Foods That Harm Your Sleeping Pattern
What if you knew which foods had an immense effect on how well you sleep during the night? Would you want to know which foods improved your sleep and which foods placed a strain on your rest? If you are like millions of other people, the knowledge of these foods would be extremely beneficial to you. If you knew which foods kept you awake at night than you would know which foods to stay away from. In this article I will provide you with some of the foods which are responsible for disrupting our sleeping pattern.
Certain foods can serve as natural sleep aids while other foods can serve as sleep deprivation agents. That is why it is important to know which foods to eat at what hour. Certain foods should be avoided at all cost during the evening hours. One of these foods is protein. You should keep protein to a minimum at bedtime because this particular food group is hard to digest and it contains an amino acid that promotes brain activity. You should also avoid foods that are high in fat. Numerous studies show that consuming a lot of fat during the day will disrupt your sleep. Another important thing to be aware of is hidden caffeine. Caffeine can be found in hot chocolate, cola, tea, and decaf coffee.
And if you want to avoid taking all natural sleep aids, you should also stay away from heavy and spicy foods. Spicy foods are known to cause heartburn; whereas, heavy foods can make you feel uncomfortable throughout the night. And last but certainly not least is alcohol. A lot of people think that alcohol induces sleep because it makes you feel oozy; however, the truth is, you will awake numerous times during the night after consuming alcoholic beverages. These are just a few foods that should be avoided during the evening hours.

Trying to lose 55 lbs. please give advice on my foods.?
Here's the thing...I am trying to lose weight by watching my carb, fat and calorie intake. It is easy for me to eat the same foods everyday. I just do not get sick of fruits and veg. Here's an example fo what I eat:
1 serving yogurt,
1 c. strawberries whole
3 med. celery stalks w/ 2 tbsp natural PB
2 c. fresh spinach (salad) w/ 2 tbsp. italian dressing (-any good ideas on replacing the dressing?)
an apple
banana
1 cup baby carrots
a half sandwich (usually turkey (lunch meat)with mustard)-no cheese
1 oz white meat or fish
Reg. cottage cheese
snack on pumpkin seeds (non roastes/nosalt) all day
soymilk w/ whey protein added.
Of course, water - no juices/sodas. I get coffee in the morning (decaf) with that (really bad for you) international delight southern Butter Pecan creamer) no other milk or sugar, tho. Maybe this will be my next vice to go 
(
Is it possible to eat too many fruits/veg, am I? Walk 30 min. every day. (med speed) will it work?
Most people will say eat leafy green vegetables like celery and cabbage, as it takes more calories to burn them than are actually IN them. Dont miss the big picture, though. You have to burn more calories than you take in, or you wont lose anything, except your sanity,no matter how good you eat. Stay away from breads and cereals unless you exercise enough to burn the calories. So get outside and walk. Shoot a basketball. You can do it!
