		<description><![CDATA[This week, Dave Ingalls, CEO of <a href="http://www.zingbars.com/" target="blanks">Zing Bars</a> joins Romy and Michael to talk about the importance of maintaining safe, healthy blood sugar levels.

David and Romy talk about the importance breakfast plays in setting your blood sugar standard for the day, and how to avoid that "roller coaster" spikes and lows of your blood sugar during the day.

Eating enough fiber and protein every day can help your body safely burn off that extra glucose from carbs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, Romy checks in to hold Michael accountable for his exercise levels.

Regular exercise can have a major impact on your body's ability to burn more calories, and Romy runs down the difference between a sedentary person and an active person, taking into account a number of factors: age, height, weight, body composition (muscle mass), and daily activity levels.

Romy recommends using the online tool <a href="http://www.caloriesperhour.com/" target="_blank">Calories Per Hour</a> to calculate how many calories per day you should be consuming to maintain a target bodyweight based on your body size and activity levels.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, Romy, Michael and guest Ashley talk about the keys to motivation, how to get yourself motivated without relying on external validations, and maintaining that focus throughout the entire process and keep it going as part of the lifestyle change.

Sometimes, having all of the tools and knowledge at hand isn't quite enough. Expectations around instant gratification or quick results, wanting to lose the weight as fast as or faster than it was gained, and any number of other emotional states can cause people to lose focus or lose faith in the process can also have profound affects.

Find a way inside yourself to keep going.]]></description>

If you can do 30 minutes of moderate cardio first thing in the morning before eating breakfast, you can increase your body's fat-burning efficiency -- but you must eat immediately after exercising to avoid kicking into a false starvation mode.]]></description>
