Five Things You Shouldn’t Do On An Empty Stomach

9/20/2019

Apologizing for the things you said when you were hungry is a part of life for some people. Other than lashing out at loved ones, what else should you avoid when you’re famished and running on empty?

1. Buy Groceries
You’re more likely to buy things you don’t need and high calorie foods if you shop while you’re hungry. Stick to the plan and don’t let your grumbling stomach make all the decisions.

2. Drink Coffee
Coffee on an empty stomach can lead to a stomachache due to its acidity.

3. Drink Alcohol
Yeah, you’ll get a buzz real quick imbibing on an empty stomach but you’ll also lower your blood sugar to dangerous levels that can lead to passing out.

4. Eat Spicy Foods
With nothing else in your stomach as a buffer, spicy foods can lead to an extra intense burning in your stomach.

5. Make Big Decisions
Hunger makes you impatient, impulsive, and choose things that offer quick fixes, so avoid making important decisions on an empty stomach.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
