New Years Resolution – Successful Weight Loss for 2013!

If you have made New Year's resolutions to lose weight in the past only to find that you have to make the same resolution the following year, then this article really is for you. Instead of a resolution to lose weight this year, don't you think it's time for something different? Because the resolution to lose weight often results in a short term weight loss followed by even more weight gain. All to often I see patients with a well-intended weight loss resolution end the year higher than when they started. Let's get off this merry-go-round and try something different for a change.

Key Ideas for HEALTHY HOLIDAYS!

With the season changing from a warm fall to a cooler winter, our bodies may desire more comfort foods. This time of year we crave things like warm cakes, gravy's, sauces, baked goods, buttery dishes and heavier caloric foods. In the Spring and Summer, lighter foods like salads and fruit may be more appealing. How HEALTHY can we be for the next two months? Here are some ideas to keep your weight in check during the colder months:

What about all these “PC” foods? or, “Why won’t junk food leave me alone?”

We already know that 300,000 people a year in the USA die from diseases of over-consumption: Diabetes, heart disease, lung diseases, cancers, high blood fats, strokes, osteoporosis and broken bones are caused or exacerbated by excess weight. How many of these deaths could be prevented if our grocery stores had a plethora of healthy foods and a paucity of purposeful crap?

Satisfying Snacks

Following an eating plan for long periods of time can be boring. So many of us use "just a little extra" food for entertainment, as a pick-me-up, to fill time, or as a reward for good behavior in other areas of our lives. Where do snack foods fit in? A healthy snack, ( in the perfect world), would fit into our daily food plan rather than blowing our calorie limits out of the water. It would be satisfying, but not lead us into more unplanned calories. What works for you?
