Miss Breakfast at Your Peril!

Western countries such as the United States and Australia are leading the way in terms of overweight and obese people. Roughly half of the population does eat breakfast. But 90% of those that do eat breakfast eat the wrong thing. In fact it has been shown that eating breakfast away from home, like so many of us do, increases your risk of obesity by a whopping 137%! If you belong to the other 50% of people who do not eat breakfast at all then you are increasing your risk of developing obesity by, wait for it, 450%!

How to Stop Procrastinating, Get Motivated & Achieve

The exercise I’m going to show you is no joke. When I tried it out some time ago I had been very badly ill with Chronic Fatigue, lost my job and virtually failed at university. Through long struggle I had gotten my health back on track and was about to start studying for my degree by correspondence. Previously university had been the bain of my existence. It wasn’t a monkey on my back it was a gorilla that had me by the throat. I hated university with a passion. So I spent some time running through the above exercise to get motivated to just get the thing done. Well, it worked. It took me just 16 months to complete an entire degree. There is nothing special about me. I just knew of a technique to motivate myself and importantly I made use of it. This exercise helped me put procrastination to bed, get motivated and achieve. It worked for me and it will work for you.
