Staying Positive

Renee — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:50:02 +0000

January begins a New Year and millions of Americans plan to lose weight and by February 15th, the day after Valentine’s Day they quit.

Why do so many quit?

The Key is Staying Positive.

There will be ups and downs in life, however, it’s how you approach the downs will determine your progress.

1. Be committed-Stay on track

2. Work with a partner. People who have an accountability partner are more likely to succeed in their weight loss program.

3. If you fall, jump back on the horse. No one is perfect, but if you are willing to stay on the path. You will WIN.

4. Set realistic goals. SMART Goals-

S=Specfic. Don’t try to lose 10 pounds in one week. Losing one pound per week is better and you will not fail.

M=Make sure the goals are measurable. By decreasing your portion sizes. You can see the results.

A= attainable. It is easy to measure and lose one pound in one week than 10 pounds.

R=reasonable. Cutting back on portion sizes is easier than counting calories.

T= By setting a time frame, will hold you committed. To say I want to lose weight, is not reasonable. To say I want to lose one pound per week by cutting back on my portion sizes.: is better. this statment show a time and how to achieve the goal.

To Stay Positive is having the right attitude. Even in the valleys, you can win.

Six Ways to A Heart Healthy Kitchen

Instead of frying, try baking, broiling and/or steaming.
Instead of cooking with fatback and lard, stir-fry your greens with onions and garlic.
Instead of using regular salad dressing, use fat-free salad dressing.
Instead of fruit pies, bake an apple with raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Instead of mashed potatoes with whole milk, prepare them with low-fat, low-sodium broth and butter.
Instead of salt, use more flavorful herbs and spices.

Think of your kitchen as a healthy center. Your health depends on what you buy and how you prepare the foods you eat. When reducing the fat in your diet, add more herbs and spices to replace the flavor. Add dried fruit to rice when cooking for the flavor and texture.

Take One Day at A Time

Renee — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:42:43 +0000

Every year millions of Americans start a new diet in January and by February call it quits. As a registered dietitian, I tell my clients to take one day at a time. Don’t start out cold turkey by giving up everything at once. Start with decreasing your dining out meals to once a week. You won’t believe how much money you will save and how many calories you won’t consume by eating out everyday!
