Asparagus: This green veggie is high in folic acid, which can help stabilize your mood. When you’re stressed, your body releases hormones that affect your mood. Eating certain vitamins and minerals like folic acid and B vitamins can help keep your mood steady because they’re needed to make serotonin, which is a chemical that directly affects mood in a positive way.
Cottage cheese and fruit: Cottage cheese is high in protein and calcium. Foods with high protein content that aren’t loaded with sugar won’t cause a spike in blood sugar and will keep you satiated for a longer time. Try mixing the cottage cheese with a fruit that is high in vitamin C like oranges. Vitamin C plays a role in fighting stress because it’s an antioxidant that fights the free radicals that get released when you’re stressed. These free radicals have been shown to cause cancer.

Blueberries: Very rich in antioxidants, blueberries offer a high- fiber, low-calorie fruit option that is also rich in stress-fighting vitamin C. Try them with cottage cheese or as a snack on their own.

Tuna: A great lunch option, tuna is high in stress-fighting vitamins B6 and B12. Tuna is also a good low-fat protein source. Don’t load tuna down with fat by using a lot of mayonnaise; choose a fat-free mayo or add the tuna to a salad without adding the mayo.

Eating the right foods and the right time can improve your mood as well as keeping you healthy and happy!

Have you ever found yourself not just hungry but tired, irritable and headachy? One cause could be your blood sugar dipping and spiking. If you start your day out with refined carbohydrates (soda, juice, bagels, crackers, a sugary cereal, etc) your body quickly metabolizes those calories causing blood sugar to sharply rise and eventually plummet which can leave you with a growling belly and an irritable mood.

So what should you do?

* Eat every three to four hours. Noshing throughout the day provides your body and brain with constant fuel.

* Limit refined carbs. Refined carbohydrates (candy, soda, juice, pretzels, chips, crackers, white bread, almost anything out of a vending machine…) will put you on that roller coaster of blood sugar highs and lows.

* Try to add protein to your meals and snacks-it keeps carbs from being digested too quickly.

* Fill up on soluble fiber like oats, brown rice and vegetables which will help slow down the body’s absorption of sugar so you feel steadily energized and upbeat for hours.

Eating in the car can become a bad habit very quickly. Your waist will count it as a meal but your brain won’t and you’ll actually be training yourself to eat whenever you are behind the wheel! It’s kind of like people who smoke want a cigarette every time they have a drink…it’s easy to get used to food every time you are on the road.

Thin and Healthy Utah is giving FREE nutrition programs to LA Weight Loss members

December 17, 2008. Sandy Utah. Thin and Healthy Utah is giving FREE nutrition programs to LA Weight Loss members. Because of closure at LA Weight Loss centers around Utah, Thin and Healthy Utah in Sandy is offering a hand.

Qualifying LA Weight Loss members must provide proof to verify their current membership with La Weight Loss to receive the free service. They may apply online at info@thinandhealthyutah.com or in person or at the office of Thin and Healthy’s Total Solution located in the Union Square Shopping Center at 9480 S 700 E in Sandy, UT.

It’s no secret that 3 out of 4 men and 2 out of 4 women in Utah have weight to lose. And what’s more alarming than that is that 1 out of every 3 children are overweight or obese. With these local LA Weight Loss Centers closing their doors, it won’t help Utah’s staggering statistic.

Thin and Healthy Utah is on a mission. Owner Jed Judd says: “We are on a mission to make a difference in our community. According to statistics 3 out of 4 Men and 2 out of 4 Women in Utah are at an unhealthy weight! Think about that 3 out of 4 Men! That’s a staggering amount of us – so Thin and Healthy wants to make a difference by the year 2010. Our goal is to give away 2010 free metabolism evaluations and 210 free programs by the year 2010!”

“Dieting doesn’t work.” says Judd. The increase in obesity over the last ten years is still accelerating despite new diets being introduced. Diets, old and new, have now had time to prove themselves but show little permanance as most Americans put the weight back on–and a little more—within a year or two.

As the American obesity epidemic gains pace and spreads through all age groups, the number of children under 6 who are obese is growing at an alarming rate.

Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a survey of seventh- to twelfth-graders launched in 1994 that included 2 years of follow-up. In 1996, 12 percent of the adolescents were overweight, while 6 percent had two obese parents, 14 percent had obese mothers only, and 5 percent had obese fathers.
“What we do as a family — our family lifestyles — matters for weight. Lifestyles aren’t just about individual behaviors,” study author Dr. Molly A. Martin, Pennsylvania State University in University Park said. The study is the first to demonstrate that the connection between parents and children’s weight is social as well as genetic. SOURCE: American Journal of Sociology, December 10, 2008. Thin and Healthy’s Total Solution has a kids plan to affect this trend.

“Childhood obesity in the U.S. has reached pandemic proportions, and teaching young people healthy habits at a young age will last into adulthood. Our Thin&Healthy Kids program is a fun and effective way to teach children and their parents the life lessons for creating healthy, happy lifestyles….Many parents are setting their children up for a life of being overweight – and all the physical, social, and emotional problems that go along with that - without even realizing it.  Something has to be done.

Our experience working with children and families has made it clear that the desire to do the right thing is there; sometimes parents just need a little guidance and moral support!” SOURCE: Thin&HealthyKids website

ABOUT THIN AND HEALTHY’S TOTAL SOLUTION:

Headquartered in Ohio,Thin & Healthy’s Total Solutions was started by author, speaker, and weight loss speicalist, Donna Krech and husband. It now has locations in most states all across the US. “My husband and I founded this company on a single principle. There exists a need that most ‘weight loss’ facilities do not meet. The need is for people to learn how to keep weight off. Therefore, Thin and Healthy exists for one reason. It is not simply to teach a person how to lose weight, but to teach our members how to never need to lose weight again.”
Thin and Healthy teaches a healthy lifestyle to help people lose their weight and keep it off. “We take a 3 fold approach to weight loss: Healthy Foods Education, Metabolism Retraining, and Motivation. We do not participate in the weight-loss-weight-gain industry – we are the solution for permanent weight loss.”

Thin and Healthy has as weight management program for kids, Thin&HealthyKids, which gives kids, parents, and families a helpful source of information about healthy eating, fun ideas to promote physical activity, and practical tips for smooth family functioning. It provides alternatives for the risky behaviors associated with Childhood Obesity, so that every child has a chance at a long and happy life.

Thin and Healthy’s Total Solution reports it’s plan is NOT a “Diet”. Thin and Healthy contends, “Diets don’t work for permanent weight control. By learning to eat your 20 favorite foods responsibly, use real grocery store items, include simple, easy and fun ways to move, and keying into your motivation triggers long term success can be achieved.”
