Holiday dieting

Holiday dieting

During this time of year, people tend to go off their
"diet" and then really cut back on their food intake
in order to take off the few pounds they put on.

I am going to mention some dont's - it is better to eat
right and lose the weight slowly than to cut out food
you need for good health.

* DON'T cut out one or more entire food groups, including
fats. Your body needs an adequate intake of all nutrients
in order to stay healthy. In every food group there are
'good' and 'bad' choices for weight loss. Stick to the
good ones, and you'll see your weight dropping without
compromising your health.

* DON'T fast for extended periods without medical
supervision. For the same reasons that you shouldn't
restrict your intake of calories to less than 1000 a
day, you shouldn't embark on a long fast without
professional supervision.

* DON'T purge. Purging, whether by emetics, diuretics,
vomit-induction or laxatives robs your body of more than
the nutrients that you're getting rid of. It's unsafe
at any speed. You can end up with far worse problems
than a few extra pounds.

Remember, you are dieting to lose the extra weight, but
you are also learning how to eat healthy for a life time
of good health.
