Eat More, Lose Weight

You're likely a pro at comparing calories and carbs when choosing between two foods. But what you might overlook is how filling the foods are. Figuring out what will satisfy your hunger yet keep your daily calorie intake on target is easier than you might think......


Figuring Out Fullness

If you compare 1-1/4 cups fresh strawberries with two 6-inch strawberry-flavor licorice twists, both have around 60 calories and 15 grams of carbohydrate, but the big bowl of strawberries would be more filling. Rolls explains why.....


Reducing Density

Rolls gives these guidelines for picking low calorie-dense foods that will help fill your plate (and your tummy) while you cut calories......

10 Pantry Foods to Pitch for a Healthier Diabetic Diet

Make 2015 the Year of Making Healthier Choices! From the Diabetic Living On Line website it's 10 Pantry Foods to Pitch for a Healthier Diabetic Diet. Eat healthy!



10 Pantry Foods to Pitch for a Healthier Diabetic Diet

When hunger hits, what’s stocked in your pantry is ultimately what ends up on your plate. And if you’re like most people, some not-so-good options sneak into your kitchen. Make a clean sweep of your eating habits, starting with pitching these unhealthy foods from your pantry in favor of more diabetes-friendly swaps.



Crumb Piecrusts

Ready-made graham cracker and cookie-crumb piecrusts are often laced with artery-clogging trans fat. In fact, some crumb-style crusts pack as much as 2.5 grams of trans fat per serving, which ranks them near the top of the list of trans-fat-laden foods. .....



Processed Cheese

Whether sold in shelf-stable blocks, jars, or spray cans, processed cheese offers twice the sodium of natural cheese. Plus, processed cheese has up to 4 grams of carbohydrate per ounce, with only half the protein of natural cheeses, such as low-fat mozzarella and cheddar (which are virtually carb-free).....

10 Power Foods You Should Eat This Winter
Include these wintertime power foods for diabetes in your meal plan to keep your health on top. Try

them in our delicious diabetic recipes!



New Year, New You

Boost your health this season with the freshest winter ingredients. Learn which foods are at their peak during these chilly months, as well as how to pick them, how to cook them, and why they're healthy. These foods are easy to incorporate into a diabetes meal plan and will tantalize your taste buds all winter long.



Brussels Sprouts

These small bulbs grow along stalks and have a taste and texture similar to cabbage. Brussels sprouts take a long time to grow and are best harvested in winter. In the produce aisle, look for sprouts that are green with little yellowing. To prepare this delicate vegetable, use fresh Brussels sprouts (refrigerate them for up to two days); rinse with cool water and remove the outer leaves.....



Pomegranate

The edible seeds of a pomegranate are the real fruit of this dry-climate-grown produce. In the United States, pomegranates are typically grown in California and Arizona, where humidity is scarce. The bright red seeds are surrounded by membranes inside and protected by a thick and colorful skin.

Pomegranates are the perfect balance between tart and sweet. Throw these seeds on top of salads, or eat them plain. You can also cook down the seeds and reduce the juice into a delectable syrup perfect for topping off whole wheat pancakes....

Looking for a quick weeknight dinner recipe? Try our Kale Salad with Bacon-Blue Cheese Vinaigrette for a healthy, low-calorie recipe ready in 30 minutes.



Chickpea, Chorizo & Spinach Soup
Chorizo lends this Mediterranean-inspired spinach soup recipe a smoky paprika flavor, and since the chorizo is sautéed first, much of the fat is drained away. Be sure to buy dry-cured, salami-style Spanish chorizo, not soft, Mexican-style sausage by the same name.....



Kale Salad with Bacon-Blue Cheese Vinaigrette
Hot roasted potatoes in this healthy kale salad recipe wilt the kale just enough to make it tender. Bacon and blue cheese layer on smoky, salty flavors to stand up to the flavor of the kale. Go for a strong blue cheese—we enjoy the tanginess of Maytag. Serve this salad with steak or chicken.

