Sugar and your Diet

Sugar is a form of simple carbohydrate. While this makes it a nutrient, it is not to be mistaken for nutritious. Calories from sugar are often called empty calories because they are devoid of all nutritional value, but will still contribute to weight gain. In the United States, the average adult eats about three times more sugar every day than is recommended for good health.

Preparing for your First Workout

The best workouts are those with a clearly set plan and realistic goals. Taking time to consider your fitness goals before heading to the gym gives you a chance to learn different techniques, become mentally prepared for what you are going to do and figure out the logistics of how you’ll do it.

Figuring Out your Healthiest Weight

This is a complicated process for a lot of people. For one thing, Hollywood projects an image of “thinness” and “healthy” that is highly warped. Celebrities who are border-line malnourished are bombarded with paparazzi attention every time their jeans look a tad too tight. This idealized concept of an optimal weight is not something that you should aim for. Instead, focus on working towards a healthy weight level for your height, build and activity level.

Understanding GMOs as you Lose Weight

In recent months there has been a lot of talk about GMOs and ways to avoid them in our food. While a growing number of people now hold a generally dissatisfactory opinion of GMOs, not many people actually understand what they are. There are a large number of people who think avoiding GMOs is similar to avoiding other common dietary ne'er-do-wells, like trans fats or sugar. However, this isn’t the case.

Emotional Eating: Breaking the Cycle

Have you ever wondered why the way we feel has such a profound effect on our appetite and eating behavior? Happiness, loneliness, depression, boredom, fatigue, stress and guilt are more powerful appetite stimulators than being "physically" hungry.

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?
