Another holiday season is behind us and a new year with
new challenges lies ahead. I would like to reach out to
all of those who are looking to set weight loss New Years
Resolutions and offer some helpful hints as you start
to watch those pounds come off. A question that I get
asked a lot is: “Why should I track calories or log what
I am eating” Research shows that only nine percent of
Americans accurately track daily calories and statistics show
that people who track calories lose twice as much weight
as others. If you do not track calories, you are likely eating
more than you think. Some of the main culprits are:
Picking and Nibbling
A few bites of your kid’s mac and cheese, a piece of
chocolate out of the office candy bowl, a few pretzels, etc.
These items can add up to more than 1,000 calories per day.
Liquid Calories
The calories in juice, soda, lemonade, sweetened iced
tea, flavored coffee, alcohol, and other drinks rack up the
calories quickly. Try low-calorie options like flavored water
and avoid adding sugar to coffee or tea.
Skipping Meals
Your body needs fuel on a regular basis. Those who skip a
meal usually overeat at the next one. When you go without
Yoga + Chocolate + Wine
Guided by Melissa Schoeller
January, 31st
5:30 pm
The Yoga+Chocolate+Wine experience highlights the sensual
exploration of taste as a secret gateway to the richer life
available in the present moment. Participants will taste a
variety of chocolates, and wines after a rich, yet accessible
practice of Yoga postures.
$25 per person or $40 for two -
registration required
You taste so much more of the
chocolate and wine. Even the
chemistry of your saliva is different
when you’re relaxed. The piece
of chocolate is a metaphor for
everything in life. When you’re in
the moment, everything is sweeter,
and richer.
eating for a long period of time your blood sugar drops,
zapping your energy. Plan snacks to keep your energy up
and hunger at bay.
Dining out
An International Food Information Council study found that
most people order meals based on taste and price rather
than nutritional value. Some dishes, however, can rack up
more than 1,500 calories. Even if you think you’re making
a healthier choice, there are often hidden calories in salads
and sandwiches from creamy sauces and toppings. Read
the calorie counts now provided in many menus before
ordering.
Portion Distortion
Do you think you can accurately eyeball a half-cup of
pasta or one ounce of cheese Many people routinely
underestimate how much they are really eating. Try
measuring your food for a week. You will have a much
better idea of how much food is enough.
Keep these tips in mind and your New Year’s resolution may
not be so daunting. If you would like more nutritional tips
I would invite you to meet with the Club’s Dietitian Lyndia
Enright. I look forward to seeing you around the Club and
in the Fitness Center this year.
