Can Avocado Help You Lose Weight?

Posted on August 22, 2020August 31, 2020 by Ayanwola Titilayo A

Technically a fruit, avocados are a nutrient-dense food that can help you lose weight. It is also a good source of heart healthy fats and fiber, both of which help you feel more full after a meal. This is because fat and fiber causes the slow release of food from your stomach. This lower transit time, means it takes longer to digest and keeps you satisfied for longer periods.⁠

Beyond weight loss, avocados are high in heart healthy fats, and can lower your risk of developing heart disease by decreasing inflammation in the body. Regular consumption of avocados can lead to improved blood sugar control, increased insulin sensitivity, and reducing levels of the bad cholesterol- LDL.⁠

Eating the right kinds and combinations of food will not only nourish your body, but will allow you to lose weight in a healthy way. I teach my clients how to choose meals that support their health and enhance their well being. ⁠

Does snacking fit into your weight loss plan? Some people think that snacking can sabotage your weight loss efforts and this may have some degree of truth ONLY if you choose snacks that are not supportive of your health and weight loss goals. I encourage my clients to snack between meals if their body calls for it.

This is because it has a ton of benefits:
1)Eating the right combination of snacks can actually help you lose weight
2)Consuming a healthy snack between meals can suppress your hunger
3)Snacking can prevent overeating at meals by controlling your appetite throughout the day
4)Snacking provides necessary fuel needed to prepare and recover from exercise
5)It can help you close nutritional gaps in your diet

To make the most out of your snacks, WITHOUT sabotaging your weight loss efforts, Choose snacks that satisfy your hunger, supply your body with energy, and are rich in nutrients. In order to ‘snack smart’ choose from the following food categories:

Fruits and Vegetables – These are nutrient dense and have low calories

Whole grains – Rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates for an efficient energy boost

Dairy– Great source of protein which helps to reduce your hunger hormones

Nuts and Seeds – Provide healthy fat for satiety.

Eating Your Greens Can Protect You

Posted on July 25, 2020July 28, 2020 by Ayanwola Titilayo A

Greens are rich in fiber, vitamins and nutrients. Eating a healthy portion of greens every day can protect you from developing diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Research has shown that greens can slow down the aging process by delaying the shortening of telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA that shorten with age.⁠ They are nutrient dense and low in calories, which aid in weight loss. Leafy greens are also a good source of calcium for bone health. ⁠They are rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, the disease-fighting compounds found in plant foods.⁠⁠

Eating a serving of leafy greens with every meal can support normal blood glucose levels.⁠ With so many varieties of greens to choose from, it’s easy to add them to your plate. ⁠If you’re finding it challenging to eat healthy, we can talk through whatever difficulties you’re experiencing and develop options specifically for you. ⁠
