So it is the day after a holiday... is this what your plate looks like today? No of course not
your plate is as full as yesterday with leftovers. You can't take back all the damage from
overeating and to be honest with you, you probably will not see the effects of what you ate
for another 2 days or so.... The body will catch up with you. So what can you do to avoid
making this into a week of overeating? You can make yourself a promise that in January you
are going to change or you can take control of yourself now before January and have a
head start on a new way of life eating plan. It can be done. So where to start?
Well...Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or
depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more
energy, stabilizing your mood, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible– all of which can
be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you.
You can expand your range of healthy food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create
and maintain a tasty, healthy diet....To set yourself up for success, think about planning a
healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If
you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet
sooner than you think.
Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion
sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. This way it should be
easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that
incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more
delicious.
Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet
healthy overnight is not really realistic or smart. Changing everything at once usually leads
to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full
of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil
when cooking. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy
choices to your diet.
Every change you make to improve your diet matters. You don’t have to be perfect and you
don’t have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet. The long term
goal is to feel good, have more energy, and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don’t let
your missteps derail you—every healthy food choice you make counts.
Think of water and exercise as food groups in your diet.
So what alcoholic drinks are you drinking?
Change it up read more on what alcoholic drinks are best for dieting and calorie control!
Click here.
Water. Water helps flush our systems of waste products and toxins, yet many people go
through life dehydrated—causing tiredness, low energy, and headaches. It’s common to
mistake thirst for hunger, so staying well hydrated will also help you make healthier food
choices. Click here to read more about the benefits of water.
Exercise. Find something active that you like to do and add it to your day, just like you
would add healthy greens, blueberries, or salmon. The benefits of lifelong exercise are
abundant and regular exercise may even motivate you to make healthy food choices a habit.
Moderation is key Click here to find exercises that work for you.
People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation
for any healthy diet is moderation. But what is moderation? How much is a moderate
amount? That really depends on you and your overall eating habits. The goal of healthy
eating is to develop a diet that you can maintain for life, not just a few weeks or months, or
until you've hit your ideal weight. So try to think of moderation in terms of balance. Despite
what certain fad diets would have you believe, we all need a balance of carbohydrates,
protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body.
For most of us, moderation or balance means eating less than we do now. More specifically,
it means eating far less of the unhealthy stuff (unrefined sugar, saturated fat, for example)
and more of the healthy (such as fresh fruit and vegetables). But it doesn't mean eliminating
the foods you love. Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for example, could be
considered moderation if you follow it with a healthy lunch and dinner–but not if you follow
it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza. If you eat 100 calories of chocolate one
afternoon, balance it out by deducting 100 calories from your evening meal. If you're still
hungry, fill up with an extra serving of fresh vegetables.
Try not to think of certain foods as “off-limits.” When you ban certain foods or food groups,
it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to
temptation. If you are drawn towards sweet, salty, or unhealthy foods, start by reducing
portion sizes and not eating them as often. Later you may find yourself craving them less or
thinking of them as only occasional indulgences.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently, particularly in restaurants.
When dining out, choose a starter instead of a huge dinner, split a dish with a friend, and
don't order super-sized anything. At home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in
realistic terms, and start small. If you don't feel satisfied at the end of a meal, try adding
more leafy green vegetables or rounding off the meal with fresh fruit. Visual cues can help
with portion sizes–your serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the size of a deck of
cards, a slice of bread should be the size of a CD case, and half a cup of mashed potato,
rice, or pasta is about the size of a traditional light bulb.
It's not just what you eat, it's how you eat.. click here to read more about portion control.
Healthy eating is about more than the food on your plate—it is also about how you think
about food. Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think
about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between meetings or
on the way to pick up the kids. Click here to read more about eating clean.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has numerous social and
emotional benefits—particularly for children—and allows you to model healthy eating habits.
Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.
Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes. Chew your food slowly, savoring every
bite. We tend to rush though our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the
textures of our food. Reconnect with the joy of eating.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if
you are thirsty instead of hungry. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually
takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat
slowly.
Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can jump start
your metabolism, and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day (rather than the
standard three large meals) keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.
Avoid eating at night. Try to eat dinner earlier in the day and then fast for 14-16 hours until
breakfast the next morning. Early studies suggest that this simple dietary adjustment—
eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each
day—may help to regulate weight. After-dinner snacks tend to be high in fat and calories so
are best avoided, anyway.
Healthy eating includes... Filling up on colorful fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. They are low in calories and
nutrient dense, which means they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and
fiber. Click here to read more about fiber and weight loss.
Try to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables every day and with every meal—the brighter
the better. Colorful, deeply colored fruits and vegetables contain higher concentrations of
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—and different colors provide different benefits, so eat
a variety. Aim for a minimum of five portions each day.
