Nutrition and Healthy Eating

Food Mistakes that can Impede Weight Loss

  1. Hidden Sugars (read labels). Try to keep daily intake of sugar to under 25 grams per day.
  2. Too much of the "Fat-Free". 60% of Brain mass is made up of healthy fat. By limiting your calories from fat to less than 25% increases anger, anxiety and mood swings according to (British Journal of Nutrition). So get at least 40% of calories from "good" fat.
  3. Eating only Egg Whites. Yokes are a main source of Choline (vital for the Brain). New studys show that yolks do not raise cholesterol levels. The yolk contains 40% of the egg's protein.
  4. No Breakfast. Eating Breakfast can raise your metabolic rate by about 10%. It doesn't have to be a large breakfast. One cup of Fresh/Frozen fruit & a few Almonds will do.
  5. Not Replenishing after Exercising. Eat within 30 minutes of working out to deliver nutrients to your muscles.
  6. Eating "Healthy" Packeged Foods. Processed foods may be convenient, but they are not nutrient dense.

Supplemental Assessment

Have you ever found it difficult to decide which nutritional supplements you should be taking?

Have you ever walked into a health food store and saw the aisles and aisles of supplements and became so overwhelmed that you just walked out of the store? I have. Let me help take the guess work out of your nutritional supplement decision.

In my practice I use the Compass System, a stimulus-response feedback technology called GSR (Galvanic Skin Response). This help take the guess work out of supplementation. The technology helps you decide which supplements are preferred by your body. Giving you the peace of mind and confidence about your nutritional supplementation decisions.

Mind-Over-Matter

Your Body, Chemistry & Food. It’s not just a matter of Will-Power or Mind-over-Matter.

Understanding the Chemistry of Food & nutrition will help you Achieve & Maintain a healthy body weight as well as live a Healthier life.

Leptin

The hormone Leptin is made in the fat tissues or adipose tissue and is a regulator of satiety.
Its key purpose (was originally thought to be obesity) but it really is to signal the brain when the body has accumulated enough fat in adulthood and to assure the calories needed for successful pregnancy.
