The Holidays Don't Have to Start with Weight Gain!

2008-11-06T10:29:00.000-08:00

Tips for managing common pitfalls this season

There are a few guidelines you can follow in order to avoid the emotional eating and overindulgence often associated with the holidays, helping to minimize holiday weight-gain –saving you the burden and guilt of adding “weight-loss” to your list of New Year’s resolutions.

Learn how to say no: Most of us will get more invitations than usual during the holidays. This doesn’t mean you have to hire an assistant to manage your social obligations. Running around from event to event can leave you frazzled and lead to weight gain, as a cocktail here and hor dourve there can easily add up to excess calories. Prioritize and attend engagements that do not conflict with your schedule or require you sacrifice the healthy parts of your life like exercise in order to attend.

Pre-schedule a babysitter: This can be an enormous help so you can focus on running extra errands, cooking a healthy meal, going to the gym, buying gifts, or simply to take a little break.

Drink plenty of water: While most of us already do drink plenty of water, during the holidays, foods loaded with sodium in addition to an increase in alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration quite quickly. This can turn into feeling bloated and fatigued—the last thing you need this time of the year!

Avoid eating out too often: Yes, it’s tempting-- who wants to go home and make dinner after a long day at work, combined with the multitude of obligations that arise especially during this time of the year? However, restaurant food--no matter how healthy and low-carb menu items may be- contains an enormous amount of sodium that is detrimental to health and can lead to weight gain.

Stick to your exercise routine: Regardless of choice of exercise-- walking, running, swimming, jogging, or practicing yoga-- regular exercise is a part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise not only helps keep weight within a healthy range, it also promotes restful sleep and relieves stress.

Get enough sleep: This is one of the most important tips to follow. Research has shown a link between obesity and insomnia. The study showed that people who slept less then 6 hours of sleep a night are at a higher risk for obesity.

Be grateful and have fun! Holidays are a time to cherish the people we love and to honor those who are no longer with us.

Insomnia and Obesity… Can Reducing Stress Address Them Both?

2008-06-17T10:25:00.000-07:00

With obesity rates and stress levels in America climbing to all-time highs, it is no wonder that people are having such a hard time sleeping. Recently, a connection between insomnia and obesity has been discovered within the region of the brain that controls sleep and waking known as the hypothalamus… which may help explain why insomnia seems so prevalent in obese individuals.

Researchers observed that hypocretin neurons (which play an essential role in both arousal and appetite) are not able to filter “noise” from brain signals. They also found that the neurons rapidly re-organize and become more excitable as a response to stressors such as food deprivation.

They observed that when these neurons are continuously over-activated by environmental or mental stress, they may learn to support sustained arousal—thus triggering sleeplessness and over-eating. They also established that the more stress an individual has, the easier it becomes for hypocretin neurons to become excited.

Another conclusion reached was that people suffering from obesity and insomnia would benefit greatly from learning stress management techniques and reducing stressors in everyday life. The general belief is that this would improve their conditions in more meaningful ways then dieting or addressing symptoms of insomnia alone.

Relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing offer an individual a moment of peace in today’s hectic world. Practicing everyday to the point where relaxation becomes a part of daily routine is ideal—aim for taking time for relaxation twice a day. Depending on schedule and lifestyle, taking just a few minutes in the morning or the end of the day for this purpose can help.

In the morning, focus on positive thinking for the upcoming day, and reflect on an empowering mantra to face the day with a positive attitude. At the end of the day, focus should remain on letting go of the day’s stressors. This can be achieved through rhythmic deep breathing (which will ensure delivery of oxygen-rich blood to the brain and all major organs) and help promote a state of relaxation to prepare for restful sleep.

Limiting the amount of stimulants consumed-- including soda, coffee, and tea-- is also important. Try to eat a balanced diet and limit processed and fatty foods. Exercise can be tailored to individual lifestyles, but must include at least 3 hours of activity per week, such as walking, jogging, swimming, or running. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.

Nature’s herbal remedies have played a vital role in supporting health and vitality, and have been used for many years to promote overall health and well-being. Chamomile, mint, and the extracts of valerian and St. John’s Wort can be used to support nervous system well-being as well as facilitate regular sleep patterns. Ginger also soothes nervous tension and facilitates digestion after meals.

Finally, allow room for a healthy dose of fresh air and warm sunshine. These simple steps can help promote restful sleep patterns, which can therefore address weight issues… and support well-being for a happy and healthy start to the summer!

Can Eating More Food Mean Losing More Weight?

2008-01-02T11:44:00.000-08:00

Have you heard of negative calorie foods? Negative calorie foods are those which require more energy (calories) to digest than they provide nutritionally to our bodies - and people typically overlook them when trying to lose weight.

Dieters are often so obsessed with following the strict guidelines imposed by their diets that they limit their food intake (sometimes drastically) and deprive the body of essential fibers, vitamins, and nutrients it needs to maintain proper health and balanced function.

Many negative calorie foods are readily available and affordable at our local supermarket, farmers market, and grocery isles.

