Part 1 of: Your Holiday Weight Gain Prevention Plan
by Debi Silber, The Mojo Coach | November 19, 2010
With the holidays upon us, we often celebrate by traveling to see those we love, vacationing…and over-indulging in high fat/high calorie foods. While we look forward to many of the warm feelings and upcoming experiences a holiday can bring, one of the things we may not look forward to is giving ourselves the “gift” of a few extra pounds we’re wearing by the end of the year. If weight gain, frustration and larger clothes aren’t on your wish list, is there a way to enjoy the holiday season guilt-free? Yes, and it starts with a plan.
The first part of your “Holiday Weight Gain Prevention Plan” is to ask yourself what do holidays, time away and vacations mean to you? If you’re a chronic dieter, time away often signifies time off from healthy eating. With any type of restrictive eating, drastic changes have been made to your eating behaviors. These changes are temporary at best so we find ourselves either “on or off,” “all or nothing,” or “good or bad,” leaving a holiday as a prime opportunity to go overboard with our choices, our portions and our behaviors.

March – Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
by Margo Gladding | March 1, 2010
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer affecting men and women in the United States. The risk increases with age (>50 years), but when caught early is often curable. Risk factors include: polyps found in the colon or rectum, high fat diet, family history of colorectal cancer, and inflammatory conditions such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. If you are over the age of 50, or have risk factors, talk to your doctor about important screenings and testing.
Lifestyle-related factors linked to colorectal cancer include smoking, alcohol, obesity, poor diet, and inactivity. Good nutrition and regular physical activity provide a solid foundation for health and can reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases.
The Role Nutritious Food Plays in Weight Control
by Ellen Kittredge | September 7, 2009
I have found in my work with weight-loss clients that teaching just the simple act of becoming more present with each meal by slowing down, taking a breath before lifting each forkful to the mouth, and truly tasting, savoring, and enjoying every bite of food, can bring about 2-3 pounds of weight loss in just one week.
