Stop now! (Part 2)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ou.org\/life\/health\/are-you-still-dieting-stop-now-part-1\/\">In part one of this article<\/a> we examined why, in spite of their overwhelming popularity, diets are failures. We established that adherence is the most important component of a food program for success along with avoidance of all or nothing thinking.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The article also stated that small, gradual changes are best for changing poor habits and creating new and healthy behaviors. The bottom line in weight loss is still creating a calorie deficit, but in a way we can stick to. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In part 2, we will now examine many ways to create a situation where more calories are being used as energy than are being consumed. In addition, a few tips for better adherence to your program will be suggested.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dr. Kravitz has come up with 50 different concrete suggestions for cutting calories without dieting.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Look over this list carefully and as we are emphasizing small changes, pick 2 or 3 things that you think you can accomplish and start with those.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As you feel more and more comfortable with each change, you can pick a couple more to work on.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Remember, in the end of the day, this will translate into lower weight and better health.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Right now, work on your habits It might take a few weeks until you see the desired result, but you will!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Control Over Tempting Sensation Habits<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1. Control triggers. For some people, certain foods trigger overeating. Be aware of these foods and find ways to avoid them by substituting satisfying, non-triggering foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">2. Plan for simchas. Before attending social events, dinner parties or catered occasions where there will be rich, high-calorie foods, eat a light protein-based snack (i.e., bean salad or yogurt).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Find a balance with favorite foods. It\u2019s common to overindulge on favorite foods. Identify yours and commit to enjoying them occasionally, but don\u2019t overindulge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">4. Be aware of breakfast starch overload. Many people treat themselves to a special bagel for breakfast, along with cream cheese, coffee and juice. Since a bagel today is equivalent to about five slices of bread, try a breakfast of egg whites, fruit and a quarter bagel instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">5. Combat protein overload at dinner. Restaurants regularly entice customers with irresistible steak, fish and chicken specials. Split a meal with a friend to cut the colossal protein calorie overload. Perhaps start the meal with a low-fat salad, and eat plenty of vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Simple Substitutions<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">6. Switch from a 3-ounce serving of meat to the equivalent of a meat alternative, such as lentils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">7. Switch from a serving of bread to a serving of rice cakes (about five rice cakes).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">8. Switch from a 6-ounce glass of orange juice to a cup of cantaloupe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">9. Switch from a 1.5-ounce serving of cheese to an 8-ounce yogurt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">10. Switch from a half-cup of dried fruit to a cup of berries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Wise Choices<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">11. Choose olive oil\u2013based dressings instead of the creamy types.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">12. Choose the grilled fish or chicken over fried options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">13. Choose whole grains instead of white bread.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">14. Order mixed berries for dessert rather than a slice of cheesecake, or ask for just a small serving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">15. Choose mustard over mayonnaise on sandwiches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Surviving the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet or cocktail hour at a Simcha<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">16. Choose only the foods you really enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">17. Fill up on veggies, fruits and salads, and put the dressing on the side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">18. Skip foods with a lot of sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">19. Commit in advance to eating just one decent-sized plate, and avoid wearing loose-fitting clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">20. Eat slowly, savoring each bite as you (hopefully) engage in conversation with a friend or companion. Enjoy your meal with water or seltzer rather than soft drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Clever Calorie-Cutting Ideas for Home Dining<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">21. When preparing and cooking multiple meals, freeze what you\u2019re not immediately eating in single-serving containers. Bake casseroles in individual-size dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">22. To minimize overeating, serve the main dish on a salad or bread plate. Don\u2019t leave food sitting on the counter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">23. Do not eat anything out of a bag or container. Place the food on a plate or in a bowl so you see precisely how much you\u2019re eating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">24. Follow the \u201crule of one\u201d: Have only one helping of each food group. The exception to this is vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">25. Look out for added sugars (and their extra calories) in many packaged foods, including prepared meals (take out), salad dressings, breads and pasta sauce. Buy unsweetened oatmeal, cereal and yogurt, and sweeten them yourself with a tad of sugar or honey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Smart Swaps<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">26. Make special requests when you go out to eat. For instance, swap out fries for vegetables or, ask for less cheese on pizza, pasta, or anything<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">parmesan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">27. Break the mayonnaise habit. Just one tablespoon of mayonnaise can have over 50 calories (depending on the brand).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">28. Spice your tea or coffee with cinnamon, which helps stabilize blood sugar and is a good source of vitamin K and iron.