Nutritional Choice of the Month - April 2009: “Nutrition Tips for Weight Loss”
Weight loss is typically one of the top reasons people seek out my services. This month, I thought I’d simply provide a simple list of useful weight loss tips to implement as we drive through the spring. Don’t look at the list and try everything. Simply undertaking one or two suggestions will make a difference.
PC Conditioning Weight Loss Tips
- Reduce your intake solid fats (i.e. butter and margarine)
- Reduce your intake of alcohol (sure, alcohol increases HDL [good cholesterol], but it contains far too many calories.
- Increase consumption of vegetables and fruits (this will increase your fiber intake)
- Use smaller plates (I know this may sound silly, but it has been proven to work)
- Look for the words “grilled, baked, and broiled,” as opposed to fried selections.
- Increase daily physical activity with a combination of strength and cardiovascular exercise (you know I had to mention this!)
