Seriously....I really did like these!!
Dr. Abby Aronowitzsays says, "People would be better served by incorporating the following tips:"
1) Incorporate Snacks Into Meals: Including "preferred foods" reduces cheating; satisfaction with control. If ice cream is your passion, try a scoop of all natural flavors on a whole grain toaster waffle for breakfast; 300 calories of fiber, calcium, sugar, protein and fat satisfies appetite.
2) Control The Process: Focusing on lifestyle changes instead of weight loss avoids drastic temporary measures. Yo-yo dieting can increase heart disease, blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
3) Hunger And Satiety: Become more in touch with feelings of hunger and satiety. Leaving food on the plate because you've had "enough" can be a novel, life affirming experience.
4) Self Acceptance: Moderate lifestyle positively influences genetic blueprints permanently, instead of temporarily overriding set point, and watching weight bounce back. Not the body of your dreams, but your personal best. Offer respect -no insults!
5) Go Natural: A new generation of health food without transfats bears no resemblance to their cardboard or Styrofoam flavored ancestors. For specific recommendations of delicious "healthy junk food" please contact Dr. Aronowitz.
6) Enjoy Movement: Instead of sweating it out five times a week 'till you burn out and quit, try incorporating enjoyable activity once or twice a week forever. Not what experts recommend, but doable!
7) Cope Effectively: Healthy coping strategies can replace emotional eating.
8) No Diets; New Lifestyle: The two-part system of dieting to lose it, and subsequently trying to maintain the loss, ultimately fails most people. Create one reasonable lifestyle that will last forever.
...YEAH, what she said!