Some great choices include:
Greens. Branch out beyond bright and dark green lettuce. Kale, mustard greens, broccoli,
and Chinese cabbage are just a few of the options—all packed with calcium, magnesium,
iron, potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, C, E, and K.
Sweet vegetables. Naturally sweet vegetables—such as corn, carrots, beets, sweet
potatoes, yams, onions, and squash—add healthy sweetness to your meals and reduce your
cravings for other sweets.
Fruit. Fruit is a tasty, satisfying way to fill up on fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Berries are
cancer-fighting, apples provide fiber, oranges and mangos offer vitamin C, and so on.
The importance of getting vitamins from food—not pills
The antioxidants and other nutrients in fruits and vegetables help protect against certain
types of cancer and other diseases. And while advertisements abound for supplements
promising to deliver the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables in pill or powder form,
research suggests that it’s just not the same.
Check out these Fat burning foods.
A daily regimen of nutritional supplements is not going to have the same impact of eating
right. That’s because the benefits of fruits and vegetables don’t come from a single vitamin
or an isolated antioxidant.
The health benefits of fruits and vegetables come from numerous vitamins, minerals, and
phytochemicals working together synergistically. They can’t be broken down into the sum of
their parts or replicated in pill form.
Try this.... Eat more healthy carbs and whole grains
Choose healthy carbohydrates and fiber sources, especially whole grains, for long lasting
energy. In addition to being delicious and satisfying, whole grains are rich in
phytochemicals and antioxidants, which help to protect against coronary heart disease,
certain cancers, and diabetes. Studies have shown people who eat more whole grains tend
to have a healthier heart.
A quick definition of healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs
Healthy carbs (sometimes known as good carbs) include whole grains, beans, fruits, and
vegetables. Healthy carbs are digested slowly, helping you feel full longer and keeping
blood sugar and insulin levels stable.
Unhealthy carbs (or bad carbs) are foods such as white flour, refined sugar, and white rice
that have been stripped of all bran, fiber, and nutrients. Unhealthy carbs digest quickly and
cause spikes in blood sugar levels and energy.
Tips for eating more healthy carbs
Include a variety of whole grains in your healthy diet, including whole wheat, brown rice,
millet, quinoa, and barley. Experiment with different grains to find your favorites.
Make sure you're really getting whole grains. Be aware that the words stone-ground, multi-
grain, 100% wheat, or bran can be deceptive. Look for the words “whole grain” or “100%
whole wheat” at the beginning of the ingredient list. In the U.S., Canada, and some other
countries, check for the Whole Grain Stamps that distinguish between partial whole grain
and 100% whole grain.
Try mixing grains as a first step to switching to whole grains. If whole grains like brown rice
and whole wheat pasta don’t sound good at first, start by mixing what you normally use with
the whole grains. You can gradually increase the whole grain to 100%.
Avoid: Refined foods such as breads, pastas, and breakfast cereals that are not whole
grain. Click here to read more about Carbs, diet menus and exercises.
Some fats are good... Enjoy healthy fats & avoid unhealthy fats
Good sources of healthy fat are needed to nourish your brain, heart, and cells, as well as
your hair, skin, and nails. Foods rich in certain omega-3 fats called EPA and DHA are
particularly important and can reduce cardiovascular disease, improve your mood, and help
prevent dementia.
Add to your healthy diet:
Monounsaturated fats, from plant oils like canola oil, peanut oil, and olive oil, as well as
avocados, nuts (like almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans), and seeds (such as pumpkin,
sesame).
Polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, found in fatty fish such as
salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and some cold water fish oil supplements.
Other sources of polyunsaturated fats are unheated sunflower, corn, soybean, flaxseed
oils, and walnuts.
Reduce or eliminate from your diet:
Saturated fats, found primarily in animal sources including red meat and whole milk dairy
products.
Trans fats, found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, candies, cookies,
snack foods, fried foods, baked goods, and other processed foods made with partially
hydrogenated vegetable oils.
This is a big one to getting on a good diet track... Put protein in perspective
Protein gives us the energy to get up and go—and keep going. Protein in food is broken
down into the 20 amino acids that are the body’s basic building blocks for growth and
energy, and essential for maintaining cells, tissues, and organs. A lack of protein in our diet
can slow growth, reduce muscle mass, lower immunity, and weaken the heart and
respiratory system. Protein is particularly important for children, whose bodies are growing
and changing daily.
Here are some guidelines for including protein in your healthy diet:
Try different types of protein. Whether or not you are a vegetarian, trying different protein
sources—such as beans, nuts, seeds, peas, tofu, and soy products—will open up new
options for healthy mealtimes.
Beans: Black beans, navy beans, garbanzos, and lentils are good options.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pecans are great choices.
Soy products: Try tofu, soy milk, tempeh, and veggie burgers for a change.
