Nutrition and weight loss talk
- 1. Jenny Dean MS, RDCandidate March 2004
- 2. Why Weight isImportant to Us • Health and overall well-being • Disease prevention • Competitive sports/ training • Looks • Self-esteem
- 3. It is aconstant tug-of-war between foods we love to eat and the tight jeans we love to wear.
- 4. Everyone is lookingfor the answer… If only it were this easy
- 5. Myth vs. Fact Myth? Fact?
- 6. Let’s start withthe basics… • Macronutrients • Micronutrients – Carbohydrates – Vitamins – Protein – Minerals – Fat – Water All are part of a healthy diet!
- 7. Calorie Breakdown Carbohydrates: 4 calories/gram Protein: 4 calories/gram Fat: 9 calories/gram Alcohol: 7 calories/gram Gram for gram, carbohydrates and protein have the same amount of calories
- 8. Carbs Can BeYour Friend • Whole grain breads, crackers, tortillas, English muffins and bagels • Pastas, brown rice • Bran or whole grain cereals • Whole wheat flour
- 9. Protein Picks • Lean meats, chicken and fish • Egg whites • Low-fat dairy products • Tofu • Nuts • Beans • Hummus
- 10. How much doI need? • 15-20% of total calories Grams protein/ kg body weight Current RDA for sedentary adult 0.8 Recreational exerciser, adult 1.0-1.5 Competitive athlete, adult 1.2-1.8 Adult building muscle mass 1.4-1.8 Athlete restricting calories 1.4-2.0 Maximum usable amount for adults 2.0 Growing teenage athlete 1.8-2.0 Adapted from the American Dietetic Association’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook, 3rd ed., 2000
- 11. Healthy Fats Monounsaturated andPolyunsaturated – Olive oil – Avocadoes – Canola oil – Fish – Nuts – Soybeans – Flax Avoid foods high in saturated fats!
- 12. How much? • 20-30%of total calories • Very low fat diets often lack energy & nutrients • High fat diets tend to cause sluggishness and weight gain
- 13. Weight Loss… The proven way • Energy In < Energy Out • Safe weight loss = 1-2 pounds per week • The faster it is lost, the more likely it is to come back!
- 14. Why We GainWeight • Real WEIGHT GAIN occurs when and only when your CALORIES IN exceed your CALORIES OUT for an extended period of time • 500 calories/day x 7 = 3500 calories = 1 lb – Burn an additional 500 calories/day = lose 1 pound/week – Consume an additional 500 calories/day = gain 1 pound/week
- 15. The Bottom Line Forweight loss to occur, there must be a calorie deficit!
- 16. HOW??? • Balance, variety, moderation • Healthy food choices • Watch portion sizes • Exercise • Sleep • Stress management
- 17. It’s All AboutChoices It is important to eat foods from EACH FOOD GROUP every day! • Whole grains • Fruits • Veggies • Low-fat dairy products • Lean meats, chicken and fish • Beans and legumes • Heart healthy fats
- 18. Problems With Portions To lose weight, it is necessary to watch portion sizes! • Pasta = ½ cup • Raw, leafy veggies = 1 • Rice = ½ cup cup • Cereal = ¾ cup • Milk = 1 cup • Bread = 1 slice • Yogurt = ½ cup • Fruit = 1 medium piece • Ice cream = ½ cup • 1 small banana • Meat = 2-3 ounces • Cooked veggies = ½ cup • Peanut butter = 2 Tbsp. • Oil = 1 Tbsp.

- 20. Healthy or Hefty? • Store-bought smoothies • Milkshakes • Lattes and coffee drinks • Granola • Energy bars • Muffins • Popcorn • Crackers
- 21. Breakfast • Believe itor not, breakfast can help you lose weight! • Eat a hearty breakfast to kick start your day • Consume calories throughout the day vs. at night • Include carbohydrates and protein to keep you fueled
- 22. Dining Out CanBe Healthy • Choose lean chicken and fish • Choose foods that are steamed, broiled, roasted, poached, stir-fried or baked instead of fried or sautéed • Choose marinara pasta sauces instead of creamy sauces • Beware of high-fat salad dressings- order dressing on the side • Unlimited chips or bread… a quick way to boost calorie intake
- 23. Dining Out Do’sand Don’ts • Split the meal with a friend • Order a take-out bag immediately and put half away • Ask your server how food is prepared and modify if necessary • Alcohol before dinner can increase appetite • Limit “add-ons” like chips and bread
- 24. Super Salad Let’s builda healthy salad… Includes vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, protein and healthy fat
- 25. Fiber Can BeYour Friend What’s so great about fiber? • “Speeds things up” • Binds cholesterol • Helps you feel full • Takes longer to digest • Resists the “insulin surge”
- 26. Food and Mood •Eating for reasons other than hunger can sabotage your weight loss efforts • Identify patterns by writing down when and why you eat for reasons other than hunger • A good rule of thumb = Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. Simple, right?