Some Negative Calorie Veggies:

Broccoli
Asparagus
Celery
Spinach
Carrots
Parsnips
Radishes
Rutabagas
Turnips
Cucumber
Chicory
Lettuce
Celery root
Zucchini
Green Beans
Hot Chili Peppers

Some Negative Calorie Fruits

Watermelon
Pineapple
Grape Fruit
Papaya
Apples
Cranberries

Although they do not fit within the negative calorie food category, citrus fruits also aid the body in metabolizing and eliminating fats, and therefore are a great ally for weight loss. Among them, lemon especially has amazing tonic properties that help detox the liver naturally. This is significant since the liver is one of the largest and most important organs of our bodies.

A sluggish liver cannot breakdown fats and sugars properly, which causes the entire metabolism to slow down. Without the liver’s optimal performance, losing weight becomes a monumental and sometimes insurmountable task.

Green tea (although it is not considered a food) not only has minimum calories, but numerous studies have shown that it actually helps the body to burn calories more efficiently-- besides providing healthy antioxidants that act as a tonic for the entire body.

Including these items in your daily diet is a great way to incorporate fiber-rich and wholesome foods that can complement your weight-loss program and keep you satisfied.

Did you know that the average American consumes between 5,000-6,000 calories and a whopping 229 grams of fat on Thanksgiving Day alone? There is also a staggering increase in the intake of calories from beverages by 94 percent during the holidays.

With an average weight gain of five pounds (although some studies suggest this could be less) these holiday indulgences are significantly increasing the risk of heart attack, diabetes, and obesity.

While staying in shape is often bumped to the bottom of our “to-do list”, it is especially important to avoid gaining weight during the holidays, which can just add to heightened seasonal stress.. In addition, exercise is a great outlet for reducing holiday-related tensions.

It is important to fit in at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, even during a busy holiday schedule. And, remember don’t stop! Establishing a regular workout routine that you can maintain all the way into the New Year can help you improve your stress levels, get into better shape, and be healthier all year round.

Here are 13 Tips to Actually Enjoy Exercising

Make it a Habit - Remove the thinking element. If you can make exercise a habit, then it becomes that much easier to go.
Get a Partner - Get someone else to go to the gym with you. Pick someone who is committed to their health. Not only can you socialize with someone while you’re there, but you’ll have a backup in case your motivation alone isn’t enough to drag yourself out there.
Tune Your Challenge Level - Here are two bad ways to start exercising. (1) Going out and running until you are winded and dry-heaving into a ditch, or (2) Showing up to the gym, walking around, not doing anything strenuous, and going back home. In one case you put the challenge level too high; the other wasn’t challenging at all. Your goal is to set a workout routine that is challenging, but not overwhelming. Challenge is key to enjoyment.
Set Goals - Not weight-loss or muscle-gain goals, but fitness goals. Set goals to beat your own past records in distance run, push-ups or chin-ups you can do, weight you can lift, or degree you can stretch. Fitness goals make the gym a game where you strive to beat your previous highest score.
Get Past Your Comfort Zone - So what if you aren’t the most svelte or muscular person in the gym? Self-consciousness can be a big obstacle to enjoying your workout. The key is to get used to it. When you continue to show up, you’ll pay less attention to the people around you and more to your workout.
Experiment - Don’t stick with the same routine. Mix it up and try different activities. There are many different exercise routines you can follow or activities to try. If you don’t like lifting weights or running, try sports, martial arts, or dancing. Assuming that exercise needs to be pumping iron or jogging may limit you from finding something you would truly enjoy.
Music - This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but music can enhance a workout. Often running is more enjoyable with music than without it.
Short Workouts - Don’t have time or enthusiasm to last an hour? Just go for twenty or thirty minutes. Shorter workouts can be better than longer ones if the intensity is higher, causing you to become more focused as a result. After an hour or two of exercise, your body starts to go into a state where more exercise can actually reduce physical improvements.
Daily Challenges - Make your workout into a game. Sticking with the same type of exercises can get boring, so mix it up by introducing an unusual workout challenge. My gym partner and I have played a game that involves sit-ups and a deck of cards, or one workout day that involves different types of push-ups. If you aren’t sure where to get ideas, look through a magazine like Men’s Fitness, which usually features a variety of different workouts.
Reward Showing Up, Not Weight Loss - Some people have gotten the idea that they should reward themselves for losing weight or gaining muscle. I disagree. Instead, I think you should reward yourself by showing up to the gym and exercising regularly. There are many ways you can lose or gain weight in unhealthy fashions. Rewarding yourself through exercise is rewarding your commitment to health.
Make Exercise Your Stress Relief - I know many people that swear by using the gym to relieve stress. Some of them will head to the gym because of a frustrating day even if it isn’t on their schedule. Exercising can be cathartic and release negative feelings if you get used to using it that way. Then instead of avoiding the gym because of a stressful day, it will be your reason to go.
Record Performance Advancements – I recommend recording fitness over body improvements. Recording weight loss or muscle gain is a good idea, but because of the way your metabolism functions, it becomes increasingly harder to make weight changes as you go to the gym more regularly. But fitness improvements can, if you work on it, continue to rise. Keep a record of your strength, endurance and flexibility so you can take pride in your accomplishments.
Make Time - You can’t say you don’t have time to exercise. Exercise improves your energy levels and mood, leading to greater productivity, which overrides any time lost. Find your forty minutes somewhere in the day and make it a commitment. Get up a bit earlier and go in the morning, or schedule it right after work before you settle down for the day. Once you make time and make it a habit, you’ll actually want to exercise instead of just feeling you should.
