Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Daylight Savings Is Here. During winter it's easy to blow off the gym when it gets dark at 4:30. Well, there's nothing like a little extra sunshine to give you that energy boost to kick-start your exercise routine. Even if you have been working out faithfully all winter, now's your chance to both increase your activity level and spice up your exercise routine to keep yourself from getting bored. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Be mindful when you eat. Ever catch yourself eating while you are reading a book, driving to work, or watching TV? In todays fast pace society it is really easy to do so. Challenge yourself to be more aware when you eat. And take the time out of your day to sit down and eat at least one meal with no other distractions. Listen to your stomach and try not to stuff yourself. Try eating slowly and stopping when you are no longer hungry. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Hmmmm, should I eat a donut or toast for breakfast? Each day we are faced with tough food decisions. From food billboard advertisements on our way to work, to food commercials while we are watching TV, we are constantly bombarded with fattening, high calorie food. Make the right decision. Think before you eat, and make sure the calories are worth it. If you're not sure of a food's caloric make-up, look it up on ballynutrition.com. And other sources for caloric make up too. If you need any, let me know, I get some links for you! Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com From apples to broccoli to cantaloupe, learning to eat healthy is like learning the alphabet. It takes time and practice, but once you've got it down, it's easy. Experiment with all different types of fruits and veggies and if you have children include them too. Children and adults are more likely to try eating something new when they have helped prepare or cook it!  Enjoy! Shalom!

| Weight Loss Tip!
Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Keep a supply on hand of your favorite vegetable snacks such as baby carrots; celery and even broccoli can also be bought in ready-to-eat packaging. Don't like veggies? There are other snacking choices such as light popcorn, 100% whole grain cereal with skim milk, or a piece of fruit. With fruit, the possibilities are endless like apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, grapefruit, and berries. Not only are these healthy, low calorie snacks, but all of them are a great source of fiber. If I follow this tip, the dependency deception problem won't be too bad!  Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com There are many ways to work fitness into your family's daily routine. It's as easy as taking the dog for a walk after school or playing a quick game of tag before dinner. Another great idea is to make homework breaks into five-minute fitness breaks. A quick set of jumping jacks, push-ups or a lap around the house will not only get you moving and provide a quick cardio workout, but it will also recharge your body and keep you alert so you can get back to the books. This technique will help your brain organize the material you are studying too! It's actually a very good study tool, as well as a workout. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com A Small Piece of Chocolate a Day. Had a craving for chocolate lately? You're in good company. Chocolate is the number one food craved by women. When we're feeling low or run down, a bit of chocolate not only is a way to pamper ourselves, but it actually works with our brain chemistry to lift our moods and make us feel better. The combination of sugar and fat in chocolate elevates serotonin and endorphins. By raising them you feel happier and more relaxed. Not bad for about a hundred calories.  Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Do you love cheese? Many of us do and would certainly hate to give it up. There is some good news for cheese lovers, though. Cheese is an excellent source of calcium. There is no disputing that fact. More importantly, cheese makers are now offering low-fat, non-fat or light cheeses. By incorporating these into your cooking and baking, you can decrease your fat consumption from cheese by 50 percent or more. Indulge with the least amount of damage. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Having trouble meeting the daily calcium requirement? Have you ever thought of trying chocolate milk? Chocolate milk offers the same nutrients as white milk. It also has less than half the amount of sugar than a soft drink or juice does, and has very little caffeine (a soft drink has about ten times as much). Low and non-fat varieties keep fat and calories in check. The daily recommended calcium requirement is about 1200 mg per day, and a glass of milk contains about 300 mg. Personally, I like coffee milk -- but, it's a New England thing. Most people have never heard of it. Globalization, slobalization!  Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Mile High Meals. Airline meals today aren't what they used to be. These days you're lucky to get a soggy turkey sandwich on a hard roll. Here are some tried and true, quick tips for healthy mile high meals: Use the mustard, not the mayo to cut calories. Throw the pre-packaged brownie or cookie into your carry-on for a hunger emergency later - don't eat it out of boredom now. If the roll is inedible and tough, don't eat it - save those calories for the business dinner or family feast. This is especially important information for those of us planning on going to the SR Retreat in Palm Springs, CA next year! Shalom!

| Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Keep The Fluids Flowing The most important nutrient to replace after exercise is water. Exercisers commonly lose 1-3 pounds of fluid from sweat per hour. This easily leads to a loss of more than 2% of body weight in fluids. This small amount of fluid loss will diminish both mental and physical capacity. And if muscle cells are not well hydrated, protein synthesis is slowed, reducing the recovery and growth of muscle tissue. Drink a minimum of 10 cups of fluid per day on exercise days. TEN CUPS!!!  (I'll be up all night!!!) Shalom!

I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier. I just didn't see it on time. However, summertime is FILLED with bbqs and cookouts and picnics. So, the tip works for the summertime! Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Memorial Day is synonymous with barbecues: hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad and ice cream. But don't end your healthy diet and bathing suit ready figure! Instead, start by taking advantage of healthy foods. Enjoy plenty of fruits and veggies, which are fresh and delicious. If you're grilling, cook a veggie kabob as part of the meal. The trick is to eat the veggie kabob first, so you take the hunger-edge off before digging into high calorie/high fat foods, such as burgers and chips.  Oh, and welcome to SR, Captainee! I'm glad you enjoy the posts. L'Chaim!

This is probably the best "to do" post I've read thus far! Short, repetitive series of different fitness moves make the difference. Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com It doesn't have to take extra hours at the gym for you to look your best. Take advantage of TV time! It's a commercial break, so what do you do? Instead of grabbing a snack, hit the floor! During these couple-minute breaks do traditional crunches, side-to-side crunches and/or lower abdominal crunches. You can also use breaks to lunge around the house. In a thirty-minute TV show you can work your abs, glutes and thighs. Shalom!

Bring a raw veggie tray with low-fat dip to a July 4th gathering to help keep your snacking calories low. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http:// www. ballynutrition.com Are you eating your vegetables? Sneak veggies into your meals by adding a 1/2 cup to a bowl of soup or pasta. Start dinner off with a salad. Aim for at least 3 servings daily. A 1/2 cup of cooked vegetables or 1 cup of raw vegetables counts as a serving. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http:// www. ballynutrition. com Do you skip breakfast? If you do, you are missing the most important meal of the day. Breakfast equals breaking your fast! After fasting all night, breakfast can kick-start your energy level. It will also help jump-start your metabolism, increasing the number of calories you burn throughout the day. If you choose healthful, slow-burning foods such as whole grains and fruits, you should be able to control your appetite until midday. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http:// www. ballynutrition. com Fresh salads are a great summer meal. Be cautious of the added croutons, cheese, bacon, and salad dressing. They can really bring a salad down. Ask for these items on the side so they can be added in smaller amounts. Opt for a low-fat dressing whenever possible. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness http://www.ballynutrition.com Do you know where you should look when reading a food label? Nutrition labels have an abundance of information. But if losing weight is your #1 priority, then "serving size" and "calories per serving" are the most important line items! With this information you can compare two similar food items and choose the lower calorie one. Shalom!

Weight Loss Tip Brought to you by Bally Total Fitness www. ballynutrition. com August is National Blueberry Month. Did you know that blueberries could be one of the keys to living a ripe old age? Blueberries are packed with antioxidants that may help prevent some types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Out of 40 different fruits and vegetables, the blueberry comes in with the highest antioxidant level. Add some fresh blueberries to your cereal or try mixing frozen blueberries in a breakfast smoothie. Shalom! (PS; Or make a fresh blueberry pie! I did a few weeks ago. )
