Tips for Maintaining A Healthy Weight

Maintaining a healthy weight and controlling emotional eating tips by Senior Dietitian, Amanda Foti, from Selvera Wellness

  1. Define yourself as a healthy and fit individual. Finding value in making healthy choices will help you stick with them long term.
  2. Make healthy eating and exercising a lifestyle you live, not a temporary plan you are follow to meet a goal. A healthy lifestyle shouldn’t have an end point, it should just be the way you live.
  3. Understand what emotions are triggers. Before starting to change anything, be mindful of how you’re feeling when you have a desire to eat and identify the emotion behind it.
  4. Focus on relieving the emotional triggers. Whether its stress, boredom, sadness, there are alternative actions not involving food that can work to relieve the emotion. Brainstorm a few alternative actions you can rely on in the moment.
  5. Keep a food journal. This allows you to reflect on what your food choices are and identify where the trouble areas are. Being accountable for your food choices will make you more mindful in the moment.
  6. Don’t deprive yourself. Taking away foods you love will only make the desire to have them stronger. Find a healthy balance of enjoying foods you love with nutritious choices and exercise.
  7. Have patience. Changing habits as complex as emotional eating takes time and many attempts of practice. Expect to not be perfect and be okay with it. Rather than setting a goal to go ‘cold turkey’ focus on decreasing the incidents of emotional eating over time.

A Healthy Alliance!

DietarySupplementNews.com has the honor of sharing, Suzanne Steinbaum, DO, Director of Women’s Heart Health at the Heart and Vascular Institute at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York and a cofounder of the Global Nutrition and Health Alliance (GNHA) mission statements.

As a co-founder of the Global Nutrition and Health Alliance (GNHA), Suzanne Steinbaum,  educates people around the world about optimal nutrition being incredibly important. Steinbaum encourages people to get as much of their nutrients as possible from foods. But the reality is, it is more difficult than you think to consume enough through diet alone.

According to a study conducted by the GNHA, many adults may be overestimating how healthy their diets are and should consider supplementation. The survey of 3,000 American, British and German adults found that 72 percent reported having a “healthy” diet and more than half believed they consume all the key nutrients needed through food sources alone. However, the prevalence of chronic diseases in these countries suggests respondents may be overestimating how healthy their diets are. In terms of Omega-3 and Vitamin D, the survey also found that less than a third of those polled were actively taking a supplement.

A diet rich in important nutrients, like Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D, is key to having a healthy heart and well-functioning cells throughout your body. Supplements aren’t a replacement for a healthy diet, but they can be important to bridge the gaps in your diet.
