Nutrition Tips
Dana's top 10 nutrition and lifestyle tips
1. You can't control the number on the scale. But what you can control are the processes and habits you put in place that lead to weight loss.
2. Identify your challenge period. For one day change it - it's much easier than you think and you'll feel empowered.
3. Be wary of anything that comes in a box with health food claims slathered all over it - if it seems to good to be true (aka high fiber and high protein cereal) it is!
4. For one day, eat 2x whole eggs for breakfast with some tomatoes. Notice how you feel at 11am and 3pm.
5. Take your NY deli salad and empty it into a bowl. Warning - you'll need a bowl large enough for 4 people. Scary stuff if you're eating this 5 x per week.
6. Popcorn is not a health food and won't help you lose weight. Neither do pretzels, 100 calories packs and diet anything.
7. Whatever you're not doing is going to make the biggest difference - if you're exercising, it's your diet; if you're eating well, it's exercise. If you're doing both, it's metabolic and book in to see us.
8. If your weight goes up or down by 4 pounds in a day (and it's not PMS) it's likely to be a food sensitivity.
9. Commit to doing 15 abdominal crunches for the next 5 days. It's only 30 seconds and we all have that!
10. Take an omega 3 supplement daily. If it's not more than $30 for a months supply, the quality is likely to be lacking. Ensure it's in a dark bottle and contains 1000mg of EPA/DHA not just fish oil. We like DFH Omega High PO EE for purity, quantity and price.
