Weight Loss Hint--Healthy Restaurant Food Strategies
Dining out is not a race, or a contest, or a chance to solidify your membership in the Clean Plate Club. It's a chance to enjoy yourself and a good meal. Guilt can ruin everything. You can choose to not feel guilty (not likely for many of us), or you can give yourself less to feel guilty about. A few small eating strategies will make your experience away from home a positive one and help you build momentum for next time.
- Eat your lowest calorie items first. Vegetables are always a good place to start.
- Eat the amount you would eat at home. Just because it's on your plate, it doesn't mean you have to eat more.
- Eat slowly, take your time. Enjoy and savor one bite at a time. Put your fork down between bites, or take a sip of water.
- Concentrate on the conversation, not your food. If you're talking, it takes longer to eat and helps you feel full before stuffing yourself.
- When half of your food is gone, stop a moment and ask yourself this question: "Am I hungry?" It sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how often the answer is "no." If so, why keep eating? Think of it this way, would you enjoy stuffing yourself now more than having the same delicious meal again tomorrow when you're actually hungry again?
- Don't pick at your food after you've decided that you're done. Cover your plate with a napkin, pour salt and pepper on it, or put your utensils on the plate, making them messy.
- Keep your hands busy with something besides your utensils. Read a newspaper or write a note - or simply hold hands with your date!
- Chew some gum or have a mint after you're done.
- Give the restaurant manager feedback on their ability to meet your dieting needs. They're in the business of pleasing all of their customers, not just the ones who crave fatty, breaded, gooey foods.
Keep a personal notebook of healthy dishes and restaurants. If you found a good option, keep it on file. Refer to the notebook when deciding on your next dining out experience.

Nutrition Hint--Eat Soup Out Of A Box
Want to develop a single habit that will lower your risk of heart disease, brain cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and infertility?
Give up canned goods forever.
A slew of studies over the past decade have implicated bisphenol A (BPA), the chemical used to make the linings of canned goods as well as hard plastics and thermal receipt paper, in all these diseases, yet the Food and Drug Administration and many canned food companies refuse to ban it from their food lines. Some companies are seeking out replacements, but they aren't disclosing what they're using, and those alternatives could be just as bad (or worse) than BPA. Opt for soups and other products in boxes, which are BPA free, or in glass jars, if that's your only alternative.

Metabolism Retraining Hint--Is There Enough Swivel In Your Stride To Help You Lose Weight?
Walking is one of the safest and most effective sports for fitness, but to become fit, you have to move fairly fast. You should exercise vigorously enough to increase your heart rate at least 20 beats a minute more than when you rest. Walking at a leisurely pace will not raise your heart rate very much. You can increase your speed by taking longer steps or by moving your feet at a faster rate.
To lengthen your stride, swivel your hips so that you reach out further forward with your feet. This causes you to twist your body from side to side, which forces your toes to point to the outside when your feet touch the ground. By pointing your feet forward after your heel strikes the ground, you will gain a few inches. To move your feet at a faster rate, you have to move your arms at a faster rate also. Every time one leg moves forward, the arm on the same side moves back and the arm on the other side moves forward. For every step forward, there is an equal number of arm movements forward. To move your arms faster, you have to keep your elbows bent. The fulcrum of your arm swing is at your shoulder. The straighter your elbows, the longer your arms swing as a pendulum from your shoulder, reducing the frequency of arm swings. Bending your elbows shortens the swing and allows you to move faster.

Bonus Recipe--Salsa Fresca (fresh tomato salsa)
If everyone knew how easy it was to make their own salsa, it may lose its place as the top-selling condiment! Use this Salsa Fresca with chips, on nachos, in tacos, on salads, or alongside grilled meats.
Combine chopped tomato, onion or red onion, a bit of garlic if you like, a hot chile pepper or two depending on how spicy you like it, salt to taste, and chopped fresh cilantro if you like it. You can splash on a bit of fresh lime juice or red wine vinegar, if you're so inclined.
How much of each? Well that is what makes salsa fresca so fabulous-it really depends on how you like it and what you have on hand. I find 4 tomatoes, a half an onion, a small clove of garlic, 1 chile, and a handful of cilantro suits me and my taste, so you can start there, play around with it, and find your own favorite combination. |
