Weight Control Using “Stop, Rest, ...
You know, there are all kinds of weird and wonderful diets, meal plans and fads “out there”. I certainly agree with modifying eating habits that have not been well self regulated in the past. But sometimes, sticking to the basics is all that is required. And if you managed to shift a few kilos and are now trying to consolidate your good work, here’s some further simple nutrition advice to chew on… Very few of us understand what real hunger is however, most of us know what overeating is. As we swallow our food in record time every night, we...

How to control your weight in 20 minutes...
Yep, 20 minutes. How you ask? Ok, so it’s 20 minutes PER MEAL, but hopefully now that we’ve got you reading this you’re going to get some value out of it! Have you ever done the 20 minute eating test where you must eat your dinner in a minimum of 20 minutes? Or how about the 10 sultanas in 10 min – 1 every minute? They are challenges for all of us because eating has become either a time wasting hassle for some where for others it is their life. Science has shown that it takes up to 20 minutes before the brain receives the appropriate feedback...

7 Hot Tips to Achieving New Years Resolu...
Do you have a new years resolution? In previous years I’ve poo-pooed them a bit (the other 364 days of the year are all perfectly good days to start positive change too!) I have had a small change of heart for 2012, and while resolutions of any sort are usually an uphill climb, you can always get to the top with slow and steady progress. Given the fear – and past experience – that our best-laid resolutions will fade away before they get too far off the ground, we often dismiss new year’s goal making as irrelevant and useless. Still, people...

Christmas Day Calories, how it can all g...
‘We arrived at our family’s Christmas Dinner on a hot and sunny day so I opened the first beer (105cal) less than 1 minute after arriving. In front of our table, perfectly within reach from the seated position were the nibbles, which was lucky as I was starving. I chose a handful of honey roasted almonds (165cal), a handful of salt and vinegar potato crisps (110cal) before Wendy came around with a glass of Sparkling Red (97cal). I moved to the other table and found the platters and chewed on 7 rice crackers (52cal) with the wonderful avocado dip. Since I have been...

The Festive Season is certainly a great time to mix socially with family and friends and to enjoy all that the period brings. The end of year function circuit certainly tests our commitment to healthy eating and regular exercise.

Here’s 5 Do’s and Don’ts of the...
