START TO READ YOU FOOD LABELS AND LOOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT EVEN NOTICING!!

 STAND AT YOUR GROCERRY ISLE AND COMPARE CALORIES OF ALL FOOD PRODUCTS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE.

It’s really easy go for products that state on packaging “low fat dairy, unsaturated fats, complex carbs (high fiber), lean meats, no additives and include more fruits and vegetables in your diet”. Buy prepacked meals that state   boiled, steamed or grilled

Not all products stating that they’re healthier are actually the lowest in calories. Learn to compare. E.g

  Mayonaise X   (slim reduced oil/ dressing) = 581KJ/100g

                         vs

 Mayonaise  Z (Light) =1430KJ/100g

  Both products claim that they have reduced calories but one has less than the other. Mayonaise X is obviously the more health conscious choice    #overeating #Healthyliving #Healthylifestyles #mabasodietitian”

1.     IN 2017 LET’S NOT EAT OURSELVESTO DEATH

We as human beings are more superior to food. Food is not the enemy you are to yourself.

An ancient Ayurvedic proverb states “When the diet is WRONG medicine is of no use. When diet is CORRECT Medicine is no need”

Being overweight or obese increases your risk for developing serious health conditions and diseases such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, abnormal blood fats, decreased physical function, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and some cancers.

  A lifestyle disease like diabetes Type 2 has become one of the leading causes of death!

14 November was diabetes day, which marks this month as diabetes month.

http://www.idf.org/news/world-diabetes-day2016

 415 million adults in the World are diabetic, million annual deaths world wide and 2.28 million cases of diabetes in South Africa 2015.

Bad Lifestyle is equal to lifestyle disease like Diabetes currently 1 in 2 people don’t know that they are diabetic. Early detection of diabetes is important of you screen at your local pharmacy for blood pressure, glucose, eye tests and risk of obesity. Get a list from your dietitian on food to choose and avoid.

 Complications of diabetes include blindness, lower limb amputations, kidney failure, stroke/ heart attacks can be avoided if we eat healthier. Visit your dietitians for foods to choose and avoid.

[mabasodietitian-blog]

[mabasodietitian-blog]

We do it the right way by eating and bit starving..... but the maintainable way Giving you knowledge on good food food choices , calories (food labeling) , better cooking methods - we empower patients to take control of their health by creating a more sustainable eating habit!

Our FAD DIET Case Study

So after this lady could not afford Banting she is most likely to go back to previous unhealthy habits.... Or attempt a cheaper diet like a pill (laxatives) or some magic potion.

If she reads on things she has no background  knowledge , she doesn't have that discernment on what is safe unsafe ? You are gullible to non scientific information such as general public who post their diets on social networks or internet sites.

Dietitians believe ?

That fad diets don't accommodate for different disease types and can possibly be life threatening. When giving someone a diet plan you have to consider their medical background.

The miracle meal plan  in the magazine can't be suitable for a normal person,a diabetic,cholesterol patients or someone possibly with celiac disease,irritable bowl disease/cancer or by gut problems

Like someone with kidney failure/cholesterol  can't be on a high protein diet like Banting.

So when you are taking fad diets they tell you and give you the knowledge to acquire like dietitian do.

The dietitians way?

We advocate you can loose weight gradually and the correct way. We (dietitians) teach you the difference between:

- good fats (unsaturated) to bad fats (saturated) which sources you get it from

- how to identify high sugary foods instead of avoiding all types

-different cooking methods boil , steam, grill,

- high fibre foods (good) in comparison refined carbs/white starch  (bad)

- knowing food labels will help you choose correctly anywhere

- portion control which allows you to buoy all food

- regular and correct snacking food types

-what sort of beverages/sauces make you gain weight and which don't

-correct amounts of vegetables and fruit

The reality is that eating healthy should not be expensive, it's how much and what you choose

People should not believe in a 10 day miracle diet but rather a healthy lifestyle and working out.

Dietitians  don't advocate any fad diets ! -their is no scientific evidence (eg blood group) - they are a quick fix and always back fire -some induce diarrhea where your stomach linning  gets thin and complications like ulcers -they also disturb the natural organism sand natural bacteria is your stomach linning so you can easily get ulcers and gut problems

FAD DIET

Why a dietitian and not fad diets  ?

So healthy eating after seeing a dietitian will help you make couscous decision on how to Adapt what you eat  to your lifestyle , you budget , your schedule!

Dietitians studied the anatomy/physiology  of the body and how food helps with functions.

Fad diets are targeted at people who want to lose weight quickly without exercise.

Some fad diets claim that they make you lose fat, but it’s really water weight you’re losing.

Fad diets that are restricted to certain foods may work, but most are boring or unappealing. This can make them difficult to follow on a long-term basis(lifestyle) And some fad diets can actually be harmful to your health.

A fad diet is a diet that promises quick weight loss through what is usually an unhealthy and unbalanced diet.
