How do you know what you read or hear about nutrition is true? Some much of the information we receive about nutrition comes to us – in bits and pieces. The nutrition information that we read or hear is a mix of truths, half truths, and gossip. There can be misinformation in books, magazines, newspapers, TV, the internet and speeches. Yet all of us want to believe all the nutrition gimmicks, supplements and “quick weight loss plans” that are out there. Here at TracySatov.com we only tell the truth.

Nutrition Q & A

Question:

Rosanna from Boston Ma, writes “With each of my two pregnancies I've gained 50 pounds. I've been able to lose 20 pounds of it, but I still have another 30 pounds to go. I've tried eating healthy. I don't have any time for breakfast but I do eat a healthy lunch and dinner. Do you have any suggestions?”

Answer:

Rosanna- In my experience (and in all the latest research) the best way to lose weight is to start your day with a proper breakfast. Here are a few suggestions, I hope they help

Start your day with breakfast

  • Cereal: Have about ½ cup to 1 cup of whole-grain cereal, such as Kashi Good Friends or Heart to Heart cereals. Choose one with at least 5 grams of fiber. Add low-fat yogurt or 1 cup of non-fat milk
  • Hard boiled egg: Grab one and go! Peel before you go on road and combine with piece of fruit such as a banana or apple.
  • Oatmeal packet, such as Quaker Instant Oatmeal: Add hot water at rest stop. Top with small pre-portioned bag of nuts.
  • Coffee: stay away from whole milk. When ordering coffee at a coffee shop, have a skim-milk latte instead of a Frappucino and save 400 calories or more!
  • 3/4cup of low-fat cottage cheese and 1 piece of fruit
  • 1 slice of whole- wheat bread with 1 slice of low-fat cheese