Avoid salted or sugary nuts and refried beans.
Downsize your portions of protein. Many people in the West eat too much protein. Try to
move away from protein being the center of your meal. Focus on equal servings of protein,
whole grains, and vegetables.
Focus on quality sources of protein, like fresh fish, chicken or turkey, tofu, eggs, beans, or
nuts. When you are having meat, chicken, or turkey, buy meat that is free of hormones and
antibiotics.
Add calcium for strong bones
Calcium is one of the key nutrients that your body needs in order to stay strong and healthy.
It is an essential building block for lifelong bone health in both men and women, as well as
many other important functions.
You and your bones will benefit from eating plenty of calcium-rich foods, limiting foods that
deplete your body’s calcium stores, and getting your daily dose of magnesium and vitamins
D and K—nutrients that help calcium do its job.
Recommended calcium levels are 1000 mg per day, 1200 mg if you are over 50 years old.
Take a vitamin D and calcium supplement if you don’t get enough of these nutrients from
your diet.
Good sources of calcium include:
Dairy: Dairy products are rich in calcium in a form that is easily digested and absorbed by
the body. Sources include milk, yogurt, and cheese.
Vegetables and greens: Many vegetables, especially leafy green ones, are rich sources of
calcium. Try turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, celery,
broccoli, fennel, cabbage, summer squash, green beans, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and
crimini mushrooms.
Beans: For another rich source of calcium, try black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans,
white beans, black-eyed peas, or baked beans.
Limit sugar and salt!
If you succeed in planning your diet around fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean
protein, and good fats, you may find yourself naturally cutting back on foods that can get in
the way of your healthy diet—sugar and salt.
Sugar
Sugar causes energy ups and downs and can add to health and weight problems.
Unfortunately, reducing the amount of candy, cakes, and desserts we eat is only part of the
solution. Often you may not even be aware of the amount of sugar you’re consuming each
day. Large amounts of added sugar can be hidden in foods such as bread, canned soups
and vegetables, pasta sauce, margarine, instant mashed potatoes, frozen dinners, fast
food, soy sauce, and ketchup. Here are some tips:
Avoid sugary drinks. One 12-oz soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar in it, more than the
daily recommended limit! Try sparkling water with lemon or a splash of fruit juice.
Eat naturally sweet food such as fruit, peppers, or natural peanut butter to satisfy your
sweet tooth.
How sugar is hidden on food labels
Check food labels carefully. Sugar is often disguised using terms such as:
cane sugar or maple syrup
corn sweetener or corn syrup
honey or molasses
brown rice syrup
crystallized or evaporated cane juice
fruit juice concentrates, such as apple or pear
maltodextrin (or dextrin)
Dextrose, Fructose, Glucose, Maltose, or Sucrose

Salt
Most of us consume too much salt in our diets. Eating too much salt can cause high blood
pressure and lead to other health problems. Try to limit sodium intake to 1,500 to 2,300 mg
per day, the equivalent of one teaspoon of salt.
Avoid processed or pre-packaged foods. Processed foods like canned soups or frozen
dinners contain hidden sodium that quickly surpasses the recommended limit.
Be careful when eating out. Most restaurant and fast food meals are loaded with sodium.
Opt for fresh or frozen vegetables instead of canned vegetables.
Cut back on salty snacks such as potato chips, nuts, and pretzels.
Choose low-salt or reduced-sodium products.
Try slowly reducing the salt in your diet to give your taste buds time to adjust.

your plate is as full as yesterday with leftovers. You can't take back all the damage from
overeating and to be honest with you, you probably will not see the effects of what you ate
for another 2 days or so.... The body will catch up with you. So what can you do to avoid
making this into a week of overeating? You can make yourself a promise that in January you
are going to change or you can take control of yourself now before January and have a
head start on a new way of life eating plan. It can be done. So where to start?
Well...Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or
depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more
energy, stabilizing your mood, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible– all of which can
be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you.
You can expand your range of healthy food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create
and maintain a tasty, healthy diet....To set yourself up for success, think about planning a
healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If
you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet
sooner than you think.
Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion
sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. This way it should be
easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that
incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more
delicious.
Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet
healthy overnight is not really realistic or smart. Changing everything at once usually leads
to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full
of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil
when cooking. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy
choices to your diet.
Every change you make to improve your diet matters. You don’t have to be perfect and you
don’t have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet. The long term
goal is to feel good, have more energy, and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don’t let
your missteps derail you—every healthy food choice you make counts.
Think of water and exercise as food groups in your diet.
So what alcoholic drinks are you drinking?

Water. Water helps flush our systems of waste products and toxins, yet many people go
through life dehydrated—causing tiredness, low energy, and headaches. It’s common to
mistake thirst for hunger, so staying well hydrated will also help you make healthier food
choices. Click here to read more about the benefits of water.
