Recently my mom and I were talking about our health. Now, my mom was recently diagnosed with early stages of (arthrosclerosis) or as most people know it as hardening of the arteries. This is a serious condition, and she informed me of how she planned to change her lifestyle and eating habits. I realized at that moment that I had to shed some of this excess weight too, my problem is that my weight goes up and down, and it never stays the same. So it is time for a lifestyle change. Dr. Ian has some tips for seeking a healthy lifestyle change.
Dr. Ian K. Smith:
Cut your portions in half. When you go out to a restaurant, the first thing you should do is divide the food in half and ask for it to be boxed up so you can take it home.
Add color to your diet. Avoid the white rice, pasta, potatoes and bread. Instead, choose brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, sweet potatoes and whole-grain bread. And don't forget the colorful fruits and vegetables.
Control your food environment. Keeping healthy snacks, like carrots, yogurt and almonds, on hand is the best way to prevent hunger between meals and stop you from reaching for a bag of chips or candy bar.
Eat four small meals a day. This will keep your hormone levels from spiking and prevent the excessive hunger between meals that often leads to binging on high-calorie foods.
Eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch and a pauper for dinner. Eating your heavier meals earlier in the day will give you more time to burn off the calories the rest of the day.