5 Bad Eating Habits and How to Break Them

From the EatingWell website it's 5 Bad Eating Habits and How to Break Them.



5 Bad Eating Habits and How to Break Them

How breaking 5 bad eating habits can help you lose weight.
Struggling to keep your weight in check? As a registered dietitian and associate nutrition editor of EatingWell Magazine, I know there are several diet-derailing habits that can sabotage your weight-loss efforts. Find out if any of these are trumping your best efforts and learn how to get back on track.



1. Bad Habit to Break: Keeping Tempting Foods Around
It’s hard to resist temptation when it’s staring you in the face. When office workers were given candies in clear dishes to place on their desks, they helped themselves to candy 71 percent more often than a similar group that was given the same candy in opaque dishes so that the candy wasn’t visible, according to research by Brian Wansink, Ph.D., director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab in Ithaca, New York. “We’re all on the ‘see-food’ diet,” he says, “so don’t let yourself see what you don’t want to eat.” Do yourself a favor and keep tempting foods out of your sight. If you’re going to keep snacks at home, stash them inside a cupboard; keep apples out on the counter....




2. Bad Habit to Break: Skipping Breakfast
You might think that skipping breakfast—a whole meal!—would help you cut calories, but the research says that eating breakfast can better help you lose weight. Breakfast eaters tend to weigh less and are more successful at losing weight—and keeping it off—than those who skip the meal. What’s more, people who typically eat breakfast also get more fiber, calcium, vitamins A and C, riboflavin, zinc and iron—and less fat and dietary cholesterol. Perhaps it’s because they often eat cereal, which is fortified with vitamins and minerals, and fruit, which is naturally nutrient-rich. Not hungry when you first get up? Don’t worry. Eating breakfast doesn’t have to be the first thing you do each day. Just make sure that when you do eat, your meal is something that will sustain you for a few hours—it should include some fiber and protein....

How to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

It's tough not to add a pound or two  over the Holidays. So to help you with that, from the EatingWell website, it's How to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain.




Tips and tricks for sidestepping the healthy-eating obstacles the season throws your way.

The holiday season can be nutty. Between all the holiday concerts, parties, decorating and entertaining, you may not be quite as in tune with what, and how much, you’re eating. Arm yourself with these stay-healthy strategies to maintain—not gain—weight during the holiday season.



The challenge: Hard-to-resist homemade holiday treats.
Stay-healthy strategy: If decadent holiday treats are your downfall, make room in your diet to eat them. Allow yourself one small treat per day—but plan for it by eliminating something else and be sure to account for the calories. If it’s too tempting to keep treats in your house, say "no thanks" next time or, if you do give in, share some with a friend.

These 5 tips to save calories are so easy to follow you won’t even miss that extra scoop of creamy dip.



1. Rest Up
Rest up the night before a holiday fête by getting at least seven hours of sleep. A recent study found that after a short night’s sleep adults ate about an extra 300 calories and tended to choose higher-fat, higher-calorie foods.

Low-Calorie, High-Fiber Summer Recipes to Help You Lose Weight

From the EatingWell website it's Low-Calorie, High-Fiber Summer Recipes to Help You Lose Weight. The link for all the recipes and tips is at the end of the post.

Macaroni salad, shrimp cocktail, fish tacos and more easy summer recipes that are low in calories and high in fiber.

If you’re trying to lose weight this summer, our fiber-rich, low-calorie recipes might help you shed pounds. New research suggests a way to prevent weight gain or even encourage weight loss—without dieting. The secret? Eat more fiber. If you’re consuming 2,000 calories per day, aim to increase your fiber by 16 grams. While it helps you feel full, “fiber has no calories,” says Larry Tucker, Ph.D., lead researcher and professor in the Department of Exercise Sciences at Brigham Young University. So if you fill up on high-fiber foods you crowd out less-healthy foods, explains Tucker. These healthy, high-fiber recipes, including Macaroni Salad and Basil, Shrimp & Zucchini Pasta, are filling, low-calorie recipes that are perfect for summer.