Exercise. Find something active that you like to do and add it to your day, just like you
would add healthy greens, blueberries, or salmon. The benefits of lifelong exercise are
abundant and regular exercise may even motivate you to make healthy food choices a habit.
Moderation is key Click here to find exercises that work for you.
People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation
for any healthy diet is moderation. But what is moderation? How much is a moderate
amount? That really depends on you and your overall eating habits. The goal of healthy
eating is to develop a diet that you can maintain for life, not just a few weeks or months, or
until you've hit your ideal weight. So try to think of moderation in terms of balance. Despite
what certain fad diets would have you believe, we all need a balance of carbohydrates,
protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body.
For most of us, moderation or balance means eating less than we do now. More specifically,
it means eating far less of the unhealthy stuff (unrefined sugar, saturated fat, for example)
and more of the healthy (such as fresh fruit and vegetables). But it doesn't mean eliminating
the foods you love. Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for example, could be
considered moderation if you follow it with a healthy lunch and dinner–but not if you follow
it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza. If you eat 100 calories of chocolate one
afternoon, balance it out by deducting 100 calories from your evening meal. If you're still
hungry, fill up with an extra serving of fresh vegetables.
Try not to think of certain foods as “off-limits.” When you ban certain foods or food groups,
it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to
temptation. If you are drawn towards sweet, salty, or unhealthy foods, start by reducing
portion sizes and not eating them as often. Later you may find yourself craving them less or
thinking of them as only occasional indulgences.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently, particularly in restaurants.
When dining out, choose a starter instead of a huge dinner, split a dish with a friend, and
don't order super-sized anything. At home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in
realistic terms, and start small. If you don't feel satisfied at the end of a meal, try adding
more leafy green vegetables or rounding off the meal with fresh fruit. Visual cues can help
with portion sizes–your serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the size of a deck of
cards, a slice of bread should be the size of a CD case, and half a cup of mashed potato,
rice, or pasta is about the size of a traditional light bulb.
It's not just what you eat, it's how you eat.. click here to read more about portion control.
Healthy eating is about more than the food on your plate—it is also about how you think
about food. Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think
about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between meetings or
on the way to pick up the kids. Click here to read more about eating clean.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has numerous social and
emotional benefits—particularly for children—and allows you to model healthy eating habits.
Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.
Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes. Chew your food slowly, savoring every
bite. We tend to rush though our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the
textures of our food. Reconnect with the joy of eating.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if
you are thirsty instead of hungry. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually
takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat
slowly.
Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can jump start
your metabolism, and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day (rather than the
standard three large meals) keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.
Avoid eating at night. Try to eat dinner earlier in the day and then fast for 14-16 hours until
breakfast the next morning. Early studies suggest that this simple dietary adjustment—
eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each
day—may help to regulate weight. After-dinner snacks tend to be high in fat and calories so
are best avoided, anyway.
Healthy eating includes... Filling up on colorful fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. They are low in calories and
nutrient dense, which means they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and
fiber. Click here to read more about fiber and weight loss.
Try to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables every day and with every meal—the brighter
the better. Colorful, deeply colored fruits and vegetables contain higher concentrations of
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—and different colors provide different benefits, so eat
a variety. Aim for a minimum of five portions each day.
Some great choices include:
Greens. Branch out beyond bright and dark green lettuce. Kale, mustard greens, broccoli,
and Chinese cabbage are just a few of the options—all packed with calcium, magnesium,
iron, potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, C, E, and K.
Sweet vegetables. Naturally sweet vegetables—such as corn, carrots, beets, sweet
potatoes, yams, onions, and squash—add healthy sweetness to your meals and reduce your
cravings for other sweets.
Fruit. Fruit is a tasty, satisfying way to fill up on fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Berries are
cancer-fighting, apples provide fiber, oranges and mangos offer vitamin C, and so on.
The importance of getting vitamins from food—not pills
The antioxidants and other nutrients in fruits and vegetables help protect against certain
types of cancer and other diseases. And while advertisements abound for supplements
promising to deliver the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables in pill or powder form,
research suggests that it’s just not the same.
Check out these Fat burning foods.
A daily regimen of nutritional supplements is not going to have the same impact of eating
right. That’s because the benefits of fruits and vegetables don’t come from a single vitamin
or an isolated antioxidant.
The health benefits of fruits and vegetables come from numerous vitamins, minerals, and
phytochemicals working together synergistically. They can’t be broken down into the sum of
their parts or replicated in pill form.
Try this.... Eat more healthy carbs and whole grains
Choose healthy carbohydrates and fiber sources, especially whole grains, for long lasting
energy. In addition to being delicious and satisfying, whole grains are rich in
phytochemicals and antioxidants, which help to protect against coronary heart disease,
certain cancers, and diabetes. Studies have shown people who eat more whole grains tend
to have a healthier heart.
