Eat a small midmorning snack approximately three hours after your breakfast. This could be a piece of fruit, a small fat-free yogurt, or one or two pieces of low-fat string cheese. The only exception is if three hours after your breakfast is lunchtime. Try not to eat lunch later than 1:30 p.m.Lunch should include a healthy balance of High/Quality/Low-Stress protein, fat, and carbohydrates (see Chapter 6 for more details). Three hours after lunch is usually the beginning of the CortiZone. At this time, it is imperative to eat food that provides you with High-Quality/Low Stress energy at a time of day when you are becoming hungry and fatigued. Combinations of protein and carbohydrates are ideal. This includes low-fat or fat-free yogurt or cottage cheese, along with a piece of fruit. Dinner should be started anywhere from 6 to 7:30 p.m. It shouldinclude soup or salad, vegetables, and a source of protein, such as poultry, lean red meat, fish, legumes, or veggie burger. Mixed fruit could be served as a dessert item. Try to have dinner completed by 8 p.m. My favorite saying is that if "you eat after eight, you gain a lot of weight!" Try to finish eating dinner before eight o'clock at least four to five days per week. If you must eat dinner after eight, eat lighter and eat before you go to dinner. Women over the age of forty do not require dense complex carbohydrates (pasta, bread, potatoes, or rice) after 5 p.m. These foods are rich fuel sources and should be consumed in moderation, primarily during the day. At dinnertime these starches should be considered as occasional treats (once or twice a week, in small portions). The goal is to debulk your dinner of the dense calories from complex carbohydrates. These foods, which were once considered a staple, should now be an infrequent dinner treat. Dispose of all fat-free desserts and snack items in your kitchen. They are riddled with Low-Quality/High Stress refined, processed sugars. Typical restaurant portions are man-sized. At lunchtime, remember to eat only half of any restaurant portion of starch and try to eliminate it at dinner. At lunch, one piece of bread from the bread basket is appropriate. At dinner, hand the bread basket back to the waiter. Remember: the later you eat complex carbohydrates, the more weight you gain. Water should be consumed throughout the day. Often when we think we're hungry, we're actually thirsty. Eight eight-ounce glasses should be drunk during the course of the day. Excerpted from Fight Fat After Forty, Dr. Peeke's national bestseller. ======================================================================================================== Yoga for New Moms: Pre- and Post-NatalBy Julie Tomlinson, AFAA CPT, Dip.N.Med. ========================================================================Yoga improves circulation to your extremities, which can lesson leg cramps and varicose veins. The relaxation effect of yoga can also be beneficial for keeping blood pressure in a healthy range. Yoga helps to strengthen postural muscles and can help alleviate some of the minor discomforts of pregnancy such as heartburn, backache, hip joint and ribcage aches. Often the breathing and relaxation skills that are learned in Yoga can help increase oxygen supply to the fetus and help increase energy levels. Prenatal yoga helps a woman become accustomed to the natural, instinctive yoga-like positions that most women prefer to use during labor and birth. Prenatal yoga also provides an opportunity to explore ones response to pain and develop relaxation and coping strategies for labor when the pain of contractions will exceed ones usual threshold. Because of the physiological changes involving the flexibility and suppleness of joints and ligaments during and after pregnancy it is important that Yoga practiced pre and post natal should always be done with care. Always notify your instructor of your current condition, and listen to your body. ========================================================================Aqua Fitness for New MomsBy Julie Tomlinson, AFAA CPT, Dip.N.Med.======================================================================== There are many physiological changes that take place during pregnancy that make exercising in water an ideal environment. Exercising in water ensures proper cooling and it supports a woman's joints and ligaments against the stresses that the added weight of pregnancy can cause. The water is an ideal and safe atmosphere that can create progressive and gentle resistance allowing the pregnant woman to work at the level that most suits her that day, as energy levels can fluctuate through out her pregnancy. Doctors regularly recommend swimming as the exercise of choice for the pregnant woman. Many women continue with water based workouts through out their entire pregnancy. Note: It is always important to check with your doctor before starting any kind of fitness regime. ============================================================ ----------------------------Help Wanted!
