What are you REALLY craving?

The other night, I couldn’t stop thinking about Oreos. I needed oreos. Of course, I didn’t really “need” oreos. In reality I was craving comfort. It had been a hard, hectic day and I wanted to endulge and relax with my oreos. ..........

Pass the Cranberry Juice

Pass the Cranberry Juice

I recently had my yearly physical. I’ve never paid close attention to my blood cholesterol levels before but I was interested to know what they were this time, because I'm, uh, getting older. The nurse called me back the other day and all the levels looked good, except my HDL was a little low. When you think of cholesterol levels, your initial thought is “The lower the better.” Well, that isn’t always the case. There are two types of cholesterol in your blood: HDL and LDL. You want High HDL and Low LDL. For the best protection against heart disease, men want their HDL levels to be above 40 and women want theirs to be above 50. What am I going to do to raise my HDL levels?? I’ll tell you: .....

De-Fatting Your Food: How to Reduce Fat Intake

Most nutritionists agree that we should obtain no more that 30% of our daily calories from fat. For a person who normally consumes 2,000 calories a day, that’s about 600 calories from fat sources. When you consider that just one tablespoon of mayonnaise contains about 100 calories from fat, you can see how quickly fat calories can add up. The following tips are designed to help you “de-fat” your food for better nutritional health. .......

Follow Your Calorie Budget

Follow Your Calorie Budget

I don’t know about you, but I hate budgets. I hate to make one, and most of all I hate to keep one. Some people are great at keeping budgets. I, on the other hand am not. I don't record my purchases, withdrawals, or deposits. The problem is, since I don't write purchases down, it is very easy to forget about a few debit purchases, or checks that haven't cleared yet. It seems in order to be successful, the key is to keep a written record. So while I might not be so great at keeping a financial budget, I am quite good at following a calorie budget. ..........

For our Kid's Sake

The problem of obesity is not just ours. It is our children’s as well. Did you know that approximately 12 million children ages 2-19 in America are overweight? That is a lot! Who’s to blame? Our lifestyle is. We all spend way too much time in front of the T.V. and playing video games. What happened to running around outside all day? I was lucky enough to grow up in house that had a huge backyard, and lots of open space beyond that. My siblings and I hated to be inside. ...

Dairy Foods and Weight Loss

Dairy Foods and Weight Loss

Can it be that ordinary dairy products are the secret to successful weight loss? A number of studies recently have shown that people who consume more calcium (1200-1300 mg per day) in the form of dairy products are more successful at losing fat when following a reduced-calorie diet than those who consume less calcium (400-500 mg per day). The reasons remain unclear, but it seems that the calcium changes the metabolism in fat cells to reduce fat production and increase fat breakdown. The effect of calcium was even greater when consumed in the form of dairy products rather than supplements. ...........

The Truth About Fad Diets

Fad diets have been around for decades and draw so much attention and publicity because they promise a lot of weight loss, without much effort in a short amount of time.

The truth is that diets don’t work. They have a 95% fail rate. The most popular diets today: Atkins, South Beach, and The Zone are no exception. .....

Away with the Scale and in with the Tape

We live in a society that is fixated on pounds. The scale rules our lives. Yet, several studies have shown that the focus should be less on pounds and more on waist circumference.
