5 Energy Leeches That Will Drain You Of Life And Vitality

Energy is the precious currency for a high quality of life and for increased success with weight loss. Unfortunately, many people are sabotaging their energy levels and by extension, their longevity.

Perhaps your quality of life has been suffering from sub-par levels of energy and vitality? If so, I am here to lend a helping hand.

Here are common energy thieves that you need to avoid:

1. Body fat: The more fat your body is carrying the worse your insulin sensitivity will be. And insulin sensitivity is essential for being able to extract the most energy from your food. Low levels of insulin sensitivity will having you eating more and more food for less and less energy.

2. Having mini breakfasts: If your breakfast isn’t large, your energy will be small. Having a big breakfast is the best thing you can do to increase your energy immediately. And keep in mind that not eating breakfast affects the way you process food for the rest of the day.

3. Not drinking the right way: Hydration is critical for fat loss, digestion and high energy levels. The biggest mistake most people make here is hydrating too infrequently with large amounts of water. The best way to hydrate is with small amounts of water on a frequent basis.

4. A de-optimized caffeine intake: Caffeine does wonders when taken in the right dose. But most people are taking way too much here. The best way to correct this is to slowly reduce your caffeine intake to nothing. Then add in the smallest amount necessary for the desired effect.

5. Consuming too many healthy calories in one meal: Calories are calories, even if they are coming from healthy sources of food. And if you have too many calories in one sitting you will cause sugar spikes and subsequent insulin spikes.

Low levels of energy are not necessary. In this day and age, you have more than enough tools at your disposal to reach the body of your dreams. Just don’t forget that taking action is the most important part of the equation.
