Choices for Controlling Carbs and Sweets

Posted: Jan 23 in Blog tagged by

1. Stop entirely – toss the bad stuff, clean the cupboards and eliminate the starches and sweets entirely. Start planning your meals and eating (something with protein) every 3 hours to keep your sugar’s stable and minimize cravings.

2. Wean- Chromium Piconate over the counter can be helpful with cravings. Please talk to me at your next office visit if you would like to learn more about chromium or other options. Get rid of the things that you can live without (like holiday cookies and bread) and wean from the things you feel that you can’t (like chocolate)

3. Substitute- Write down the problem foods and come up with healthy alternatives. Take a look at this list for example:

For Substitute
Chocolate Dark chocolate kiss, hot chocolate, fudge sickle, sugar free pudding, protein bar
Ice Cream 100 cal desserts, frozen yogurt, low fat shake, Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich
Potato Chips, Doritos, etc. Popcorn, rice cakes, soy snacks, baked chips
Sour Cream Low fat plain yogurt

Remember it’s a process. The first couple of days are painful (you are literally detoxing from these addictive foods) but as your energy creeps back up, you will realize that it is all worth it.

Obesity Predicted in Infants

Posted: Jan 17 in Blog by

Studies of infants have now shown that it is possible to predict a predisposition toward obesity as early as the first few months after birth. In the first six months of age, babies often grow more exponentially than ever in life. Some babies, however, add more weight than others even when the birth weight was about the same. Those children who move into the higher weight percentile are more likely to become overweight later in life than children who stay in the mid to lower on the weight percentile during those first six months. In other words, the rate of weight gain can predict the persistence of obesity for that child.

Pizza as a Vegetable?

Posted: Jan 11 in Blog by

With school lunches in their current state, the rising rate of childhood obesity is not much of a surprise. While many parents are pushing for their children to eat more and more vegetables, the fight for healthier choices has taken an odd turn—pizza is now considered a vegetable. Well more specifically, the tomato paste that is used to make tomato sauce that is on pizza now qualifies as a vegetable for public school lunch standards. This legislation comes as a response to a call for more vegetables present in public schools to provide children with more healthy lunch options.
