Boucherville, Repentigny, Laval, Montreal, Blainville ... Decidedly, I have not been easy these days! Between 10 and 13 November, there are 7 lectures of 1h30 each I have given ... Dry mouth, sore backs, sore feet. Phew! Hard, hard, to be a nutritionist! ;)
Well, over the changes from "chiâlage", now move on to positive things! Admit that you wanted to be with us during these presentations. Dynamism, crispy news and recipe ideas were in the spotlight! But most importantly, a topic that you particularly intriguing: healthy weight. And since you have the privilege to read, I must tell you a few highlights of this famous presentation! Ahem ... I keep you in suspense! I will not reveal the content that a ticket at a time. (A good way to make sure you come visit me? What ... Every entrepreneur has its marketing strategy!)
What think healthy weight?
One thing that plagues us, it's the dreaded number on the scale. (In 2007, a survey by the Dairy Farmers of Canada found that 75% of women who had wanted to lose weight at a healthy weight)
But in my opinion, this figure is neither more nor less than "penny black ". We can not rely solely than its weight to check his health. The famous * BMI (body mass index) is not the ultimate determinant of our healthy weight.
- Do you exercise?
- Do you eat your fill?
- Do you smoke?
- What is your waistline?
- you feel good about yourself?
These are other questions to ask before even discussing calories from pounds, kilos of of balance ... Terms of my mouth leaks as often as possible ...
course, being overweight increases the risk of certain diseases (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc..) But in the same way, wanting to be thin is not to our advantage. Weight loss may very well lead to nutritional deficiencies, chronic fatigue, a decrease of self-esteem and especially loss of fun to eat!
And while society requires us to be thin to meet the standards of beauty, do not you think that our environment tends to make us develop overweight? Elevators instead of stairs, a drive-thru instead of walking, fast food every street corner ... Inactivity and poor food: nothing better way to enrich the pockets of the inventors of fad diets!
Think positive ... There are certainly healthier ways to maintain or achieve a healthy weight, rather than adhering to those famous diets. Ah, the regimes. Subject that I deal with in my next post.
Do not miss it! Meanwhile, start by cutting all ties with your scale;)
