Dr. Ro  holds a Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences from Howard University and is author of Dr. Ro’s Ten Secrets to Livin’ Healthy (Bantam) – a best-seller praised as a top-ten diet book by USA Today.

Having survived the loss of her mother at age 9 to stomach cancer, she has researched and written extensively about how to break bad health habits – from eating high-calorie comfort foods and resisting exercise to giving up on health goals and taking on the negativity of saboteurs.

Dr. Ro says it takes only three weeks to form a new habit – an important note to women striving to replace bad habits with new healthy behaviors.

Here are a few tips from Dr. Ro about how to eat healthier and lose weight.

1. Eat first hour out of bed- Skipping breakfast negatively affects metabolism, makes you more likely to overeat, eat unbalanced meals, and consume more calories,

2. STOP Eating 3 hours before bed. Make your last meal/snack no later than 3 hours before bedtime.

3. Eat protein with every meal and start the day with protein on the plate.

4. Eat every 3-4 hrs. to speed up metabolism.

5. Limit/STOP eating sugar! It is a toxin that causes inflammation in the body!

6. Buy/eat sprouted, live whole grains- black, brown, red, & wild rice;

quinoa (sounds like keen-wa); spelt, millet… Think Ezekiel Breads & Cereals a popular brand of sprouted breads and grains.
