Summer is primetime for backyard socializing, complete with plenty to munch on. I have many clients that find these months to be the most challenging time to “go light” and maintain (let alone lose) weight.  However, barbecues don’t have to wreak havoc on your diet.  Follow these tips and tricks to enjoy your summer parties AND fit into your bikini the next day!

If you’re on chef duty at the BBQ this year, here are some recipe ideas to help you fire up the menu without your weight loss goals going up in flames:

Make your own chips. Thinly slice beets, purple potatoes, and parsnips. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees until crispy.Create a dip with a kick. Dip blue corn tortilla chips in plain, non-fat Greek yogurt mixed with ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes.Whip up a festive fruit salad. Combine sliced strawberries, blueberries, sliced apple & fresh mint, or try pomegranates, blueberries & sliced dragon fruit.Slice up some crunchy veggies. Serve sliced peppers, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes and jicama with chunky, homemade salsa.Fire up the grill. Grill a lean beef burger and top with a slice of tomato, white onion, red-leaf lettuce & crumbled bleu cheese. And don’t think the grill is just for meat. Try grilling fresh fruit like melon and pineapple or vegetables like carrots and eggplant.Add color to your salad. Sick of the same old salad? Spice up the salad options by throwing in fun items like avocado, pomegranates or grapefruit slices.  Or whip up a new dressing like a homemade blueberry or cilantro lime vinaigrette.  The more creative the salad, the more you will eat!Mix and match colorful kebabs. Mix and match your favorite lean proteins and veggies like chicken, pork, scallops, red peppers, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and cubed blue potatoes. A kebab is a great way to try a bit of everything in one portion-controlled dish.Make a simple sangria. Combine a bottle of white wine with 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1 cup fresh blackberries, 1 cup sliced white peaches and 2 tablespoons agave.

Abs 101: 3 Steps for Flat Abs

0 comentarios

Are you ready to learn? School is in session and eDiets is going to teach you everything you need to know to safely and effectively lose weight!

By Raphael Calzadilla, BA, CPT, ACE
Fitness Pro

A while back, I wrote “Pro Tips For A Tight, Flat Tummy.” My goal was to teach that in order to get a flat and tight tummy, you need to reduce body fat through a calorie-reduced nutrition program, incorporate strength training (2-3 days per week) and cardiovascular exercise (3-5 days per week for at least 30 minutes) to stimulate the metabolism.

If you think 100 or 1000 abdominal crunches a day will give you celebrity abs, then please re-read the paragraph above. I sometimes overemphasize this point because of all the myths we’re bombarded with about how to actually flatten the abs.

My goal is to provide you with an abdominal routine that will strengthen and tighten your abs. No anatomy lesson today, just the workout — direct and no nonsense.

The effectiveness of any exercise is based on proper technique, sufficient intensity and intelligent frequency. So work it hard!

1. Reverse Ab Curl

This exercise is for the lower abdominal area. I’m always amazed how many people always start their abdominal routine with some sort of a crunch movement for the upper ab region, yet most of the complaints I receive pertain to the lower portion of the abs.

To perform the exercise, lie on a mat with your back relaxed and your hands on the floor by your hips. Keep the upper back pressed into the floor throughout the exercise. Contracting your abs, raise your butt and gently roll your hips off the floor, stopping when you feel a full contraction of the abdominals and can no longer lift your hips. Slowly return to the starting position.

Exhale while lifting your hips and inhale while returning to the starting position. Don’t focus on your legs pulling inward. Instead, place all your focus on the lower abs pulling in. It may be difficult to initially concentrate on the area, but once you practice it enough with the correct mental concentration, you’ll really feel the area being worked.

2. Double Crunch

The Double Crunch is a great exercise because when performed correctly, it focuses on both the upper and lower abdominal region.

Lie on a mat face up. Bend your knees until your legs are at a 45-degree angle with both feet on the floor. Your back should be comfortably relaxed on the floor. Place both hands crossed gently over your chest or on the sides of your head with the finger tips touching gently. Contracting your abdominals, raise your head and legs off the floor toward one another. Crunch hard and tight. I want you to hold the contraction at the top of the movement for one second.

Slowly return to the starting position, stopping just short of your shoulders and feet touching the floor. Exhale while rising up and inhale while returning to the starting position. Keep your eyes on the ceiling to avoid pulling with your neck.

