Nutrition Tips 101
- Eating too few calories slows metabolism and makes it harder to lose weight.
- An increase of 3,500 calories over your body's energy theoretically leads to a
one pound weight gain.
- Eat 4-5 smaller balanced meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism
on an even burn.
- Weight loss should occur at a rate of 1-2 pounds per week and should be
accompanied by an exercise program.
- Drink water to remain hydrated throughout the day.
- Reduce calorie intake with small changes - low fat substitutions over richer items.
- Use skim milk to save 90 calories per cup over whole milk.
- Maintain portion control. Avoid overeating.
- Don't skip breakfast - it boosts metabolism and prevents hunger and
overeating at lunch.
- When making food choices, decide wisely. What you eat may just stay with
you as stored FAT for a long time.
