All of my Physical Education classes will be meeting in the gym everyday unless told otherwise. My Health classes will be meeting in 313. I'm available before or after school or on my off periods for extra help, make-up work, or to discuss any problems you may have in school or outside of school. I will be in room 209 if you need to get in touch with me.

Coach Doyle's Appitite Cut Offs
Ten Brain Smart Tips!
1. Drink 64 ounces of H2O daily - 8 cups of water - and even more when working out!
2. Hunger pain - drink water.
3. Graze sensably - don't over endulge.
- this keeps insulin levels steadier and lower bloodsugar levels lower
- brain doesn't signal an urgent need for more food
4. Soup it up! Less calories (depending on the soup - read your food labels)
- calories come from carbs rather than fat (cheese, crackers)
- carbs are more satisfying to brain
5. Rice/potatoes/corn/pasta
- high in complex carbs - low in fat
- satisfy appitite with lower calories
- most fuel source - glycogen with these foods
- a couple thousand calories of glycogen - the body can store - mostly in the liver and muscles -
this compared to over 100,000 calories that can be stored as fat!
- high fat foods don't switch off the "eat" message as effectively as foods high in carbs
- carbs switch off the hunger more quickly
- eat a couple servings of grain (bread, cereal, pasta) 20 min. before going out to eat curves appitite
you'll wind up eating less food
6. Say "si" to spicy foods
- It's hot so we eat less
- spicy food speeds up the metabolic rate
- the faster the metabolic rate the more heat produced by the body
* remember whatever warms you up, in turn slims you down
7. Feast on fiber (barley, oates, beans, apples, root veggies, carrotts, citrus fruits)
- satisfaction begins at the mouth/ fibrous foods provide robust mouthfuls that must be chewed thoroughly
- it's a natural way to slow down eating and eating slower means less food
- 30 - 35 chews per bite for every bite please
- fiber takes up alot of room in the stomach - this fills stomach volume and reduces appitite
- stomach feels full longer
8. Eat simply
- if entertaining limit entrees and side dishes to one each at every meal and look for enjoyable ones ( pot meals)
9. Out bike your appitite
- got the munchies
- take a walk,ride an exercise bike, get outside, get some fresh air, jog, jump rope, jump up and down,do somethig ( any activity will do)
- regular exercise reduces the appitite
- this curves the upward spike that has been associated with increase in appitite
10. Ask yourself why?
- before you put that fork or handfull of whatever in your mouth - ask yourself why you want to eat - you may think twice
- don't let stress or depression make you eat (important note - if your turning to food in response to bad feelings it's important to develope a strategy to feel better)
- before bitting ask yourself "how do I feel right now?" What happened to me this week to upset me? Take yoga for D's sake!
11. EXTRA BONUS Know your triggers!
- sound and smell of sausage. The crunchy texture of popcorn
- the smell, sight, sound and even texture of foods are our most powerful triggers to eat and to over eat
- play softer music, take smaller bites, enjoy food more, it tastes better.