- 28. Fad Diets • “FAD”,defined by Webster’s 2nd college edition: “A custom, style, etc. that many people are interested in for a short time; passing fashion; craze” • Fad diets are not new- remember the no-fat craze, the combination diets, the grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet? • Fad diets are not geared towards long-term lifestyle changes that most people are willing to stick with
- 29.
- 30. The Atkins Plan Sources: http://atkins.com; New York Times, January 18, 2004 • 20-60 grams carb/day, depending on your personal “Critical Carbohydrate Level for Losing” • Emphasizes red meat, cheese and butter as “foods you may eat liberally” • Low/ no milk and grains • Few fruits • Missing key vegetables • Low calorie
- 31. The Atkin’s Plan Whyit works • Foods high in fat and protein promote satiety • Eat fewer calories What is right • Reduce/ cut out refined sugars and empty calories What is wrong • Miss out on key nutrients • Boring! • Heart and kidney health • Once eating returns to normal, so will weight
- 32. Low-carb Marketing • Over600 new low-carb products introduced this year • Sales may exceed $15 billion this year • Low-carb products appeal to convenience eaters • Problem: A calorie is still a calorie. Many dieters consuming these products are claiming to have stopped losing weight. • Fact: Low-carb foods are not necessarily low calorie foods. It is overeating calories that makes us gain weight, not overeating carbohydrates.
- 33. Don’t be Fooled:Fad diets still up to their old tricks • “Carb-controlled” treats including breads, sweets and bars • Sound familiar? The early 90s were filled with low/no-fat products including crackers, cookies and diet bars- yet we overate these products and wondered why we didn’t lose weight • FACT: History repeats itself. Low-carb snacks, wraps, cookies and bars are still packed with calories despite their low “net carbs” – and we’re overeating again

- 35. South Beach Diet Whatis says • Relies on the Glycemic Index What is right • Encourages whole foods instead of refined foods and foods high in sugar What is wrong • GI does not accurately assess the way your body deals with meals
- 36. Trend or Fad? •Fad Diets are successful because in the end, you are eating fewer calories • Does the eating plan make you happy or are you constantly obsessed with food? • The question is…Can you maintain this diet for the rest of your life?
- 37.
- 38. Weight Loss Supplements Not a safe alternative • Not regulated by FDA! • Affects each person differently • Expensive • Non-ephedra products can be just as dangerous Do you want to buy these for the rest of your life?
- 39. A Weight LossPlan • Think in terms of a lifestyle change, not short-term “diet” • Set realistic goals • Make gradual changes • Each person is different • Experiment to find what works for you • Expect to be successful!
- 40. What Works ForYou • Calorie needs (Harris Benedict Equation) 1 kg = 2.2 lbs 2.54 cm = 1 in BMR x activity factor • Protein needs 0.8 – 1.0 grams/ kg body weight • Exercise needs Cardio + strength training
- 41. Meals vs. Grazing ShouldI eat: • 3 regular meals C:Documents and SettingspelissierlLocal • 3 small meals with snacks SettingsTemporary Internet • 6 small meals/ snacks FilesContent.IE585QF S5Y7j0074720[1].wav • This is a personal preference and depends on your schedule and what you consider a “meal” and a “snack” • Keep calorie needs in mind
- 42. Next… • Get ajournal- record progress, set-backs, thoughts and feelings • Try new recipes • Take healthy snacks with you • Try to eat at home more and eat out less • If you do eat away from home, make healthy choices- Don’t be afraid to ask for modifications • Eat slowly and savor mealtime • Not sure if you are hungry? Take a walk first
- 43. • Drink plenty of water • If you like soda- drink diet • You’re never to old to pack your lunch • Don’t starve yourself…you’ll end up overeating later • Let yourself indulge in your favorite foods…just watch portion sizes • Get an exercise buddy • Do active things that you actually like! • Curb late night eating • Watch out for the Saturday night 6 pack • Don’t be too hard on yourself Indulge…but in moderation!
- 44. • Do itfor you, not anyone else • Focus on health benefits and the way you feel and you won’t be disappointed • Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results immediately- healthy weight loss takes time • You may hit a plateau in your weight loss…this is natural and you may have to reevaluate your plan • Reward yourself with things other than food Remember, eating is supposed to be FUN and there is more to life than obsessing over food!