A quick definition of healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs
Healthy carbs (sometimes known as good carbs) include whole grains, beans, fruits, and
vegetables. Healthy carbs are digested slowly, helping you feel full longer and keeping
blood sugar and insulin levels stable.
Unhealthy carbs (or bad carbs) are foods such as white flour, refined sugar, and white rice
that have been stripped of all bran, fiber, and nutrients. Unhealthy carbs digest quickly and
cause spikes in blood sugar levels and energy.
Tips for eating more healthy carbs
Include a variety of whole grains in your healthy diet, including whole wheat, brown rice,
millet, quinoa, and barley. Experiment with different grains to find your favorites.
Make sure you're really getting whole grains. Be aware that the words stone-ground, multi-
grain, 100% wheat, or bran can be deceptive. Look for the words “whole grain” or “100%
whole wheat” at the beginning of the ingredient list. In the U.S., Canada, and some other
countries, check for the Whole Grain Stamps that distinguish between partial whole grain
and 100% whole grain.
Try mixing grains as a first step to switching to whole grains. If whole grains like brown rice
and whole wheat pasta don’t sound good at first, start by mixing what you normally use with
the whole grains. You can gradually increase the whole grain to 100%.
Avoid: Refined foods such as breads, pastas, and breakfast cereals that are not whole
grain. Click here to read more about Carbs, diet menus and exercises.
Some fats are good... Enjoy healthy fats & avoid unhealthy fats
Good sources of healthy fat are needed to nourish your brain, heart, and cells, as well as
your hair, skin, and nails. Foods rich in certain omega-3 fats called EPA and DHA are
particularly important and can reduce cardiovascular disease, improve your mood, and help
prevent dementia.
Add to your healthy diet:
Monounsaturated fats, from plant oils like canola oil, peanut oil, and olive oil, as well as
avocados, nuts (like almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans), and seeds (such as pumpkin,
sesame).
Polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, found in fatty fish such as
salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and some cold water fish oil supplements.
Other sources of polyunsaturated fats are unheated sunflower, corn, soybean, flaxseed
oils, and walnuts.
Reduce or eliminate from your diet:
Saturated fats, found primarily in animal sources including red meat and whole milk dairy
products.
Trans fats, found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, candies, cookies,
snack foods, fried foods, baked goods, and other processed foods made with partially
hydrogenated vegetable oils.
This is a big one to getting on a good diet track... Put protein in perspective
Protein gives us the energy to get up and go—and keep going. Protein in food is broken
down into the 20 amino acids that are the body’s basic building blocks for growth and
energy, and essential for maintaining cells, tissues, and organs. A lack of protein in our diet
can slow growth, reduce muscle mass, lower immunity, and weaken the heart and
respiratory system. Protein is particularly important for children, whose bodies are growing
and changing daily.
Here are some guidelines for including protein in your healthy diet:
Try different types of protein. Whether or not you are a vegetarian, trying different protein
sources—such as beans, nuts, seeds, peas, tofu, and soy products—will open up new
options for healthy mealtimes.
Beans: Black beans, navy beans, garbanzos, and lentils are good options.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pecans are great choices.
Soy products: Try tofu, soy milk, tempeh, and veggie burgers for a change.
Avoid salted or sugary nuts and refried beans.
Downsize your portions of protein. Many people in the West eat too much protein. Try to
move away from protein being the center of your meal. Focus on equal servings of protein,
whole grains, and vegetables.
Focus on quality sources of protein, like fresh fish, chicken or turkey, tofu, eggs, beans, or
nuts. When you are having meat, chicken, or turkey, buy meat that is free of hormones and
antibiotics.
Add calcium for strong bones
Calcium is one of the key nutrients that your body needs in order to stay strong and healthy.
It is an essential building block for lifelong bone health in both men and women, as well as
many other important functions.
You and your bones will benefit from eating plenty of calcium-rich foods, limiting foods that
deplete your body’s calcium stores, and getting your daily dose of magnesium and vitamins
D and K—nutrients that help calcium do its job.
Recommended calcium levels are 1000 mg per day, 1200 mg if you are over 50 years old.
Take a vitamin D and calcium supplement if you don’t get enough of these nutrients from
your diet.
Good sources of calcium include:
Dairy: Dairy products are rich in calcium in a form that is easily digested and absorbed by
the body. Sources include milk, yogurt, and cheese.
Vegetables and greens: Many vegetables, especially leafy green ones, are rich sources of
calcium. Try turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, celery,
broccoli, fennel, cabbage, summer squash, green beans, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and
crimini mushrooms.
Beans: For another rich source of calcium, try black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans,
white beans, black-eyed peas, or baked beans.
Limit sugar and salt!
