Check the Labels<br />
Be careful when<br />
you reach for foods<br />
labeled “healthy.”<br />
New research suggests<br />
if they have<br />
hidden high levels<br />
of sugar, you may<br />
snack more. Previous<br />
studies have shown<br />
that sugary foods can<br />
make a person feel<br />
hungrier later in the<br />
day. But these latest<br />
findings reveal that<br />
people can exercise<br />
some self-control<br />
over sugar-driven<br />
hunger if they are<br />
given fair warning<br />
through product<br />
packaging. So, read<br />
your labels a little<br />
more carefully before<br />
you write foods off<br />
as “healthy.”<br />

Eating at<br />
Every Age<br />
Fad diets, buzzword diets and celebrity diets are all great – until<br />
they don’t work for your body. A new study revealed that a diet<br />
rich in protein and low in calories can help older adults with<br />
obesity lose more weight while maintaining muscle mass and<br />
improving bone density. Older adults often lose bone density<br />
and muscle mass when they concentrate on shedding weight.<br />

Dear Diary…<br />
The best trick for<br />
weight loss? A good<br />
old-fashioned food<br />
diary! Self-monitoring<br />
continues to be one<br />
of the leading ways<br />
to stick to a diet or<br />
lose weight, a recent<br />
study shows. The<br />
study, published in<br />
the journal Obesity,<br />
took a look at how<br />
142 people selfmonitored<br />
their diets<br />
through an online<br />
behavioral weight<br />
control program over<br />
a six-month period.<br />
Study participants<br />
who tracked each<br />
meal and snack<br />
they ate were more<br />
likely to lose weight<br />
than those who only<br />
tracked half or none<br />
of their meals. In just<br />
15 minutes per day,<br />
you can write your<br />
way to a healthier<br />
life.<br />

Drive-thru Diets<br />
Despite adding<br />
healthy additions to<br />
their menus over<br />
the last few years,<br />
fast-food restaurants<br />
are still not the best<br />
option. An analysis<br />
of the offerings at 10<br />
of the most popular<br />
US fast-food restaurants<br />
in 1986, 1991<br />
and 2016 demonstrates<br />
that fast-food<br />
entrees, sides and<br />
desserts increased<br />
significantly in calories<br />
and sodium and<br />
entrees and desserts<br />
in portion size over<br />
time. The study also<br />
showed that while<br />
the variety of entree,<br />
sides and dessert<br />
options soared by<br />
226 percent, new<br />
or discontinued<br />
items tended to be<br />
less healthy than<br />
those that are currently<br />
being offered.<br />
Skip the advertising<br />
myths, and find the<br />
healthy options.<br />
