WHAT THE SCALE IS NOT TELLING YOU! Special points of interest: Editor’s Letter Clinic News New Products Specials Recipes Tips & Suggestions
It happens all the time. You've stayed on top of your diet every day and have exercised, but then — Bam! — you hit that dreaded weightloss plateau and can't get the scale to budge. Instead of getting angry at what the scale is saying, take a minute to think about what the scale is NOT telling you — like what a strong and healthy individual you're becoming. Do you have more endurance? Have you lost inches from your waist? Do you look better in your clothes? Don't be a slave to the scale. Weigh in only once a week, and the rest of the time just take note of the difference in how you're feeling.
The number on the scale can ruin your whole day. It can leave you feeling like there is something wrong.
weigh-ins if you're prone to obsessing over the number on the scale.
Here's the thing: the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. You have to take baby steps and start off slow that way you can stick with it and not get discouraged. The weight didn't come on overnight and it's not coming off overnight. Your habits and lifestyle didn't get this way overnight, and they're not going to change overnight. It's a struggle, but that's what I am here for, to help and encourage you along the way. You are here on the your calorie intake or activity message boards asking for level. These fluctuations have help, and that is a BIG first step. You can do it — I nothing to do with fat loss, KNOW you can!!! although they can make for some unnecessarily dramatic It's normal to experience glycogen and water weight shifts of up to 2 pounds per day even with no changes in
GET MOVING: OCTOBER IS NATIONAL WALKING MONTH October is here and it’s National Walking Month, which means you are encouraged to give your vehicle a rest as much as you can bear. On average, experts say, we take a fraction of the recommended 10,000 steps per day. So as a nudge, here is a reminder of what walking provides: Health: If you want a challenge, take on hills or pick up the pace, but do not discount the stress-releasing power of a stroll. Walk with a friend when you can, as socializing nurtures mental health. Fresh Air: Winter will soon spread its cloak, so enjoy the fall palette while you can and don’t use the rain or the chilly temperatures as an excuse — you live in the Northeast. Savings: Walking is as free as it gets. Ambience: There are too many cars on the road. Why be part of the choking herd? Happiness: Ever see pedestrians flipping off one another?

It’s easy to forget how much we really do matter in this world. In fact, it’s almost painful to type it out, as decades of social conditioning have taught me that I should disregard those feelings and instead focus on my shortcomings. The thing is, paying attention to the good things we have done and how much people like us for our unique personalities empowers us to continue to make good choices. While you can’t force anyone to say nice things about you and acknowledge how awesome you are, the truth is we get back from the universe what we put into it. Make it a point to let friends, family, colleagues and others know: ways they have inspired you; that you are proud of their achievements; and when you notice something special about them. By being the catalyst for bringing kind words to others, you’ll find that the kindness is returned to you and that everyone in your circle will feel a boost to their confidence, feel more positive and more inclined to look for the good instead of the bad. A kind words file is not about massaging the ego, rather it’s a way to remind ourselves that while we’re not perfect, we have done and will continue to do a lot of good in this world. It’s that kind of reminder that helps you build yourself up so that you can take the steps you need to improve, instead of wallowing in the negative, which helps no one.

THE ONE WORD THAT LEADS TO WEIGHT LOSS IT’S NOT no. It’s want, as in “I really don’t want that order of fettuccine Alfredo.” How does this approach work? Dieters typically think. I can’t have that. This makes them feel deprived. If you think instead, I don’t want it, you’ll cultivate a sense of increased self-control that will give you the psychological edge to resist when temptation strikes.
Q
Does a diagnosis of pre-diabetes indicate that you need to make some lifestyle changes?
FACT: YES! Pre-diabetes, sometimes called impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance, occurs when blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not yet in the diabetic range. It usually has no symptoms and you may have one or both conditions for several years without noticing anything. If

you have pre-diabetes, you have a higher risk of developing Type II diabetes, as well as a higher risk of heart disease. Progression to diabetes is not inevitable. Weight loss and increased physical activity can prevent or delay diabetes and may return blood glucose levels to normal.

Ideal News Eat protein. Everyone should be eating half their lean body mass in grams of protein. (ex: 130 lb. individual - 130/2 = 65 grams) No more letting our bodies live “protein deprived”! Eat good quality protein throughout the day. Our heart, muscles, skin, nails and even hair are made of protein; let’s keep our bodies healthy!
Food combinations. Fats & carbohydrates should be treated like two children that disrupt the class. You cannot remove them completely, and both can be very good but just not together. Separate them and there is harmony. You can eat carbohydrates twice a day just not with your fats.
