Healthy Weight: Overcoming Failure for Success

Monday, January 9th, 2012

The 2012 resolution is lose weight is made. The fridge is stocked with healthy food and the gym membership form is completed. Nothing stands in the way of success now – except the individual. It is a fact that almost anyone who tries to lose weight will cheat at some point – by not going to gym one day or indulging in a meal loaded with fat and calories. Sadly, one or two small incidents derail many people and they will give up on their weight loss goals simply because they had one bad day. Some of the managed weight loss programs like those from Dr. Darm help people get through the highs and lows. There is no reason to let one small stumble undo everything.

People fail – because they are human. What separates people who are successful from the pack though is: who will rise above failure. Eating a horrible lunch does not mean dinner can’t be healthy, and missing the gym for a few days does not mean that the person can never return. Weight-loss is a long journey, and it is almost inevitable that mistakes will made or that people will cheat. But each day is a new chance to start on the journey or to keep going. One bad decision is temporary and should not discourage someone from continuing on towards their goal. If you’re interested you can follow Dr Darm on Twitter and get updates in this type of healthy, sensible weight loss concepts!

Loving the Simple Fruit Salad

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Most people today are aware of the necessity of a healthy, well balanced diet. And where do most of us fall short? Fruits and veggies. Produce is expensive and most of us are put off when told we need 5-9 servings a day in order to be adequately nourished. But a simple fruit salad fits in to any menu, at breakfast, lunch or dinner. A half cup serving of fruit next to a bowl of whole grain cereal and a cup of milk makes a quick and nutritious meal to start the day.

Take a few minutes to learn more about the benefits of a fruit salad and how you can make it a bigger part of your daily healthy diet. A similar article (at the East West Editorial blog, which researches and reports on information for today’s consumer lifestyles) discusses how even the right broccoli recipes can change your mind about meal planning and healthy eating.

Do You Know the 10 Healthiest Foods?

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Recently, someone challenged the researchers at East West Editorial to research and find the 10 healthiest foods. While there are literally thousands of foods from which to choose, the effort ultimately focused on produce – which is ultra-rich in nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants – and perhaps the most neglected item on everyone’s menus.

You can review the 10 healthiest foods list at the East West blog (we’ll give two of them away here: berries and bananas) and see if you don’t agree that larger portions of these fruits and veggies shouldn’t play a starring role at your table. A companion article on how to lower your cholesterol may be helpful as well.

Diets and Losing Weight

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

We all have some unwanted weight we would like to shed. The thought of going on a diet is not very appealing mainly because it’s very structured and you need to be self-disciplined to succeed in the long run. There are so many diet plans out there that it’s hard to decided between them. I’ve heard a lot good things about the Jenny Craig diet is really great for losing the weight but keeping the weight off is another issue. I’ve tried the Atkins Diet and lost the weight but the food without the carbs was hard for me to continue after I lost the pounds and they gradually returned. I’m now considering the Zone diet using the replacement bars.
