“There are Many Paths to Wellbeing”

Picture
Frequent readers of this blog know that I typically find the way in which the media reports on nutrition research to be lacking (and that’s putting it politely!). That’s why I was delighted to find this article from the Sydney Morning Herald. Not only does it discuss the fact that a study’s design and purpose inevitably affects it findings, but it discusses extensively the idea that there is no “right” diet for the general population. The dietary lifestyle that works for you is the one to which you adhere for the long term. Enjoy! www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/health-and-wellness/nutrition-research-this-year-shows-many-paths-to-wellbeing-20181217-p50mqd.html

Nutrition Trouble Spots - The Vacation

Picture
I LOVE vacations, but I need to be really careful that I don’t allow vacation eating to turn into a new routine. Many of us tend to go all or nothing with our dietary habits, so we either stick to chicken and broccoli on vacation or we fall off the wagon completely. Many people also tend to bring their vacation habits back into their day to day lifestyles. None of these mentalities lead to long term success. If we are too rigid and don’t allow ourselves to enjoy life, especially on vacation, we burn out and usually end up right back where we started. If we allow ourselves to go crazy while away, we usually can’t flip a switch and get back to the behaviors that will promote our goals when we get home. Rather, we carry those vacation behaviors when we return to everyday life. There are a few things that can help you bring balance to vacation eating. First, aim for two meals that look like what you would eat at home eat day, and allow yourself to enjoy one without regrets. Second, be active! Try to be as active or more active than you are at home. If you are more active, those relaxed meals won’t matter so much. Third, if you are going to drink, make a deliberate choice each time you have a drink. Finally, plan your reentry, and make sure you have a couple of days worth of meals prepared at home (frozen is fine!) so that you can get back into your routine when you return.

Nutrition Trouble Spots - The Friends

Picture
Being with friends often helps us relax and forget about work or other things that may be weighing on our minds. In many instances, however, friendships revolve around food and drinks, particularly ones where the friendships are of long duration and the individuals have developed different goals, mindsets, and lifestyles as the years have passed. How do you maintain friendships and a social life while meeting your fat loss goals? One thing you can do is plan a different activity for the group rather than stick to meeting for dinner and drinks. If you cannot get people to buy in to that concept, eat beforehand and order something light, offer to be the designated driver, and offer to make the dinner reservation, choosing a place that you know will let you stick to your goals.