Macaroni Salad
Old-fashioned macaroni salad sometimes contains jarred pimientos, diced ham or pickle relish, but this version is simple and deliciously plain with fresh chopped celery, carrot and onion. A combination of low-fat mayo and sour cream lightens up the dressing, and whole-wheat elbow noodles, spinach and edamame add extra nutrients....




Basil, Shrimp & Zucchini Pasta
This quick-cooking, healthy dinner is a simple combination of zucchini, shrimp and pasta flecked with plenty of fresh basil. If you have leftover cooked pasta from another meal, use it and skip Step 2. Since the recipe combines a starch, vegetables and the shrimp, all you need is a fruit or vegetable salad to round out the menu. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell....

Here's some tips on keeping that diet going, from the EatingWell web site.


6 Cooking Habits That Are Wrecking Your Diet

Cooking at home is a great way to eat healthy and cut calories, but sometimes your meal isn't as low-cal as you think. The culprit? Six common cooking habits that unintentionally add extra calories. See if you're making one of these mistakes.



Paying closer attention to your cooking habits can help you eat healthier.
Swimsuit season is right around the corner and one sure way to keep your weight in check is to ditch the takeout menu and cook at home instead. Great idea, since you control the menu and hence the calories. But it’s not a flawless plan. When you cook at home—and especially if you’re comfortable doing so—you might tend to relax "the rules" a little. Maybe you add "a few pinches" of salt or "just a dash" of oil instead of measuring it out, or you enjoy munching on your ingredients as you’re prepping. Those little things can really add up. Here are a few cooking habits that may secretly be sabotaging your diet.





1. Using Too Much Oil
It’s no secret that oil packs a lot of calories—an average of about 120 calories per tablespoon. Some recipes call for an exact amount, but many call for a "thin coating" of oil in the pan. But what exactly is a thin coating? Enough oil to just glaze the pan or half an inch? It’s always a good idea to measure oil, even if a recipe suggests you just estimate how much you need. No measurement in your recipe? Start with a tablespoon and swirl it around. If it coats your pan, then it’s probably enough. Also note that if you’re using a nonstick pan, you can use less oil than if you were using a regular stainless-steel skillet....




2. Eyeballing Ingredients
Sure, you might think you have a good idea of what a teaspoon of salt looks like or what a cup of pasta might be or a pound of meat might look like. But it’s always a good idea to measure—even if you’ve made the recipe before. Overestimating calorie-rich ingredients like pasta, oil and meat can really increase the calorie count of your meal. Keep those measuring spoons and cups handy, and invest in a good kitchen scale to ensure accurate calorie counts....

Diabetic Diets for Weight Loss

I have Diabetes 2 and I'm in a wheelchair, left leg amputee, so trying to keep the weight off is a #1 priority. From the Diabetic Living On Line we site, it's Diabetic Diets for Weight Loss. Very good and informative articles.




Diabetic Diets for Weight Loss

If you’re ready to lose weight and improve your diabetes (or kick it to the curb entirely), use an expert weight loss diet plan to guide you. We review five options for people with diabetes.





Diabetes Diet Plans
It’s only natural that certain weight loss books and programs appeal to some people more than others. Different plans might work better for different people, and finding what fit best is an individual choice. Whether you love to cook from scratch, the microwave is your best friend, you’re looking for a complete overhaul, or want to take small steps, there’s a diet plan that can help you succeed. We help you explore five diverse approaches to losing weight while maintaining a diabetes-appropriate diet.

For people with diabetes, weight loss success is not only measured by the scale, but also by blood sugar control. “People can put diabetes into remission or reverse its course if they lose weight,” says Osama Hamdy, M.D., Ph.D., medical director of the Obesity Clinical Program at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. “In my research, I’ve found that when people lose 7 percent of their body weight, their insulin sensitivity improves by 57 percent. That is better than taking two medications for diabetes at the maximum dose.”

How’s that for a little inspiration?

3 - DIET PLAN: The Diabetes Breakthrough