If you succeed in planning your diet around fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean
protein, and good fats, you may find yourself naturally cutting back on foods that can get in
the way of your healthy diet—sugar and salt.
Sugar
Sugar causes energy ups and downs and can add to health and weight problems.
Unfortunately, reducing the amount of candy, cakes, and desserts we eat is only part of the
solution. Often you may not even be aware of the amount of sugar you’re consuming each
day. Large amounts of added sugar can be hidden in foods such as bread, canned soups
and vegetables, pasta sauce, margarine, instant mashed potatoes, frozen dinners, fast
food, soy sauce, and ketchup. Here are some tips:
Avoid sugary drinks. One 12-oz soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar in it, more than the
daily recommended limit! Try sparkling water with lemon or a splash of fruit juice.
Eat naturally sweet food such as fruit, peppers, or natural peanut butter to satisfy your
sweet tooth.
How sugar is hidden on food labels
Check food labels carefully. Sugar is often disguised using terms such as:
cane sugar or maple syrup
corn sweetener or corn syrup
honey or molasses
brown rice syrup
crystallized or evaporated cane juice
fruit juice concentrates, such as apple or pear
maltodextrin (or dextrin)
Dextrose, Fructose, Glucose, Maltose, or Sucrose

Salt
Most of us consume too much salt in our diets. Eating too much salt can cause high blood
pressure and lead to other health problems. Try to limit sodium intake to 1,500 to 2,300 mg
per day, the equivalent of one teaspoon of salt.
Avoid processed or pre-packaged foods. Processed foods like canned soups or frozen
dinners contain hidden sodium that quickly surpasses the recommended limit.
Be careful when eating out. Most restaurant and fast food meals are loaded with sodium.
Opt for fresh or frozen vegetables instead of canned vegetables.
Cut back on salty snacks such as potato chips, nuts, and pretzels.
Choose low-salt or reduced-sodium products.
Try slowly reducing the salt in your diet to give your taste buds time to adjust.

OMG I just saw the scale.... "I’d like to start an exercise program, but where do I begin?"
Making the personal decision to begin exercise is the first step. Committing to make it a
priority in your life is the next.
Often, the biggest challenge you will face is changing your lifestyle. Many of us have created
bad habits over a the years and changing these requires a committed effort to consciously
recognize and alter some of these patterns. Ultimately you need to change both your internal
beliefs and your external environment to step you up for success.
It takes time to develop new habits, so a positive, forgiving attitude is essential. You will not
become an athlete overnight, but by slowly changing your internal dialog and external
situation, you will find a new lifestyle that encourages fitness.
Begin by checking with you doctor to ensure that you can safely exercise without
restrictions. Once you have the OK, surround yourself with supportive people and role
models. Having a support system is crucial in starting a workout program. Accountability and
motivation are very important to success. Ask those who are active how they’ve set up their
lifestyle to support activity. You will learn a lot from those who are doing what you want to do.
You might also consider several sessions with a qualified personal trainer to learn what to
do to reach your fitness goals. Keep in mind that there is no right or wrong way to stay
active. Find something that works for you whether it’s bike commuting to work, walking after
dinner, joining a sports league, exercise while watching tv, or training for a marathon. There
are so many options and sometimes we don’t realize how life provides many opportunities to
be active – we just have to recognize them.
Physical health is often the last item on the daily agenda in trying to balance, school, jobs,
relationships and all of the other demands of your daily life. However, if you make physical
fitness and healthy lifestyle a priority, you will find more energy and enthusiasm for the other
areas of your life.
Ideally, your exercise routine should be goal oriented, especially for new exercisers. Your
goal must be realistic relative to your starting point, and measurable in a way that you will
see your progress.

The cucumber is a vegetable that is a part of the same family as the zucchini, pumpkin and squash.
About 90 percent of the cucumber is water. It is low in calories, yet contains essential nutrients that
you can fill up on at the dinner table as well as in between meals. As a result, the cucumber helps to
promote weight loss, which in turn can help you to prevent many other diseases.
Cleansing Properties
The cucumber works like a diuretic, which not only helps you to lose fat cells, but water weight as
well. It essentially helps to remove excess body fluids and fat cells by breaking down the fat cells
so that they can be eliminated from the body.
Cucumbers contain silicon and sulphur, which help to stimulate the kidneys to cleanse the body
from the accumulated uric acid, which is often the result of being overweight. The kidneys also aid
in breaking down fat cells to be removed from the body.
In addition to the diuretic effect, the cucumber contains powerful antioxidant vitamins such as
vitamins A, C and E to help remove toxins and fat cells. They help to clean your systems at a cellular
level, to remove pockets of fat and toxins that have built up in your body and underneath your skin.
Cucumbers can help you to achieve your weight loss goals gradually over time.