3. Bicycle Maneuver

Research consistently rates the Bicycle Maneuver as one of the most effective abdominal exercises.

Lie on a mat with your lower back in a comfortable position. Place your finger tips on either side of your head by your ears. Bring your knees up to about a 45-degree angle. Slowly go through a bicycle pedaling motion, alternating your left elbow to your right knee, then your right elbow to your left knee.

This can be a more advanced exercise. Do not perform this activity if it puts any strain on your lower back. Do not pull on your head and neck during this exercise. The lower to the ground your legs bicycle, the harder your abs have to work.


FREQUENCY:

If you’re a beginner, perform each movement slowly and at your own pace. Try for 15-20 repetitions on each exercise and take your time moving from one exercise to the next. Perform only one cycle. A cycle is defined as performing all four exercises in order. Attempt the routine three days per week on non-consecutive days of the week. Don’t worry if you can’t get the recommended rep range. Do as many as possible with good form and try to increase week to week.

For those with more experience, perform three cycles with one minute rest between each cycle. The key is to keep the intensity level high. As you progress, you’ll be amazed at how many reps you can perform and how hard and tight your abs get. Perform the routine three days per week on non-consecutive days.

Remember, work at your own personal fitness level and focus on perfect form to avoid injury and in order to isolate the muscle. Also, don’t forget to stretch after every workout for 5-10 minutes.

This routine is effective and produces results when you’re consistent on your eDiets nutrition plan and overall exercise program. It’s all about balancing all the components to achieve your celebrity abs.

Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

Food Pyramid Gets a Face-Lift with New MyPlate

0 comentarios

By Pam Ofstein, MS, RD, LDN
eDiets Director of Nutrition

ChooseMyPlate.govThe new face (graphic symbol) of nutritional advice for consumers was released today by the United States Department of Agriculture – MyPlate. The goal is to send a simpler message to the nation when it comes to nutrition and understanding the importance of balance, variety, moderation and adequacy. Long gone are the days of MyPyramid and other pyramid icons (too many revisions to name) which to many of us seemed unpractical to understand and didn’t provide the basic information to help us eat healthier or make changes in their eating habits.

I can’t promise the new icon will solve our obesity epidemic or make us all healthier, but MyPlate should provide an easier, friendlier view of how to eat practical and work towards adopting the recommendations set forth of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (see below). We are steering away from triangles with lists and pictures of foods to eat or limit, and heading in the direction of focusing on basic food types (like fruits) to include visually.

The new MyPlate icon is a simple plate split into four sections representing a different type of food (protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetatables). Each section varies in size (for example protein is a smaller part of the plate than vegetables) depending on the recommended portion of each food an individual should eat.

I think to most of us, the previous Food Pyramid didn’t say much to the majority population out there. In fact, to most of us it was pretty confusing or simply didn’t provide the information that we needed. It is important to know the types of foods to eat (pictures of good fats, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, etc.) as seen on the pyramid, but when you begin to say 2-3 servings of this and 6-11 servings of that, to most of us it doesn’t tell us what our meal should look like. It isn’t just about the foods; it is about the portions and what a meal looks like.

Simpler is often better. In this case, basic, direct guidelines may help make a difference or at a minimum reinforce what nutrition experts have been preaching: moderation, portion control, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy and more water!

Here are the Dietary Guidelines 2010 messages for consumers:

Balancing Calories

Enjoy your food, but eat less.Avoid over-sized portions.

Foods to Increase

Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.Make at least half your grains whole grains.Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.

Foods to Reduce

Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread and frozen meals, and choose the foods with lower numbers.Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

Healthy Dining Restaurant of the Month: Pita Pit

0 comentarios

By Pam Ofstein, MS, RD, LDN
eDiets Director of Nutrition Services

Pita PitYou’re probably familiar with a pita, a “pocket bread” whose origins trace back to the Middle East. Today, pitas offer the perfect convenience food, especially for those seeking healthful choices. Often made with whole grains, when stuffed with lean protein, healthful salads or veggies and a little sauce, a pita is ideal as an on-the-run meal. Better yet, relax then enjoy every bite in leisure.

