BEING SOCIAL WITHOUT BLOWING YOUR DIET

>> Tuesday, August 2, 2011

Society and diet both can be taken together. People often think that when they are among their friends at a party, they cannot carry on with their diet. ‘What if my friends will call me too diet-conscious?’, ‘What if they will make fun of me?’, ‘What if they will attract me towards those meals which will spoil my diet?’. These are the questions that often come in one’s mind when going at a party, especially in the minds of those people who follow a healthy diet plan.

BEING SOCIAL BECOMES A BURDEN RATHER THAN AN ACTIVITY OF

FUN FOR THEM!

HOW ABOUT HEALTHY AVOCADOS BEFORE THE PARTY,

ARRIVE HEALTHY RATHER THAN BEING HUNGRY!

Avocados are rich in flavor and texture and are perfect for use in variety of salad recipes. They are loaded with nutrients such as dietary fiber, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, potassium, and magnesium. It’s better to have a salad of Avocados before going to a party. This is because research has found that certain nutrients are absorbed better when eaten with avocado.

Avocados give you a feeling of fullness and are best for those who are on a low-fat diet. It taken before going to a party, it will surely subside your hunger and will reduce your craving for other unhealthy food. Eat avocados and make others eat too!

A THOUGHT ABOUT SALAD BARS- IS IT HEALTHY OR JUST ANOTHER WAY OF BLOWING YOUR DIET?

Salad bars are a great boon to the health conscious diners if they are used to best advantage. Sometimes, in social gatherings, these salads include such adversity of raw and cooked food that it is actually possible to return to one’s table with a plate full of anything but salad! Many observations show that people return to their seats holding plates with shrimp salad, potato salad, chicken salad, macroni salad, garlic toast and cheese cake. I had to restrain myself from asking, ‘Where is the salad?’ as they joyously dug in, remarking, ‘Wow, these salad bars are amazing!’ But in realty there is nothing in those bars as salad but a meal full of dressings!

SALAD DRESSINGS- HEALTHY OR A SOURCE OF FAT IN THE BODY?

Now the question comes: What should I do about the salad dressings at salad bars? Aren’t they full of sugar, chemicals and vinegar? The answer to these questions is that at many salad bars this is the case. The solution to this problem is to look around for any lemon wedges and oil available so you can have a simple oil-and-lemon dressing.

DON’T HESITATE TO BRING DRESSINGS OF YOUR OWN,

BE HEALTHY AND FIT, MAKING STRONG EACH AND EVERY BONE!

Why not bring dressings of your own? Why hesitate to take care of your own health, thinking that how can I take dressing of my own at a party?

· I personally know many people, who are so dedicated to their lifestyle that when they go to salad bar where they are unsure of the dressings, they simple bring their own.

· Don’t hesitate to bring your own healthy dressings in social gatherings, thinking what others might think of you. Maybe people will follow your diet and be encouraged to bring their own dressings as well.

· It is better to stop at a natural food store on the way to a party, with unfamiliar meal and salad bars, to purchase a bottle of dressing chemical addictives or sugar, simply to have a backup in case there were no dressings at the party, you are interested in using.

CAPSULE OF FLAX OIL- JUST A CAPSULE OR A SOURCE OF MAKING YOU FIT AMONG ALL!

Flax seed oil is a substance rich in omega-3 fatty acids, taken from a plant called flax. There are many flax oil capsules benefits that you can enjoy if you incorporate the oil into your diet. You can also avoid unhealthy dressing by bringing this capsule. They are also a convenient, quick method for lowering blood pressure.

The capsule are easy to swallow and an excellent source of food energy, thus, they will probably decrease appetite and that is why, they are best for social gatherings, where it is difficult for us to control our craving for unhealthy food.

SPARKLING WATER WITH LIME OVE ALCOHOL-WILL MAKE YOU SPARKLE LIKE A SHINING STAR!

PGX-TRULY A SECRET WEAPON AGAINST UNHEALTHY CUISINES AT A PARTY!

· PGX is an abbreviation for PolyGlycoplex. This product is a blend of polysaccharides or plant fibers that are water-soluble. It claims to suppress the appetite and promote the feeling of fullness in an individual.

· PGX fiber also slows the rate of carbohydrate absorption, which prevents the post meal blood sugar spikes that are responsible for hunger pangs between meals and late night snack cravings.

· This will probably make sure you are not too hungry when you arrive at a party as PGX will help you to keep full for hours and hours. Make it your effective tool in a day-to-day life and feel fit and healthy!

BE A SOCIAL ANIMAL-BE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE RATHER THAN WITH FOOD!

Whether it’s a wedding, or a birthday party, or a friends’ get-to-gather, you are bound to have your calendar booked with celebrations. For people working hard to lose weight, it can be stressful and may cause anxiety that may want you to skip the event as it can be a huge intrusion to your diet plan. But why sacrifice the enjoyment with friends just for the sake of your diet? Being in a party doesn’t mean food, food and only food. Party means to spend time with friends, be a source of enjoyment for yourself and for others too!

LOVE YOURSELF-THAT’S WHAT YOUR BODY NEEDS!

Dean Ornish MD, president and director of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, CA, emphasized in his book, ‘Love and Survival: The Scientific Basis for the Healing Power of Intimacy’, that our survival depends on the healing power of love, intimacy and relationships. We are all physically, emotionally and spiritually involved in building relationships. He emphasized on the fact that comprehensive lifestyle changes may lead to severe heart diseases but the main crux of his book was to make us believe that love and intimacy are the most powerful factors in health and illness.

· It’s all about our thoughts that can make us healthy and strong or that can make us weak.

· Every cell in our body is teeming with life and possesses its own intelligence. Each cell is like a soldier in an army awaiting its instructions.

· We are constantly sending ourselves a barrage of suggestions about our weight and our health. These can be either positive or negative suggestions-helpful or harmful.

· So why not be positive, love yourself and change our thinking from TODAY! Just move aside all the negative thoughts, tell these thoughts to go away and make way for you and ENJOY YOUR LIFE!
