Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition .com This week, winter begins. Just because it is winter and the trend is to eat less fresh vegetables, you still can get plenty of vegetables in warm dishes. When making pot roast, add more vegetables than the traditional carrots and potatoes. Include crushed tomatoes, green beans, turnips, celery root and parsnips. Do the same with soups. If you make a chicken noodle soup, add carrots, celery, mushrooms and peas. These are surefire ways to get your daily intake of vegetables and warm your bones. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Feeling like during this time that you can't have a thing and still lose weight? Don't worry. There are many low calorie foods and snacks that can fit in your meal plan during the holidays. Vegetables offer a variety of options that are low calorie. Sugar free gelatin desserts and popsicles are a refreshing end to a meal. For beverages, choose coffee, tea and diet soda. Save the high fat foods and desserts for the holiday party. Don't feel like you have to deprive yourself too much this season. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com New Years Eve: A Night of Food, Fun and Beverage. New Years is a traditional time to indulge in food and drink. Alcohol contributes to obesity due to the high calorie content, because it reduces the body's ability to burn fat and it stimulates hunger. Try to alternate your drinks with some water. The water will keep you hydrated and slow the rate of drinking. Keep in mind that it is recommended that women drink no more than 1 drink a day and men drink no more than 2 drinks a day. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Christmas Cravings. The Christmas holiday is filled with delicious food, desserts and drinks that are hard to avoid. To avoid overeating, have a small snack such as chopped vegetables before you head to the party or while you are preparing the meal. At the party, start with a salad and choose water as a beverage. Next, fill your dinner plate once and sit down. Avoid returning to the buffet table for seconds. You can still enjoy the celebration and enjoy your meal! Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com One piece of bread before dinner could equal anywhere between 100-200 calories. Skipping those bread calories could allow you to have a glass of wine or dessert instead. Choose wisely! Make the most of your meals when you eat out. Decide what is important to you. If you love bread, have the bread before your dinner. Choose one piece and eat it slowly. Or if there is a dessert on the menu you are craving, split it with your fellow diners. By making smart choices you can end your evening out feeling both satisfied and guilt-free. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition .com If you start the day with orange juice, don't miss the chance to get calcium too. This superstar mineral fends off PMS, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. It might even help you lose weight! Most calcium-fortified orange and grapefruit juices have as much calcium as milk--or more! But juices aren't calorie-free; 4 ounces is considered a serving, so remember to check labels and keep an eye on your serving size. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition .com Having a snack attack? Always carry low-fat snacks with you or keep them in your desk at work. Snacks such as dried or fresh fruit or a small bag of nuts or pretzels are good options that will make you less tempted to buy high-fat items from vending machines or while you are out. Look ahead to your week and plan your grocery list so you have them on hand. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition .com Choose high-fiber cereals. Pick cereal with at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. Eating cereal is the easiest way to get lots of fiber in a small serving. Not only is fiber a cancer fighter, but it also can decrease your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol. Try to eat at least 25 grams of fiber a day. Shalom!

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. Got a bit overwhelmed for a while there... Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness From ballynutrition . com Have a sweet tooth? Make fruit kebabs for a nutrient-packed and energy-boosting dessert. Pineapples, bananas, apples, and pears are great raw, but they also cook well when placed either directly on the grill or wrapped in tinfoil first. Serve with a nonfat yogurt or fat-free whipped cream. This tasty treat will have your guests begging for more fruit! This sounds really good. Has anyone ever done it? I've done pinapple with shrimp teriyaki on the grill, but, never a fruit kabab. The pinapple was delicious though!  Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition .com Something's fishy. Fish is an excellent addition to your meal plan because it provides protein and a healthy source of fat. Tuna, salmon, herring, and mackerel in moderate servings will keep your weight loss program afloat! Fish is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help to increase good cholesterol, reduce your risk of heart disease, and reduce blood pressure. Make a point to get 3 servings of fish each week. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition. com Hold the salt. Substitute seasonings when trying to reduce your salt intake. Next time you're shopping for seasonings, look for salt-free versions of your favorites or mix herbs together for a brand new flavor. Great herbs to use are paprika, oregano, garlic, chili, mustard, or pepper. Just because you need to be careful with salt doesn't mean you have to lose all of the flavor. Spice up your dishes with seasonings today. