Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness www. ballynutrition. com Dining out is one of the most popular things we do for entertainment. We often make the mistake of eating very little during the day to prepare for a big dinner. However, showing up to the restaurant starving can cause most of us to overeat. Don't skip meals the day of a dinner out or it will likely contribute to weight gain. Take any leftovers home for a quick lunch the next day. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Get your kids involved in the kitchen. This will help them learn about the importance of food and nutrition. Let them help with meal ideas and grocery shopping. Give them age-appropriate tasks, such as mixing or stirring. Teach them to wash their hands and clean up afterward. They will be more likely to cook healthy meals in the future if you teach them first. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness www. ballynutrition. com Many people think that eating late at night will cause you to gain weight. The truth is, it is how MUCH you eat not WHEN you eat that makes a difference. To help curb late-night hunger, make sure you are eating 3 meals and 3 snacks daily to keep your hunger in check.. Make sure your meals include both carbohydrates and protein to keep you full longer. Always keep healthy snacks in the house for late-night munching. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness www. ballynutrition. com Did you know that the average American eats 193 sandwiches per year? A sandwich can be a very healthy meal, depending on how you build it. Use whole grain bread, lean meats, low-fat mayonnaise or other low-fat dressing, and finish it off with some fresh vegetables such as tomato, lettuce, onions, and bell peppers. Choose a side of veggies or fruit instead of chips. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Navigating Your Way on Columbus Day. For some of us, Columbus Day weekend is a travel weekend. Be sure to keep your eating habits in check while you are out and about. Wherever you go, throw some fruit or an energy bar in your bag as a quick snack. While dining out, ask your server to bring you half of the meal and box the rest. In this way, you can still enjoy your meal without going overboard on calories. Planning ahead is the best way to keep yourself on track. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Feeling Nutty? Indulging in nuts is a healthy way to add protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals into your meals. Nuts are cholesterol-free and are a source of "good" or unsaturated fat, which when included in your diet every day may improve cardiovascular health. Nuts are a great addition to a meal plan when eaten in the right portion size. The rule of thumb is that one serving of nuts fits in the palm of a cupped hand. If you are unsure, weigh one ounce of nuts on a food scale. Weighing is so important today. We've lost all sense of portion due to the super sizing at restaurants. There's one way I can hope to regain a sense of control over my eating patterns. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Happy Halloween! Halloween is a time when sweets are in abundance. Keeping control of the sweets can be a challenge, but using these simple strategies can help. Right before trick-or-treating, make a healthy meal for you and your family. If you are full, you will be less likely to sneak candy. If you have leftover candy, or the kids come home with a bushel of it, pick a few of your favorites and put the rest of it away. Save the candy for an after dinner treat during the rest of the week. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Fruit of the Month: Plantains. Plantains are a part of the banana family and look like a big banana. Plantains can be grilled and served as a side dish, they can be added to soups and stews, can be mashed like a potato or added to desserts. Plantains are a healthy fruit because they are low in sodium, high in vitamin A, which helps promote healthy eyes, and potassium for normal fluid balance, as well as fiber. Try adding plantains as a side dish to your Thanksgiving meal! I tried plantains this past year while living in the city. Many of our students eat them regularly. I never heard of them until I moved here. They're made a few different ways; sometimes they are good; othertimes, not so good. But, I'd recommend them. Just get a decent recipe!  Hmmm...the hispanic kids around here tend to eat them fried. Probably not what this weight loss tip had in mind! :nono:  Shalom!
