How much?• 20-30% of total calories• Very low fat diets often lack energy & nutrients• High fat diets tend to cause sluggishness and
weight gain
![Page 13: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Weight Loss…The proven way
• Energy In < Energy Out• Safe weight loss = 1-2 pounds per week• The faster it is lost, the more likely it is to
come back!
![Page 14: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why We Gain Weight• Real WEIGHT GAIN occurs when and only
when your CALORIES IN exceed your CALORIES OUT for an extended period of time
• 500 calories/day x 7 = 3500 calories = 1 lb– Burn an additional 500 calories/day =
lose 1 pound/week– Consume an additional 500 calories/day =
gain 1 pound/week
![Page 15: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Bottom Line

Breakfast
• Believe it or not, breakfast can help you lose weight!
• Eat a hearty breakfast to kick start your day• Consume calories throughout the day vs. at
night• Include carbohydrates and protein to keep
you fueled
![Page 22: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dining Out Can Be Healthy• Choose lean chicken and fish• Choose foods that are steamed, broiled,
roasted, poached, stir-fried or baked instead of fried or sautéed
• Choose marinara pasta sauces instead of creamy sauces
• Beware of high-fat salad dressings- order dressing on the side
• Unlimited chips or bread… a quick way to boost calorie intake
![Page 23: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dining Out Do’s and Don’ts
• Split the meal with a friend• Order a take-out bag immediately and
put half away• Ask your server how food is prepared
and modify if necessary• Alcohol before dinner can increase
appetite• Limit “add-ons” like chips and bread
![Page 24: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Fiber Can Be Your FriendWhat’s so great about fiber?
• “Speeds things up”• Binds cholesterol• Helps you feel full• Takes longer to digest• Resists the “insulin surge”
![Page 26: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Food and Mood
• Eating for reasons other than hunger can sabotage your weight loss efforts
• Identify patterns by writing down when and why you eat for reasons other than hunger
• A good rule of thumb = Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. Simple, right?

Fad Diets• “FAD”, defined by Webster’s 2nd college
edition: “A custom, style, etc. that many people are interested in for a short time; passing fashion; craze”
• Fad diets are not new- remember the no-fat craze, the combination diets, the grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet?
• Fad diets are not geared towards long-term lifestyle changes that most people are willing to stick with
![Page 29: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Latest Fads…
![Page 30: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Atkins PlanSources: http://atkins.com; New York Times, January 18, 2004
• 20-60 grams carb/day, depending on your personal “Critical Carbohydrate Level for Losing”
• Emphasizes red meat, cheese and butter as “foods you may eat liberally”
• Low/ no milk and grains• Few fruits• Missing key vegetables• Low calorie
![Page 31: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Atkin’s PlanWhy it works• Foods high in fat and protein promote satiety• Eat fewer caloriesWhat is right• Reduce/ cut out refined sugars and empty
caloriesWhat is wrong• Miss out on key nutrients• Boring!• Heart and kidney health• Once eating returns to normal, so will weight
![Page 32: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Low-carb Marketing• Over 600 new low-carb products introduced this year• Sales may exceed $15 billion this year• Low-carb products appeal to convenience eaters
• Problem: A calorie is still a calorie. Many dieters consuming these products are claiming to have stopped losing weight.
• Fact: Low-carb foods are not necessarily low calorie foods. It is overeating calories that makes us gain weight, not overeating carbohydrates.
![Page 33: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Don’t be Fooled: Fad diets still up to their old tricks
• “Carb-controlled” treats including breads, sweets and bars
• Sound familiar? The early 90s were filled with low/no-fat products including crackers, cookies and diet bars- yet we overate these products and wondered why we didn’t lose weight
• FACT: History repeats itself. Low-carb snacks, wraps, cookies and bars are still packed with calories despite their low “net carbs” – and we’re overeating again
![Page 34: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

South Beach DietWhat is says• Relies on the Glycemic IndexWhat is right• Encourages whole foods instead of refined
foods and foods high in sugarWhat is wrong• GI does not accurately assess the way
your body deals with meals
![Page 36: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Trend or Fad?• Fad Diets are successful because in the end,
you are eating fewer calories• Does the eating plan make you happy or are
you constantly obsessed with food?• The question is…Can you maintain
this diet for the rest of your life?
![Page 37: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Weight Loss Supplements
![Page 38: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Weight Loss Supplements
Not a safe alternative
• Not regulated by FDA!• Affects each person differently• Expensive• Non-ephedra products can be just as
dangerous
Do you want to buy these for the rest of your life?
![Page 39: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
A Weight Loss Plan• Think in terms of a lifestyle change, not
short-term “diet”• Set realistic goals• Make gradual changes• Each person is different• Experiment to find what
works for you• Expect to be successful!
![Page 40: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 41: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Meals vs. GrazingShould I eat:• 3 regular meals• 3 small meals with snacks• 6 small meals/ snacks
• This is a personal preference and depends on your schedule and what you consider a “meal” and a “snack”
• Keep calorie needs in mind
![Page 42: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Next…• Get a journal- record progress, set-backs,
thoughts and feelings• Try new recipes• Take healthy snacks with you• Try to eat at home more and eat out less• If you do eat away from home, make
healthy choices- Don’t be afraid to ask for modifications
• Eat slowly and savor mealtime• Not sure if you are hungry?
Take a walk first
![Page 43: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Drink plenty of water• If you like soda- drink diet• You’re never to old to pack your lunch• Don’t starve yourself…you’ll end up overeating later• Let yourself indulge in your favorite foods…just
watch portion sizes• Get an exercise buddy• Do active things that you actually like!• Curb late night eating• Watch out for the Saturday night 6 pack• Don’t be too hard on yourself
Indulge…but in moderation!
![Page 44: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Do it for you, not anyone else• Focus on health benefits and the way you feel and
you won’t be disappointed• Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results
immediately- healthy weight loss takes time• You may hit a plateau in your weight loss…this is
natural and you may have to reevaluate your plan• Reward yourself with things other than food
Remember, eating is supposed to be FUN and there is more to life than obsessing over food!
![Page 45: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Healthy Snacks• Air-popped or “light” popcorn• Raw veggies and low-fat dip• Baby carrots• Fruit• Pretzels• PB & B sandwich• Sliced turkey• Dry cereal• Hummus• Yogurt• Homemade smoothie• Baked chips and salsa• Latte with skim milk

A Healthy Eater…respects the difference between
carbohydrate foods: nutrient-dense vs. nutrient-poor/calorie-dense carbs
AND…… respects the difference between fats:
saturated, trans-fat, mono and poly unsaturated fats
AND……knows that in addition to choosing the right
foods most of the time, all foods can fit
![Page 47: Nutrition and weight loss talk](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070603/554b4e75b4c905793d8b458e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
