Newswise- How to Stick to Your Healthy Eating Resolution


It has now been a few weeks since we have made our New Year resolutions to eat better and finally lose those last five pounds or more.

Its time to check in and see if youve set yourself up for success this year. Brittany Glassett, registered dietitian at Porter Adventist Hospital has a few tips to keep in mind when setting and keeping new goals.

Make SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely. For example, instead of resolving to eat better, make a goal to eat fast food less than three times per month.

Write goals down and choose one or two to focus on at a time. Dont get overwhelmed; once youve incorporated one or two changes into your lifestyle, pick another goal to tackle. Remember, it takes about three weeks to establish a new habit.

Break your goal down into mini-goals. If you want to lose 50 pounds, thats a pretty big feat and can seem impossible at times. Start with a mini-goal of losing 5 pounds in the next month.


Get support. Tell family and friends about your goal to help keep you accountable when temptation arises. Better yet, get them on the fast track to being healthy also!

Plan ahead. Plan all of your meals and go to the grocery store on Sunday. That way you wont get home from work with nothing to eat but delivery pizza. Also, schedule your workouts just as you would any other meeting.


Six Small Changes That Make a Big Difference:

1. Choose more whole grains. All carbohydrates are not created equal. Unlike refined carbohydrates (white bread, sweets), whole grains contain heart healthy fiber and many vitamins and minerals.
The fiber will keep you full between meals to help with weight management goals.

2. Add more color to your plate. Some of the most colorful foods are antioxidant packed fruits and vegetables.
Try to have at least three different colors on your plate (white, cream and yellow dont count!).
Make a goal to try a new fruit or vegetable every month.

3. Dont skip meals, especially breakfast. Eating small, regular meals (every three to four hours) will keep hunger at bay and help you to make better choices at meal times.

4. Dont drink your calories. Soda, juice and high calorie coffee drinks contain empty calories, they provide excessive amounts of calories without providing much, if any, nutrition.

5. Replace vegetable oil with canola oil and olive oil in your kitchen. Olive oil and canola oil contain heart healthy monounsaturated fats whereas vegetable oil contains omega-6 fatty acids, a polyunsaturated fat, which are eaten in excess in the typical American diet. Omega-6 fatty acids promote inflammation in the body, which is associated with many disease states including heart disease.

6. Keep a food diary. Even if its for one or two days a week, studies have shown that those who have lost weight and maintained it keep food journals. It really can be an eye-opener!

Power Up with Almonds

(Family Features) - It takes energy to endure a hectic, non-stop day. Whether you need to get through tough deadlines, long meetings, daily workouts or family-packed days, protein and fiber can give you the energy you need to win.

One of the easiest ways to get that protein is by eating almonds. "Almonds are the ultimate fitness nut," says Mitzi Dulan, RD, CSSD. Dulan, an expert in the field of nutrition, exercise and wellness, says that almonds help fuel everyday life because they're convenient, tasty and can go anywhere you do. "Almonds are the perfect on-the-go food to help you power through a grueling workout, or work day for that matter."
  • Just a handful of almonds has 6 grams of protein which helps you sustain energy and minimize cravings throughout the day
  • Almonds are cholesterol free, low in saturated fat and a good source of dietary fiber (3.5g). Eating a handful of almonds a day (about 23) in place of foods higher in saturated fat can help you maintain a healthy cholesterol level without weight gain*
  • When compared ounce for ounce, almonds are the tree nut highest in protein (6 g), fiber (3.5 g), calcium (75 mg), vitamin E (7.4 mg), riboflavin (0.3 mg), and niacin (1 mg). Talk about a small package packing a powerful punch



It's easy to work almonds into your busy day:

7:00 a.m. After a morning workout.
Grab a handful of whole natural almonds to give your body a post-workout energy boost.

11:00 a.m. The late morning snack attack.
Keep a re-sealable bag of flavored almonds in your desk to help ward off the desire to ambush your coworker's candy bowl or visit the vending machines.

12:30 p.m. Lunchtime's here.
Toss a handful of slivered or sliced almonds over your salad or pack a power lunch with a Turkey Pita with Fiery Almond Sauce (recipe below).

9:00 p.m. Evening munchies.
Munching on a handful of flavored almonds can satisfy your craving without undoing your whole day of eating right and exercise. Or mix-in whole or sliced almonds into fat-free frozen yogurt or your favorite whole grain cereal.

*Good news about almonds and heart health. Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of almonds (28g) has 13g of unsaturated fat and only 1g of saturated fat.
