8 Foods That Keep You Full (and 4 That Don’t)

noreply@blogger.com (Kona Katie) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:58:42 PST

For everyone who's working on their New Year's Resolutions, here's a great find for sticking to a healthy eating plan :) Enjoy!

By Camille Noe Pagan, Glamour magazine

Anyone who's ever walked away from the table only to be starving moments later (Chinese food, we're looking at you) knows that certain edibles can leave you more famished than you were before you ate 'em. If you want to stay satisfied longer—a key to weight control—remember this magic trio: protein, healthy fats and fiber. Here, nutritionists' favorite healthy filler-uppers.

Food That Keeps You Full: Eggs

For just 70 calories, an egg delivers more than 6 grams of protein, says Shelley McGuire, Ph.D., a spokesperson for the American Society for Nutrition. One study found that women who ate eggs for breakfast lost more weight than those who had bagels with the same number of calories, possibly because all that protein kept their hunger in check. The egg eaters reported more energy too!

Food That Keeps You Full: Soup

Studies show that foods containing a lot of water can keep you feeling full. And when you start a meal with soup, you activate brain signals that begin to tell you you've had enough to eat—so that by the time you finish your second course, you'll be satisfied. "Go for a broth-based bowl with fiber-rich veggies like celery and spinach," says Amy Jamieson-Petonic, R.D.

Food That Keeps You Full: Avocados

Their healthy monounsaturated fats may help slow the rate at which your stomach empties, says McGuire. They're also loaded with folate, potassium and vitamin E, and early research suggests that foods containing these nutrients may be more satiating than others.

Food That Keeps You Full: Low-Fat Greek Yogurt

Seventeen grams of protein in a 6-ounce container (that's more than you get in four slices of turkey!) means major hunger control.

Food That Keeps You Full: Oatmeal

All that filling fiber (4 grams per half-cup serving in the old-fashioned variety; 3 grams in the instant) helps this breakfast stick to your ribs. It also provides a surprising 4 to 7 grams of protein (the steel-cut kind typically has the most)—and that's before you add milk. For extra staying power, toss in blueberries, which have 4 grams of fiber per cup.

Food That Keeps You Full: Apples

"Only 80 calories, but one can be as filling as a meal because of the 4 grams of fiber and high water content," says Jamieson-Petonic.

Food That Keeps You Full: Beans and Lentils

Eat them and you may end up eating less of everything else. "They're high in protein—about 7 grams per half cup—and high in complex carbohydrates, the type that take longer to break down," says McGuire.

Food That Keeps You Full: Nuts

"They have the perfect combination of fiber, protein and fat," says Jamieson-Petonic. The nutritionists' faves? Walnuts, almonds and pistachios. Just stick to an ounce or less to avoid calorie overload.

Food That Makes You Hungry: Cookies, Crackers and Croissants

Steer clear of the three C's— those processed, sugary carbs tend to cause hunger to rebound. Pick whole-grain snacks instead. (Low-fat popcorn counts!)

Food That Makes You Hungry: Alcohol

Famished after happy hour? It's not just your willpower: Booze can spike your appetite, experts say.

Food That Makes You Hungry: Cereal

Many are high in hunger-producing sugar and little else. Look for protein and fiber like in Kashi GoLean.

Food That Makes You Hungry: "Diet" Foods

Some frozen dinners, for example, actually have too few calories and not enough filling fruits and veggies.

Definitely food for thought!! :)

Kona Katie's New Year's Resolution: Be Better to My Skin!

noreply@blogger.com (Kona Katie) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:20:00 PST

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to be better to my body. First: my largest organ, my SKIN! I already spray tan, so I'm going to find the perfect sunscreen for my super-sensitive complexion, and get regular facials with TLC. Someone told me about a gentle sunscreen called Ocean Potion, which can be found at local surf shops. Has anyone out there tried it?

Getting Engaged Over the Holidays? What You Need to Know | Reposted by Kona Tanning Company Orange County

noreply@blogger.com (Kona Katie) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 11:18:56 PST

Photo: Kona Spray Tan on Private Label by G bridal campaign model Angel Archer

Glamour Magazine put out a list of “Do’s” and “Don’ts” on getting engaged over the holidays!

Did you get engaged??? Would you get Engaged on the holiday?

Here’s the list!

Do bring holiday cheer to your family gathering and announce that you’re engaged for the group (keeping in mind the caveat below).

Don’t make a big announcement if anyone in attendance may be sensitive to the issue of engagement, like an older sister who’s been dying to get engaged herself or a recently divorced cousin. (Tell people in private in that case.)

Don’t share your news online until you’ve told your family at the holiday gathering. And if you’ll see your best buds for New Year’s, why not wait ’til you can tell them in person?

Do think about when (approximately) you’d like to get married. That question will definitely come up at family holiday gatherings.

Don’t feel bad if the Christmas or Hanukkah gift you got your boyfriend doesn’t match up with the engagement ring he bought you. He knows you wouldn’t have gotten him socks if you knew an engagement ring was coming!

Do get your guy a nice engagement gift once your budget’s recovered from holiday present-buying.

Don’t expect an additional holiday gift from your now-fiance. Engagement rings are expensive!

Don’t throw an engagement party before the New Year (if you want people to show). Your friends already have a billion holiday parties they’ve agreed to attend, and they’ll need more notice than a few days.

Don’t take it personally if your friends don’t text you back after you tell them your news on Christmas Eve or Christmas. This may be the one time of year they’re not glued to their phones–or they’d rather get in touch when they’re on their own turf instead of at Aunt Mary’s holiday dinner.

Do look your best for any potential proposal outing if you care about how those first engagement photos come out. (I looked like crap for mine!) And if you don’t get engaged, at least you’ll look hot!
