Part of my training for climbing the CN Tower in under 12 minutes involves losing fat weight to make it easier to zip up stairs quickly. This has made me focus on what I’m eating throughout the day.
It is very easy in North America to consume large amounts of calories yet still feel hungry. Being hungry early in the day may lead to a binge later in the day, followed by a slump in energy. Lack of energy makes it more difficult to concentrate, leading to lower grades (for those in school) or worse performance at work.
One of the United Way Toronto’s programs is breakfast for children in school. This keeps them full, which helps them focus, and helps them develop into productive, happy, creative adults.
