The Nutrition Action Health Letter (www.cspinet.org) has helped us again with an
article about 8 mistakes we make when it comes to managing our weight. The article,
which appeared in their April 2015 issue, identified the following mistakes,
are you guilty of any on them? (1)It’s ok to eat now because you think you can
lose it later; (2) once you lose the weight its off forever and you don; have
to keep “trying”; (3) all body fat is the same – it doesn’t matter where you
gain it; (4) a serving is a serving; (5) all calories are created equal ;(6) caffeinated
drinks and supplements will boost your metabolism enough to offset any extra
food you may have eaten ; (7) the perfect diet exists; and (8) you went to the
gym so you can have an extra slice of pizza with dinner. NO! NO! NO! All of
these statements are false. The key to managing your weight is eating a healthy
diet that meets your body’s physical needs and addressing your emotional life
in a way that does not involve food. But you knew that already! J
Until next time,