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition. com Looking for something quick, easy, and healthy? Everyone knows frozen entrees are easy meals, but pay attention to the nutrition labels. Choose entrees with less than 10 grams of fat and 300 calories. Also be conscious of sodium content--try to choose a meal with less than 600 milligrams of sodium. Maximize the nutritional value of frozen meals by adding salad, vegetables, or skim milk. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness www. ballynutrition.com In a rush and need something to eat? Run to the microwave. Throw some fresh or frozen green beans in a bowl filled a quarter of the way with water and microwave them. Season to taste with herbs and spices. It's fast, retains vitamins and color in the vegetables, and best of all you don't need to add fat. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness www . ballynutrition.com Ask and you shall receive. When eating out, don't be afraid to ask how many eggs are on a salad or in an omelet or how many ounces in a steak. This information allows you to decide whether to share this meal with someone else or ask for half of it now and the other half packaged to take home. Being aware of the preparation of the food will help you make the best decision for your meal. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition .com Are you a soda junkie? Do you down 3-4 sodas every day? Are you aware that sodas provide absolutely no nutritional value other than calories? For the most part, they contain nothing but sugar. Diet sodas are a better choice when watching your calories. Diet sodas are not much better nutrition-wise than regular sodas, but they are calorie-free. If you really want something great to drink, try water with a slice of lemon or lime for a refreshing twist. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness Ballynutrition . com Low-Fat Tips for Easter and Passover Cooking. Purchase only the leanest cuts of beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and veal. Ask your butcher to help with your selections. Trim all visible fat from the meat before cooking. Marinate meats in fat-free marinades to enhance flavors using fresh herbs, spices, mustards, flavored vinegars, wine, or citrus juices. Roast meats on a rack to allow fat to drip away. To save extra calories and fat, do not eat the skin of the roasted poultry. Enjoy your holiday. Shalom!

Keeping a balance of healthy and sweet treats will help you celebrate the holiday with great goodies. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness www. ballynutrition.com Mother's Day is approaching and it's time to plan that special brunch. However, eating healthy is sometimes difficult when you are tempted with so many choices. Make a point to only use one plate at the meal. Look for an omelet station where a chef can make you a freshly prepared egg white omelet loaded with veggies. Fill up on fresh fruit and you won't miss the high-calorie pancakes and waffles with syrup. Limit high-fat meats such as sausages and bacon. Lastly, enjoy the special day! Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness www .ballynutrition .com Cooking on the Grill. With warmer weather comes frequent cooking on the grill, so why not try veggie burgers as an option for heart health! Meatless burgers are low in fat, full of fiber, and packed with good-for-you soy protein. Be the host or the hostess with the "mostess". You can find different varieties and flavors of veggie burgers in the frozen foods section of your supermarket. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition .com Memorial Day is synonymous with barbecues: hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and ice cream. But don't let it sabotage your healthy eating plan. Instead, start by taking advantage of the healthy food options. If you are grilling, cook a veggie kabob as part of your meal. The trick is to eat the veggie kabob first so you take the hunger edge off before digging into high-calorie and high-fat foods, such as a burger, potato salad, and chips. Sorry this is late...but, it should prove helpful for the rest of the summer cook outs!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition. com Feeling Italian? Portion control is the key to eating in an Italian restaurant. Pasta dishes can usually serve up to four people! Choose a dish with tomato, clam, or garlic sauce. Start with minestrone soup and ask for a vinegar-based dressing for your salad. Be mindful of the breadbasket as well. Ask the server to only bring one piece of bread per person or ask them to not bring the basket at all. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition . com Now that the weather keeps getting nicer it is barbeque season, which is great for your weight loss program. Not only does it give food great flavor, but barbecuing is a low-fat way of cooking. Trim fat from meat to reduce calories. When seasoning, use spices and herbs instead of high-fat, sugar, and sodium products. Wrap some veggies in foil and throw them on the grill for a fresh and wonderful side dish. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness ballynutrition .com Summertime is upon us and so is the traveling season. Packing your bags does not mean that you will pack on the pounds too. Prepare yourself with food options. Research restaurant menus at your destination for nutrition information. Bring healthy snacks with you so you will be less tempted to hit the gas station for high-calorie snacks. Keep your bags packed with bottled water, fresh fruit, granola bars, or homemade trail mix. Shalom!
