FitQuick Nutrition Tip

Have a sweet tooth? My new favorite is having a Tootsie Pop. It takes a long time (if you don’t bite it..haha) and then finally get the chewy center. By the time you get done with this low calorie sweet, your satisfied. It would be way easier to eat half a bag of other kinds of loose candy; with a Tootsie Pop, you get long term sweet tooth satisfaction, with low calories.

Take care,

Good Fats part two!

Another of my favorite ways to get the “good” fat is by using Pesto! You can buy it freshly made at most grocery stores. Use it as a basting topping on grilled fish, chicken, or on pasta; in cold sandwiches, etc. Great flavor and great for weight loss programs, as you need the good fat!!! Fat also satisfies your appetite and does NOT rush your blood sugar!

Take care,

Exercise & Nutrition Journal

Nutrition & Exercise Journal

If you are a past or current client of mine, you understand the value of making a written commitment on these two things. Putting your plan to paper, as in writing your exercise homework from me (if I didn’t hand it to you), solidifies your intention. It is cause in making you more likely to stick to it.

If you are on a weight management program, you understand the major value of writing on a food log sheet . You understand how seeing it in writing – what you consumed, and jotting your meal plans, helps keep you on track.

There isn’t enough space here for me to emphasize the value of committing to paper what your exercise intention for the week is, nor the value in weight management and well being of putting to paper what you are eating during the week.

Tip for the week: Write it down. Put it on your calendar “take 15 minute walk before work”. You will make time for it this way. Writing in the food log will be a HUGE value and major hindrance to “amnesia eating” and will lead to weight loss.

Take care,

Margo

Energy Label on drinks and foods

margo-personaltrainer — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:47:13 +0000

It drives me nuts when companies use the word ENERGY to sell drinks and bars. They come in nice brightly colored packaging of cobalt blue and purple. They have lightening bolts and photos of people sky diving and simulating fast motion and fun, fun, fun.

When the label says “energy” I want you to NOT buy it. If something says “energy drink” or “energy bar” you couldn’t make me ingest it. It will be loaded with something I don’t want in my body, nor should it be in yours. That most likely is a LOT of added SUGAR – or worse, High Fructose Corn Syrup, along with caffiene and more sugar (both disguised with another name to trick you). Go ahead and google high fructose corn syrup…it’s illegal in any food product in most countries but NOT this country.

I’m keeping this blog post to the point. Do NOT buy anything being marketed with the word “energy” on it.

Have a great day,

Margo
