January 2019 Resolutions...
from the desk of Susan Cutshaw, M.S.
Many New Year's resolutions focus on weight loss leading to diet programs that promise to drop pounds in a short amount of time. Research has shown that these types of weight loss plans fail miserably and may cause more harm than good. Experts suggest that common mistakes like setting unrealistic goals, skipping breakfast, or consuming too few calories may sabotage success. Instead, they suggest adopting an eating plan that provides results that can last a lifetime, not just a few weeks. Here are a few positive tips that may help.
-
Choose an eating plan that fits your lifestyle, and reduces added sugars and hidden calories
-
Keep a food journal; research shows that monitoring food intake will keep you on track
-
Increase consumption of veggies and fruits; a cup of raw spinach is only 7 calories
-
Consume 70 % of your calories before dinner; we are more likely to make better food choices during the day than at night when we're tired
-
Get more sleep; sleep helps maintain our immune system and can help our bodies lose fat instead of muscle loss
-
Limit alcohol; 5 ounces of red wine equal approximately 121 calories
Successful weight maintenance can be a lifelong challenge. Developing healthy lifestyle habits is the first step to your success.
