Glenmore Healthcare Offers 10 Healthy Eating Tips for 2011

One of the perennially popular New Year’s Resolutions is to lose weight, and the experts at Glenmore Healthcare, Calgary's premiere provider of hCG medically supervised weight loss programs, offers dieters 10 tips for healthy eating in the New Year.

Calgary, Alberta, January 20, 2010 -- To help patients maintain their weight loss, the physicians at Glenmore Healthcare, offering Calgary's most successful hCG for Weight Loss program (http://www.glenmorehealthcare.com/our-program), want to ensure their patients do not re-gain the weight they just lost. Many patients lose anywhere between 20-30lbs in just a month, so it is important that once they complete the program they maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Below are some tips which Glenmore Healthcare offers their patients entering the maintenance and beyond phases of their weight loss journey, so they can lock-in their substantial weight loss:

- Don't eat family style, you're much more likely to eat more than you would if you placed the correct portion size on a plate.
- Healthy restaurant menus may not be so healthy. You're likely to underestimate a meal’s calorie total by more than a third, according to a study in the Journal of Consumer Research.
- Alcohol makes you hungry (limit it to one or two glasses per meal)
- Restaurant portions are way too big, your choices are: (1) eat an appetizer, or (2) split an entre (either with another diner, or bring the other half home for another meal).
- Beware of office goodies. The office can be a source of 10-20lbs of fat per year. Skip the cakes, donuts, candies, and chocolates.
- Portion out your snacks. If you are going to have chips, read the bag and fill a bowl with a serving, then put the big bag away so you can't see it.
- Hungry an hour after a meal? Have a glass of water, or go for a brisk walk.
- Display fruits, not sweets. Get rid of the glass covered sweets display, and replace it with a fruit bowl.
- Researchers discovered that people who watched TV while they ate consumed nearly 300 more calories than those who dined without an eye on the tube.
- Slow down while you eat. If you consciously stop to take a breath between bites, you can cut your food (and calorie) intake by 10 percent, according to researchers at the University of Rhode Island. It takes 20 minutes for the news that you have had enough to eat to travel from your gut to your brain. Another tip, try talking more between bites.