The Pita Pit is one of the most popular restaurants in the U.S. and Canada that focuses solely on this wonderful, wholesome grain pocket. With so many choices, it can be challenging. But one favorite is their delicious Hummus Pita, a whole wheat pita loaded with spinach, tomatoes, onions, black olives and tzatziki sauce for just 380 calories. Not only does it taste great (love that Mediterranean flavor) but with 12 grams of protein and zero cholesterol, it is packed with 9 grams of fiber; it’s a great way to boost up that fiber daily! If you are looking to decrease the calories a tad more, don’t forget, you can always go lighter on tzatziki sauce (order it on the side).

Another great option is the all new Spicy Black Bean Pita! This vegan option will satisfy your taste buds and be a friend to your waistline. It includes a black bean patty in a whole wheat pita with spinach, tomato, onion, cucumber, pepperoncinis and ancho chipotle sauce. That’s a lot of flavor for just 420 calories, 11 grams fat (only 1 g saturated fat!), 19 grams of protein and a whopping 14 grams of fiber!

If you like seafood (like me), the Pita Pit has you covered. For just 340 calories, you can order the Tuna Pita with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers. This energizing meal provides only 4 grams of fat, 7 grams of fiber and is packed with 38 grams of protein!

These are just a few of the delicious options available. With so many healthy selections, you’re sure to find a satisfying meal at the Pita Pit!

Sizzling Summer Fat Burners

0 comentarios

By Vanessa Rush
eDiets Contributor

If you’re looking to burn maximum calories, then why not have some hot fun in the summertime? The heat is definitely on, but if you’re doing something that you love, then it can seem like less of a workout and more of a good time. Break out of the air-conditioned gym for some great summer calorie burners.

You can knock out your cardio with some activities that are the perfect blend of fun and intensity, whether you’re taking a beach vacation, camping in the mountains or staying close to home – and the community pool.

Fitness pro Raphael Calzadilla recommends finding an activity that you love – when you enjoy it, you’ll work harder at it, he says. “The thing about exercise intensity is that the more you enjoy the activity, the more likely you’ll perform it with frequency and consistency. Also, if you don’t enjoy the activity, then you simply won’t do it at the level of intensity necessary,” Raphael says.

Before you start enjoying the great outdoors, be sure you have plenty of water to rehydrate. You may not feel thirsty, but you’ll sweat more outside doing high-intensity activities than you think. And even if you’re keeping cool in the water, you’ll still need to keep the inside of your body cool by drinking plenty of water.

Take it easy at first – gradually build your speed and intensity as you allow your body to get used to working out in hot weather. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing, and don’t forget the sunscreen.

The versatility of being outside will make it a lot easier to find fun exercise activities. Here are some of Raphael’s favorite choices, based on fun and calorie-burning efficiency:

Beach Volleyball — 575 calories
Frisbee Tossing — 200 calories
Bicycling — 590 calories
Mountain Biking — 575 calories
Hiking — 400 calories
Horse Back Riding (Galloping) — 550 calories
Rollerblading — 475 calories
Swimming — 400 calories
Tennis (singles) — 400 calories
Tennis (doubles) — 280 calories
Surfing — 200 calories

*The values given for each activity are based on a 150-pound woman exercising at moderate intensity for one hour.

Maximize those values by making some tweaks in intensity. Use the terrain around you to make your workout more challenging. For example, a beach run or beach volleyball will burn more calories than one done on pavement, due to the uneven surface of the sand. Creating drag in the water while swimming laps will increase intensity as well. Biking up hills and on grass has the same effect.

Raphael says the effectiveness of cardio exercise all depends on intensity. “Cardio time is irrelevant to me if I have no way of analyzing not only the type of cardio and time performed — but also the degree of intensity. A leisurely stroll on a treadmill for an hour is not going to even come close to the calorie burn of 30 minutes of a high intensity run. The bottom line is that the type of cardio, time, and intensity all count when it comes to having the most efficient calorie-burning session.”

So get out there and enjoy the warm weather. Before you know it, you’ll be cooped up in the gym once again.

9 Natural High Blood Pressure Cures

0 comentarios

By eDiets Staff

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is often called the silent killer because it can cause damage to organs or lead to heart attack or stroke without any obvious symptoms. If you have mild to moderate hypertension, you may be a good candidate for non-drug remedies.

