See you soon! www.ultimatekick.com[/learn_more] In this day and age when most people want what is most convenient and fast 
when preparing their food, people neglect to do a very simple task to ensure they are eating healthy...reading the label! The label provides very important information, such as how many grams of fat, protein, carbohydrates, and sugar the food contains as well as how many total calories there are per serving. Also important is the information regarding the ingredients of the food.
Avoid foods that contain any of the following ingredients: high levels of sugar, high fructose corn syrup, enriched flour, partially hydrogenated oil (trans fat), and animal fat (saturated fat). By becoming a label reader, you will be better informed and better able to ensure you are eating the healthiest foods possible to maintain a healthy lifestyle and live your best life!

Health Tip: Eating More Often = More Energy
An extremely important component in maintaining your fitness is how often you eat. The ideal diet includes eating smaller, healthier meals every two to fours hours, which equates to eating four to six times a day. Why eat so often? Eating smaller meals more often helps the body sustain energy throughout the day and helps to increase the body's metabolic rate, which increases the body's ability to burn fat and calories. Not only will you have more energy to enjoy life to the fullest and maintain your fitness, you will burn fat and calories at the same time! What could be better!?!
