind of computer access I will have there. I will try to post, but I make no promises.