If you’re already on medication, don’t stop taking it. See your doctor and discuss the situation first. Together, you may be able to work out a few strategies that will help bring your blood pressure into a normal range (below 120/80 mm Hg).

Here are a few suggestions to get you started.

1. Exercise – Some form of mild aerobic exercise — at least a half hour for four or five days a week — is a standard treatment for hypertension. If you’re not making a point to do it already, you need to get off your butt and start. You don’t have to knock yourself out. Even just brisk walking will be beneficial. A recent study showed that people with moderate hypertension can lower it five to eight points with exercise alone. Exercise also helps relieve stress — another cardio benefit.

2. Smoking – Quite simply: Don’t do it. Nicotine has an adverse effect on the adrenal glands, causing them to increase blood pressure.

3. Losing Weight – If you’re overweight, even losing just a few pounds can help lower your blood pressure. Start with a modest goal of dropping maybe just five or 10 pounds. After that, you can worry about whether you want or need to lose more.

4. Salt – Many doctors will suggest you greatly reduce or cut out salt intake. But recent studies show that only about 30 to 40 percent of people are salt-sensitive. You can check whether you’re one of them by greatly reducing your sodium intake for two or three weeks. After that time, take your blood pressure and see if it’s any lower. If it makes a difference, stay on a low-sodium diet, but also increase your potassium. (There seems to be a relationship between high-sodium/low potassium in diets.) You can either take supplements or modify your diet to include more bananas, potatoes, peppers, pears, eggplants or tomatoes.

5. Fiber – A low-fiber diet will promote hypertension, so make a point of eating several servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Also eat whole-grain cereals and breads.

6. Dark Chocolate – A  study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that a daily dose of dark chocolate can help reduce blood pressure. The study, headed by Dr. Dirk Taubert of University Hospital of Cologne, found that dark chocolate reduced systolic blood pressure by 2.9 units, and diastolic by 1.9 units. “Our study provides sufficient evidence to recommend low amounts of dark chocolate as an addition to a healthy diet,” Dr. Taubert says. Just keep it to no more than a few ounces a day…And sorry, milk chocolate and white chocolate don’t do the trick.

7. Celery – Celery contains a chemical that relaxes the blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure. Four stalks a day should be sufficient. But celery is also high in sodium, so don’t eat it if you’re salt-sensitive.

8. Garlic – Garlic has been shown to significantly reduce blood pressure. Eat it as much as possible. But if you don’t want to scare friends, family and co-workers away, there are garlic supplements available that don’t affect your breath.

9. Calcium and Magnesium Supplements – The two go together to reduce blood pressure in some people (but not all), although medical science still doesn’t know exactly how the relationship works. Experts recommend you take calcium and magnesium for about two months, then see if they seem to reduce your blood pressure. If they do, keep using them.

Foods for a Focused Mind

0 comentarios

By Keri Glassman, MS, RD, CDN
eDiets Contributor

We spend countless hours focusing on our bodies. We try to eat all the right foods to stay lean and fit; we exercise to improve our body’s muscle tone and we pamper ourselves, as we should, to simply look great.  And while staying physically healthy is super important, we should also eat well to keep our minds as healthy as our bodies.  After all, our minds are what instructs our bodies and directs our behavior. So, keeping alert, sharp and focused should be top concern.  Remember the wise notion that a healthy mind leads to a healthy body.  Some foods are especially perfect for keeping our mind in tip top shape so it can serve us for a long, long time.

Salmon
You’ve heart it a million times.  Salmon is a superfood! In addition to providing all essential fatty acids, salmon, especially wild salmon, is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids that protect your heart, nourish your body and feed your mind.  Salmon is naturally low in saturated fat and a great source of protein.  The omega-3’s in salmon help improve your mood,  and your overall brain function to keep you focused, sharp and youthful.  If it sounds like a perfect food, well, that’s because it is.

Blueberries
These true blues aren’t just a perfect handful of deliciousness.  They are loaded with antioxidants, low on the glycemic index and are another super brain food.  Studies have found that these tasty berries can improve short-term memory, slow down and potentially reverse brain decline associated with aging and even improve age-related loss of balance.  Add a cup to your morning oatmeal, eat them as a snack in your yogurt or simply by themselves.  Your mind and your taste buds will thank you.