Increased Energy Levels
Cucumbers are high in fiber, which is essential when it comes to weight loss, as it helps to get your
bowels functioning again so that wastes can be eliminated. Fiber not only helps to clean your
digestive tract, but the rest of your body as well. This helps to increase your metabolism so that you
will have more energy to help the body to burn off fat cells by engaging in exercise.
Tartrate acid is another component in the cucumber that increases energy and promotes weight
loss. It basically helps the body to convert carbohydrates into energy, so that they will not be
stored as fat cells.
Low in Calories
Cucumbers are very low in calories. 1 cup of sliced cucumbers contains only about 13.52 calories,
while the high levels of nutrients and water content will help to fill you up without the calories.
Therefore, cucumbers are the perfect addition to any green salad, as well as a great vegetable to
snack on in between meals.
Alkalizing
Cucumbers have an alkalizing effect on the body to help restore the pH level in your blood. This is
crucial if you want to lose weight, as an acidic environment in the body can make it difficult to lose
weight. This is due to the fact that too many acids in the blood or body can damage your organs and
blood vessels. In order for your body to protect itself from these acids, it stores them away in
pockets of fat. In order for you to lose weight, you need to restore the pH balance, so that these fat
pockets can be eliminated from the body.
The cucumber is often seen on vegetable trays alongside carrots, broccoli and other chopped
vegetables, but are there any other ways that they can be included in your diet? Here are four
different ways that cucumbers can be added to meals to make them tastier and healthier. Try them
out today and get started on the path to good health!
1. In Cream Cheese
One of the easiest ways to incorporate cucumbers into your meals is by creating a garden
vegetable cream cheese and spreading it on your morning bagel. This adds a unique zing to an
otherwise ordinary breakfast, and helps to increase your vegetable intake. Start by choosing
cucumbers that are firm to the touch. Carefully peel the cucumbers either by hand or with a peeler.
Chop the cucumber into small pieces, and add to a bowl of softened cream cheese. Mix the
cucumber and cream cheese thoroughly. If you like, you can also add other vegetables, such as
peppers, carrots or onions. Bagels make a great morning snack because they’re hand-held and don’
t need to be refrigerated.
2. In Beverages
Another great way to incorporate them in your meals is by making a cucumber smoothie.
Cucumbers have a very mild taste, making them a great pairing for almost any fruit. Peel the
cucumber, and then mash. This can be done by either placing the cucumber in a food processor or
blender. Add strawberries, melon or any other fruit of your choice, and mix until combined. Add ice,
milk or yogurt, and get ready for a tasty treat!
3. In Sauces
Cucumbers can be pureed and combined with other ingredients to make sauces which can then be
served with chicken, beef, fish, pork or even pasta. As described above, cucumbers have a mild
taste, and therefore can blend well with a variety of different flavors without being too
overwhelming. You may have to experiment with a few different recipes and ingredients before
finding a flavor combination that works well for you. But don’t give up – with time and practice, you’
ll find the perfect sauce!
4. In Salads
Cucumbers are often used in salads, which is a final way to incorporate them into your meals.
Typically, cucumbers that are in salads are not peeled. Research has found that the peel of most
fruits and vegetables contains a high amount of dietary fiber, which is slow digesting and therefore
essential to help keep you feeling fuller for a longer period of time. Also, fiber is “bulky,” which
means that it takes up a lot of room in your stomach. To get the most bang from your buck when
eating salads, try to keep the peels on your cucumbers. Not only will you get extra fiber in your diet,
but you will also get a satisfying crunch from the peel!
YOU CAN EVEN USE IT ON YOUR FACE...
HOW TO MAKE A CUCUMBER FACE MASK..
By keeping some basic guidelines in mind, you can learn how to make a cucumber face mask. While
the pulp of the cucumber can provide a great deal of moisture, the skin of the cucumber acts as an
exfoliate. This great face mask is not only highly effective, but it can also help to save you lots of
hard earned money!
Start With High-Quality Cucumbers
Aside from bones and fat, your body is composed almost primarily of water. Therefore, it is no
surprise that cucumbers, which are very high in water, can be used to make a great, high-quality
face mask. Since the water content of the cucumbers is one of the reasons why they make such a
great mask, it is important that you find fresh, high-quality cucumbers in order to achieve optimal
results. Head to the produce section of your local grocery store, and look for cucumbers that are
firm and have dark green, waxy skins. These skins should appear taut and should not be wrinkly or
dried out.
Prepare the Cucumbers
Once you have actually purchased the cucumbers, you must go home and prepare them properly.
Start by using a sharp vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin of the cucumber, but do not
discard it. Instead, place it in a separate bowl for later use. Cut the cucumber into thin, evenly sized
slices. Carefully place the cucumber slices into a food processor, and mix thoroughly. Remove the
cucumber pulp from the blender. Next, place in to the skin of the cucumber that was removed
earlier. Use short bursts of the food processor to chop the cucumber skin into small pieces.
