As summer approaches, we all want to get into our best shape, lose those unwanted pounds and fit into our summer clothes.   This goal also helps us control our long term risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.  As we age we can also have more trouble losing those unwanted pounds we accumulated over the winter months when we were hibernating from the cold.  Let's start by concentrating on decreasing the carbohydrates we consume in our diets and adding increased exercise to our routine.  You may have heard about this with the various diets on the market these days.  Have you heard the names "Atkins", "South Beach", and "low glycemic", to name a few?  They all focus on decreasing the carbs in your diet and this along with exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight and not crave certain foods that you tend to overeat.  The average person consumes 250-300 grams of carbohydrates per day.  These diets suggest decreasing your daily carb load to 20-30 grams per day to lose weight and then possibly moving it up to 40-60 grams of carbs per day to maintain your appropriate weight.  We should avoid or minimize the intake of certain foods such as pasta, potatoes, breads, cereals, rice, crackers, sugary drinks, high sugar fruits, ice cream, cakes and cookies.  If we do eat some of these foods, they should be made from whole grains.    Foods high in fiber are lower in carbs.  These are good for us!  One half of our plate at most meals should be filled with vegetables.  Fats in our diets should make up 30% of our diet and proteins 35%.  There are many new websites on the internet that can give you helpful hints to adhere to this diet.  Information is everywhere!  We also include some fun recipes in our monthly newsletter to help you with this.  Our weight management program "Reneu You" is based on the principles of healthy living on low glycemic meal plans. Pam Ronca our weight management specialist can set you up for success with any of our Reneu You Programs.