Green Tea
If drinking green tea in elaborate ceremonies that preceded 12-hour meditation sessions was good enough for ancient Japanese monks, then it’s good enough for us.  Packed with antioxidants, green tea also contains anti-cancer and anti-aging properties as well as vitamin C and A.  As far as a focused mind goes, its effects are even better than coffee: it is stimulating yet calming, which allows us to focus without the jitters.  Whether you are meditating in a monastery or in a yoga class, green tea is a perfect complement to your daily grind.

Raw or Dark Chocolate
Made from the cacao bean, an age-old “magical” bean revered by South American civilizations, chocolate can be a perfect dessert.  But this doesn’t mean all chocolate is an ideal brain food.  Raw chocolate or dark chocolate (75% or more) is made from minimally processed cacao beans, which have been shown to improve your mood and your cognitive abilities.  Regular chocolate production refines and processes the cacao bean and adds tons of sugar and calories, so definitely stick with the raw or the dark kind.

Coffee
In the past, coffee has been given a bad rap, but now it is valued for its delicious health benefits. Studies show that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing liver cancer, Parkinson’s disease and Type 2 diabetes. Roasted beans are loaded with antioxidants, and their energizing caffeine properties stimulate cognitive function. The amount of caffeine in brews varies but a single cup of black coffee typically delivers 95-200 milligrams. This is enough to give you an afternoon pick me up without disrupting sweet dreams at night.

Nuts
These little nutrition power houses pack a powerful punch. Loaded with antioxidants, vitamin E, omega 3 fatty acids, fiber and protein, nuts are a great snack to keep your mind fresh and body healthy. Studies show omega 3’s in walnuts aren’t only good for heart health but also for reducing stress and increasing intellectual performance. Antioxidants help protect brain cells, reducing the decline of brain function during aging. A handful of nuts paired with some dark chocolate creates a sweet treat that will make you smile every time you indulge.

Super Success: Autum Loses 86lbs for Good!

By Cathy CoxAutum Lost 86lbs with eDiets!
eDiets Contributor

In January of 2008, Autum, a young mom of three, decided she’d had enough.  Growing up, her mom had been overweight and a diabetic, always too tired and unwilling or unable to play or keep up with her active daughter.  Having to puff on her inhaler and feeling tired and run-down just from playing in the backyard brought back memories for Autum she did not want her children to share, she didn’t want her kids to gorw up the same way.  She decided to make a change for the better.

When Autum joined eDiets at 220lbs she had no idea how it would work.  She chose the eDiets High Fiber plan and began just by following the basic guidelines of her meal plan.  She would log in, print out the menu and shopping list each week, and losing weight became as simple as that!

She lost the first 30lbs in just two months!  Feeling super motivated by her quick weight loss and her new found freedom from her asthma inhaler, Autum became unstoppable.  She found new energy and credits the weight loss with being able to better keep up with her kids, and enabling her to get out and walk and play together!

Autum was losing weight, feeling great, looking fine, AND – setting an example for her children.  She says, “My family eats eDiets as well.  I’ve tried to make it more of a lifestyle for them so they don’t have to change later in life, they know right from the start!”  They’ve even planted a garden together where they grow lots of their own fresh veggies, herbs, and berries, and she has certainly succeeded at setting the tone!  She says now if they are running late and she suggests just grabbing something at a fast food place, her kids reply with “Ewwww Mom! That’s gross!”

All the work and family support certainly paid off, by March of 2009, Autumn had lost a whopping 86 pounds (that’s only 15 months for those of you that are counting), and she’s kept it off ever since!

These days even her husband has gotten in the game.  They workout together, he helps her with strength training and she keeps him on track with nutrition pointers she’s learned from eDiets!  Today, Autum still follows the guidelines of the plan.  She has a binder full of eDiets recipes, and she often seeks out new healthy recipes for the family to share, and she’s always got enough left in the tank to keep up with her kids!

eDiets has helped give Autum, and her family, all the tools they need to enjoy a healthy, long life together. If you’re ready to make some changes, find some energy, lose the weight and look & feel great, click here to find YOUR perfect plan today!

Plus, this is one of the lower-sodium options offered, with only 370 milligrams sodium.

If salads are more your thing, the small Chinese Chicken salad is the perfect alternative, providing only 230 calories, 0.5 grams saturated fat, a healthy 5 grams of fiber and 16 grams of protein.