However, the cucumber skin should not be made into a paste.
Prepare the Cucumber Face Mask
Now it is time to combine the ingredients to make the mask. Start by combining the cucumber pulp
and skin in a large bowl. You should be able to feel the “grains” of the cucumber skin in this
mixture. Add a small amount of lavender or citrus oil to the face mask to give the mixture a
refreshing fragrance and help moisturize the skin. Allow the mixture to sit in the bowl for at least
five minutes, so that all of the ingredients have an opportunity to mesh with each other.
Apply the Cucumber Face Mask
Finally, you must apply the cucumber face mask. Start by using a clean washcloth to wash your face.
Ideally, at this point you should use very warm water in order to open the pores in your skin.
Carefully apply the cucumber face mask and let it rest on the skin for at least ten minutes. After the
time has passed, carefully remove the face mask and discard in the garbage. To rinse your face,
this time use cold water. This will help to seal your pores, thereby trapping in the moisture that was
provided to your face from the face mask.

Another great way to incorporate them in your meals is by making a cucumber smoothie.
Cucumbers have a very mild taste, making them a great pairing for almost any fruit. Peel the
cucumber, and then mash. This can be done by either placing the cucumber in a food processor or
blender. Add strawberries, melon or any other fruit of your choice, and mix until combined. Add ice,
milk or yogurt, and get ready for a tasty treat!
3. In Sauces
Cucumbers can be pureed and combined with other ingredients to make sauces which can then be
served with chicken, beef, fish, pork or even pasta. As described above, cucumbers have a mild
taste, and therefore can blend well with a variety of different flavors without being too
overwhelming. You may have to experiment with a few different recipes and ingredients before
finding a flavor combination that works well for you. But don’t give up – with time and practice, you’
ll find the perfect sauce!
4. In Salads
Cucumbers are often used in salads, which is a final way to incorporate them into your meals.
Typically, cucumbers that are in salads are not peeled. Research has found that the peel of most
fruits and vegetables contains a high amount of dietary fiber, which is slow digesting and therefore
essential to help keep you feeling fuller for a longer period of time. Also, fiber is “bulky,” which
means that it takes up a lot of room in your stomach. To get the most bang from your buck when
eating salads, try to keep the peels on your cucumbers. Not only will you get extra fiber in your diet,
but you will also get a satisfying crunch from the peel!
YOU CAN EVEN USE IT ON YOUR FACE...
HOW TO MAKE A CUCUMBER FACE MASK..
By keeping some basic guidelines in mind, you can learn how to make a cucumber face mask. While
the pulp of the cucumber can provide a great deal of moisture, the skin of the cucumber acts as an
exfoliate. This great face mask is not only highly effective, but it can also help to save you lots of
hard earned money!
Start With High-Quality Cucumbers
Aside from bones and fat, your body is composed almost primarily of water. Therefore, it is no
surprise that cucumbers, which are very high in water, can be used to make a great, high-quality
face mask. Since the water content of the cucumbers is one of the reasons why they make such a
great mask, it is important that you find fresh, high-quality cucumbers in order to achieve optimal
results. Head to the produce section of your local grocery store, and look for cucumbers that are
firm and have dark green, waxy skins. These skins should appear taut and should not be wrinkly or
dried out.
Prepare the Cucumbers
Once you have actually purchased the cucumbers, you must go home and prepare them properly.
Start by using a sharp vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin of the cucumber, but do not
discard it. Instead, place it in a separate bowl for later use. Cut the cucumber into thin, evenly sized
slices. Carefully place the cucumber slices into a food processor, and mix thoroughly. Remove the
cucumber pulp from the blender. Next, place in to the skin of the cucumber that was removed
earlier. Use short bursts of the food processor to chop the cucumber skin into small pieces.
However, the cucumber skin should not be made into a paste.
Prepare the Cucumber Face Mask
Now it is time to combine the ingredients to make the mask. Start by combining the cucumber pulp
and skin in a large bowl. You should be able to feel the “grains” of the cucumber skin in this
mixture. Add a small amount of lavender or citrus oil to the face mask to give the mixture a
refreshing fragrance and help moisturize the skin. Allow the mixture to sit in the bowl for at least
five minutes, so that all of the ingredients have an opportunity to mesh with each other.
Apply the Cucumber Face Mask
Finally, you must apply the cucumber face mask. Start by using a clean washcloth to wash your face.
Ideally, at this point you should use very warm water in order to open the pores in your skin.
Carefully apply the cucumber face mask and let it rest on the skin for at least ten minutes. After the
time has passed, carefully remove the face mask and discard in the garbage. To rinse your face,
this time use cold water. This will help to seal your pores, thereby trapping in the moisture that was
provided to your face from the face mask.
