Is it Really Possible to Eat More, Lose More, and Weigh Less?

Is It Really Possible to Eat More, Lose More, and Weigh Less?

Did you know that 64 percent of people in the US are overweight?  That obesity is responsible for 325,000 deaths every year?  That 27 percent of Americans are classified as obese?  And that obesity in the US is increasing at an alarming rate?  Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if we could eat the same amount – or more – and still lose weight?  Is it really possible to eat more, lose more, and weigh less?

The answer is “yes!”

Research has found that people feel full based on the amount of food they eat, not their caloric intake.  Therefore, it is possible to feel as full after eating a plate of whole-wheat pasta tossed with fresh tomatoes and olive oil as it is to consume a plate of fettuccine alfredo.  I know what you’re thinking – whole-wheat pasta doesn’t taste as good.  But does the fettuccini really taste better, especially when you consider the damage it is doing?

The number of calories in a specific amount or weight of food is called “calorie density.”  The more “dense” a food is, the more “fattening” it is.

Foods that contain a lot of water or fiber and little fat are usually considered low in calorie density.  These choices will help you feel full without adding unnecessary calories.

By trading cream-based soups for filling, broth-based soups (such as minestrone), chips for raw vegetables and hummus, French fries with baked potatoes and low-fat sour cream, you CAN eat more and lose weight.

Another trick is NOT to let yourself get too hungry.  By eating a meal low in calorie density, try NuPlus or a Sunrider VitaShake Meal every two-three hours, you can maintain a comfortable, satisfied feeling that prevents the caloric overloading when you feel famished.

Make sure you stay hydrated.  Often, people will mistake thirst for hunger.  So be sure you’re drinking enough water and other non-caloric liquids during the course of the day.  Avoid drinks such as soda, regular milk, and sugar-laden tea and coffee.

Sunrider Calli Tea and Fortune Delight tea is a great way to hydrate on an optimal cellular level, plus it’s packed with nutrition!

Take an inventory of your kitchen and replace dairy products with low- or non-fat, white rice with brown rice, white bread with grain bread, chips and pretzels with vegetables and fruit.  Eat more frequently and enjoy the lighter, healthier feeling that comes with consuming foods that are low in calorie density.

And start eating more, losing more, and weighing less today.

For your whole food nutrition diet plan that includes, Calli tea, Fortune Delight Tea, NuPlus, and Quinary call Christine at 480-491-9551 today and let’s LIVE not Diet.

Celebrating One Year of Wellness Classes!

Next Ahwatukee Heath and Wellness Class is June 12th

Every second Saturday of the month a “Health & Wellness” education class is organized which highlights local experts. These experts explain how various wellness choices can make a positive difference in our healthy lives.

On Saturday, June 12th , from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., the class will review the past twelve amazingly helpful classes that occurred last year. It’s a celebration marking one entire year of wellness classes offered to the public.

Christine Marek, a Sunrider Independent Business Owner, is the organizer and the host of this monthly event. During the year there had been more than 16 guest speakers and 330 people who have attended from as far as Kenosha, Wisconsin.

“This special health class is my way of helping our great nation with the health care reform by having wellness experts share their knowledge with anyone who is interested about the topic, “ said Ms. Marek. “I believe it’s time we all took a responsibility for our own wellness and this class offers education for us to hear ‘first hand’ what is available for optimal health.”

During the class, Sunrider Whole Foods are explained and there is also a whole food nutrition discussion.
Attendees are encouraged to offer nutrition tips and suggestions.

The class usually occurs at the Ironwood Library but for this special occasion it will be hosted at Lilo’s Coffee Haus located at 4747 E. Elliot Road, Ste. 34, Phoenix, Arizona 85044 in the Safeway Plaza.

There is no cost. Drinks will be provided plus prizes and demonstrations. RSVP is appreciated due to limited seating.
