Improvising A Weight Loss Menu during a last minute invitation

July 26, 2007 · 1 Comment

By Anna O.

Have you ever been invited at the last minute to go out with friends for swimming and barbeque?  What to do when you arrive and see mostly junk food, heavy calories dressing? Do you break your weight loss menu plan? What do you do?

Well, I tell you what I did.  My friends invited me to go swimming and have fun.  Immediately, just before packing my swimsuit, sunblock, and water, I thought, “wait… let me just in case pack a protein shake and some fresh fruits.”  When it was time to eat, I took a quick look at the menu they had… sadly, very few healthy choices. 

Then, I remember, I had my protein shake and my fruits.  So, I took some of the healthy food available and avoided completely the JUNK FOOD.  I prepared my weight loss menu (jello, salad with lemon juice instead of the heavy salad dressing, my protein shake, fresh fruits,  basmati rice.. 1 matzo with tomatoes and basil)

 I had such a wonderful time at the pool and luckily a “healthy meal” to keep up my nutrition.

 How about you?

July 23, 2007 · Leave a Comment

By Anna O., Overweight No More
Are you going out and not having an idea about what you are going to eat? Having the right mindset and keeping focus on your accomplishments and your weight loss goal.  You know that when eating out you will be tempting with unhealthy and sometimes high calories meals. There is the RIGHT Time for you to make wise and healthy decisions.

For example, you know that a side salad is a healthier choice than a plate of oily chips and high calorie dips. Here is your chance to stand firm and choose for healthy choices and avoid having extra bread with lots of butter before your meal.  key:  Just think about those love handles or fat midsection to give you STRENGTH and make the right choices. YOU CAN DO IT..

You can also choose lean protein, such as chicken or fish. Now, also check your cooking methods, opt for grilled instead of fried, stir-fried instead of deep-fried. Remember, you are in control of your food not your food controlling you.

Get a salad entry before your main meal instead of “greasy appetizers.”  Ask for dressing on the side.  Use lemon and olive oil for dressing.

Most of all, don’t go to a FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, and if you do… choose healthy packages.  Ideally, go to a restaurant where you know they have different options for healthy menus.

Your Weight Loss Friend,

Are Carbohydrates or Protein Making You Fat?

July 20, 2007 · Leave a Comment

By (c) Anna O., Overweight No More

High Protein, Low Carbs, these signs are just almost everywhere. Interestingly, many of these new century products have been reporting low sales. Why? People are awakening and realizing about the difficulty of sticking to unbalanced meals and sometime spending triple the money for a product that is not delivering permanent results but extra calories. Contradicting? Yes, it certainly is. Reality is that protein and carbs are needed for proper functioning. One cannot say “all carbs are bad,” neither “protein is bad.”

Carbohydrates are important because they function as body fuel. For example, if you have been following a low-carb diet, sometimes you feel tired, dizzy, and without energy. You need moderate carbohydrates to replenish your body nutrients. Similarly, protein is important for proper body functioning, including good skin, hair, muscle recovery, and so on. Bottom line, balance of carbs and protein function as a loving pair to help our bodies be in shape.  Moderation is the key to lose weight.


Myth:
Do not eat carbohydrates they will make you fat!

Really? Yes and No. Listen, is not that carbohydrates make you fat, but consuming excess of carbohydrates, such as pasta, bread, rice, potatoes, and not exercising is what make you fat. So what can I do?

Solution: Hence, if you have been craving for your pasta, rice, or a baked potato. Cheer up because they are not your enemies! Have you wondered why you don’t see many fat people in Italy where pasta and pizza are consumed almost daily, whereas in the U.S. as reported lately, over 60% are overweight including children?

How could this be? One of the blaming points is “meal size servings.” Comparing a traditional Italian pasta serving with the crazy super size pasta portions served in most American restaurants it takes no brainer to know why are we so overweight. The real enemy is not carbs but wrong eating habits or lack of exercising to use those carbs. Hence, you can consume moderate portions and do your exercises. How moderate? Well, your carbs consumptions depend on your type of metabolism, how often you exercise plus the intensity and time.

Preferably, you can consume starch carbs for lunch. You will have all afternoon to burn calories. Just avoid eating pasta, rice, potatoes late at night, especially before going to bed. Why? You will risk the danger of converting those extra carbs into stored fat, if not used. But, yes, there is always a but or the exception breaking the rule.

If you do your heavy workout before dinner, then, you need to consume carbs… even though is late. Fact is that post training requires carbohydrates to help muscle building and recover energy. You will also need to consume protein within 30 minutes of your workout to feed your muscle and have time to recover.

If you are a little bit confused on how this works, I will strongly suggest you to read some fitness analyses to understand how our metabolism works. Believe me, reading, questioning, and not taking anything for granted have helped me understand about the functioning of the metabolism. This is why I don’t see “my pasta” as the enemy, but as “my body fuel friend.” Woww just awesome!

Until next time, let me just happily go singing my “O Sole Mio” while going to prepare my favorite pasta dish: the traditional “Pasta all’aglio, olio, e pepperoncino.” It is pasta time! Again, secret is moderation. Naturally, I will also have my red glass of Chianti wine.

Therefore, let me make the toast “For your Successful Weight Loss Plan, as Your Commitment is also My Commitment, “Official! Overweight? NO MORE!” We can do it! !”

Cheers and Buon Appetito!
