Does Fast Food Have to Mean Fast Weight Gain? What is Award-winning Nutritionist's Answer?
Fast
Food Is the Fast Track to Weight Gain
By
Ann Tyndall, Ph.D.
The average person eats 1/3 of their
meals away from home and the majority of those meals are fast food meals. People who eat at fast food restaurants two
or more times a week are more likely to
be overweight and insulin resistant,
with increased risk of diabetes than those who don’t eat fast food.
Most
fast food meals contain 1,000 calories or more for just one meal. A single fast food meal could contain all the
fat and calories that a person should have in a whole day. Just one super-size drink could have over
1,000 calories and enough sugar to raise blood sugar dangerously high,
increasing the risk of developing diabetes.
Choose diet drinks or water instead.
The
best way to manage calorie overload at fast food restaurants is to prepare more
meals at home but when you must eat on the run, here are some ways to save on
calories and fat.
When
eating at fast food restaurants, follow these tips:
• Don’t
“super-size” and save hundreds of calories.
Order the regular burger instead of the giant sized one.
• Skip
the bacon, mayonnaise, sour cream and other high calorie toppings.
• Order
items that are grilled and avoid the fried foods.
• Order
a side salad with low-fat dressing along with your meal.
• Ask
for extra vegetables on burgers and sandwiches.
• If you
order a baked potato, go light on the sour cream, butter and cheese sauce.
• Choose
low fat frozen yogurt or ice cream for dessert.
• Visit
your favorite fast food restaurant’s website for their nutrition guide. Notice calorie content and keep in mind that
2,000 calories per day is the upper limit and beyond that, most people will
gain weight.

What is the Longevity Lifestyle? Nitritilonist Ann Tyndall Ph.D. Answers.
The Longevity Lifestyle
By Ann Tyndall, Ph.D.
If you were
willing to do only one thing, and one thing only to help you live longer and
better, what would it be? Research
overwhelmingly supports that the single most important thing you can do for health
and longevity is to get regular exercise, which is 30-50 minutes of activity at
least five days a week. Studies of the
longest-lived people of the world reveal that these people live in very remote
areas of the world, often mountainous, and they don’t have very good
roads. They walk several miles a day as
part of their regular routine. Active in
their eighties, nineties and even one hundreds, they are walking, dancing, swimming
and even riding horses. Exercise is what
keeps them young, mobile and energetic.
Regular
exercise, essential for heart health, is shown to be just as effective in
maintaining healthy arteries and cholesterol levels as cholesterol-lowering
drugs and there are no side effects. Exercise
is more effective in preventing and treating depression than drugs and it was
also shown to be preventive in diabetes and many cancers. The key is to find
something that you enjoy and will do on a regular basis. The best mix of exercise is to have at least three
sessions of cardio a week, such as power walking, Zumba, cycling or swimming
and at least two sessions of strength training (weight lifting) per week, which
also strengthens bones. Stretching every
day keeps range of motion and prevents stiffness.
Even
regular exercise is not enough if you sit too much, state the latest research
studies.
Sitting disease is now called
the new smoking as the toll it takes compares with smoking risk. If you feel a little guilty after a long TV
binge, you may be shocked to find the health hazards of sitting are a threat
even if you went to the gym today. The
average person sits for about eight hours a day, in front of a screen or behind
the wheel and this increases the risk of coronary events (heart attack, angina
or stroke) by 125% over those who move around more. Sitting increases risk for colon, breast and
endometrial cancers and muscles get mushy causing weakness, instability and
back and neck pain. Foggy brain follows
those long bouts in the chair because moving muscles are needed to pump fresh blood
and oxygen for maximum brain function.
So get
moving. Standing is better than sitting
and you can stand when you talk on the phone, have standing meetings or
walks. Work standing up and take
frequent movement breaks when you are working at the desk or watching TV. Take frequent breaks when driving and get
your muscles moving. Even a little
muscle movement helps get the circulation going to keep all systems working
optimally.

Good News About Food? 5 Reasons to Rejoice - #1 Coffee is Good for You, #2 ... ?
Good Nutrition News
By Ann Tyndall, Ph.D.
If headlines about pink slime in hamburger, the push to go
gluten free and the panic about pesticides in orange juice make you think that
there is no news but bad news on the nutrition front, here is a list of good
news items about food to make you feel better.
- Frozen food is just as nutritious as fresh food and sometimes more so because it is frozen at the peak of freshness while fresh produce may take days to travel to market and then sit on grocery store shelves, losing nutrients. Fresh and frozen foods are better than canned foods to avoid exposure to the chemical hormone disrupters in the plastic liners of cans.
- Coffee is good for you. After years of scares that it may be associated with a variety of ills, coffee is now recognized as a healthy source of antioxidants that can be preventive against certain cancers, heart rhythm problems and strokes. Coffee drinkers are less likely o have Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and dementia. Black coffee or coffee with low-fat milk and no sugar are better choices to keep the calories down.
- Tea is good for you. Tea may help with cancer, heart disease, and
diabetes. It may lower cholesterol and increase mental alertness. Tea also appears to have antimicrobial qualities. Some teas, including green tea and oolong tea may encourage weight loss. - Chocolate is good for you. Dark chocolate, not milk chocolate or white chocolate, has powerful antioxidants that protect against heart disease and cancer. Dark chocolate has been shown to lower blood pressure. Watch the calories and eat just a little for maximum benefit. The good news is that you could eat chocolate every day, knowing that not only is it delicious but it helps you.
- Fat free is not necessary nor is it the best choice for maximum nutrition benefits. The vitamins in salad are absorbed best if there is a little olive oil on the salad. Many vitamins are fat-soluble and they require fat to be utilized. Enjoy the flavor and the vitamin boost.