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">29. Choose the miniature versions of desserts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">30. Order appetizers as your meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">31. Avoid the oversized food and drink portions that most restaurants serve; stick to regular-sized portions or try the kiddie size if there is one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">32. Smart-swap tomato-based sauces for creamy ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">33. Choose thin pizza crust instead of deep-dish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">34. Avoid large alcoholic drinks, which add as much as 400 calories to a meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">35. De-fat your caf\u00e9 latte. A medium 18-ounce latte made with whole milk has 265 calories. A small 12-ounce latte made with fat-free milk has 125 calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Guiltless Fast Food<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">36. Pay attention to your personal hunger meter. <b>Stop eating when you feel comfortable, not full.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">37. Order small sizes of all food options and enjoy the meal with a seltzer, sparkling water, iced green tea, or water with lemon. Sweet drinks\u2014a go-to with fast-food meals\u2014are a major source of added sugars. There is emerging evidence that some sugar substitutes may upset metabolic processes, possibly leading to weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">38. Stay away from anything that says \u201cdouble\u201d or \u201ctriple.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">39. Steer clear of any meals that say \u201csupersize,\u201d \u201cmega,\u201d \u201cbiggie\u201d or \u201cjumbo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">40. Be aware that some no-fat and low-fat meals have a lot of calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Winning Ways to Live<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">41. Do not keep sugary drinks in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">42. Choose a low-calorie meal starter, such as salad or soup, to help prevent overeating later in the meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">43. Order salad dressings on the side. Often even healthy, \u201clow-calorie\u201d salad dressings can be deceptively high in calories owing to the amount used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">44. Beware of the breadbasket. The bread-and-butter habit can add hundreds of calories to your meal. In fact, one slice of white bread with butter is 116 calories\u2014and the bread may make you hungrier. The refined carbohydrate in it may trigger insulin production, which increases hunger. Send the breadbasket back, or ask your server not to bring bread to the table in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">45. Be judicious with the chips and dips (Challah and dips on Shabbos). Practice moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">46. Prune your meal. Literally trim the meal you have chosen to eat. For example, if you\u2019re eating a burger, take off the bun to save around 160 calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">47. Be mindful of your alcohol consumption. There\u2019s nothing wrong with appreciating an occasional L\u2019chaim drink, but be aware of the calories you\u2019re consuming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">48. Eat more whole fruits, which contain lots of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Juicing depletes the fruit of many of this essential nutrition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">49. Eat a little lean protein at most meals. This goes a long way toward making you feel satisfied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">50. Final reminder: If you truly want to lose weight and prevent weight regain, find sustainable ways to cut back on calories. In addition, keep progressing your cardiovascular and resistance training workouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Adherence<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">The best tried and tested method to adhere to any new habit or behavior is tracking your action through writing it down.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Anyone who records their actions for any area of behavioral change, not only eating and exercise, is creating accountability and mindfulness.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Gaining awareness is really the name of the game when it comes to behavioral change.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Many of our habits are so automatic that we aren\u2019t even cognizant of the fact we are doing them.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In our office, we offer two different types of charting for both food and drink, and exercise record keeping.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It is estimated that logging your food will bring you twice as much weight loss as not charting!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>It can be the paper and the pen, or an application or online tool, but it is a must!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">The other great tool for keeping you on track is weighing yourself.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>And the research is indicating more and more that a daily weigh-in is best.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, our weight fluctuated and the scale will bounce up and down but you would be looking for an overall downward trend.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>So, track this as well and write it down.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>When you notice a change that is unfavorable, it will grab your attention and you will act on it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Maybe last Shabbos was just a little too much food, or the fact that you didn\u2019t do exercise for three days in a row does matter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">We know for sure that diets really don\u2019t work.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Dieting is even a risk factor for becoming eating disordered.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>But getting a reasonable and balance food program, working on mindfulness and awareness to bring adherence and always looking to improve our habits will bring weight loss and good health.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>By implementing the above mentioned changes, a few at a time, instead of dieting, you <\/span><span class=\"s3\">will <b>\u201c<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>add hours to your days, days to your years, and years to your life.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In part one of this article we examined why, in spite of their overwhelming popularity, diets are failures.
