Food Label Tips !
Amounts to look out for to have healthy servings:
Calorie free: <5/serving
Fat/sugar free: <1/2g/serving
Low calorie: <40/serving
Low sodium: <140mg/serving
High in fat: > 5%/serving
Too high in fat: >10% to 15%/serving
Important to note!
â— Total number of calories
Ensure that you multiply the number of servings per container by the total number of calories, because if you eat the whole container that will be all the calories you have consumed.
â— Ingredient content
Whatever ingredient is listed first is what the item consists mostly of. Ingredients are usually listed in that order.
So if something claims to be whole wheat, whole wheat should be listed first and not sugar.
â— Sugar
To keep sugar low, keep it to less than 5g. If you have an item with 8/9g of sugar that is considered borderline, but monitor the sugar content in other foods for the rest of the day.
â— In General:
Take note that Saturated Fat and Trans Fat are the BAD Fats and Unsaturated Fat is considered to be Good Fat.
Ensure your food has some Fiber to keep you fuller for longer. 3% or more is good.
Have foods with 0% Cholesterol, the most 2%.
Have a Healthy Day!
When does your body start to burn fat during exercise?
After 30 minutes!
Your body burns carbs and sugars for the first 15 minutes of your workout.
So keep going!
Healthy Mayo for your Day-o
Say no more to Fatty Tuna Sandwiches. If fat-free cream cheese is not your thing to spice up your tuna with onion, try this Kraft fat and cholesterol – free mayonnaise found in your local supermarkets. To be specific, this affordable mayo was found in Megamart, Waterloo. Go get yours!
Spread this butter on your Bread and feel Guilt-Free!
Spread this butter on your Bread and feel Guilt-Free! This Original Country Crock Butter is good to have if you must use butter (Fat-free Philadelphia Cream Cheese is an alternative), but in moderation. Sorry to burst your bubble but if spreading on bread, a smear is always best. It is still a blend of oils, water and a pinch of salt.
Amount per serving: 50 calories per serving (1 tbsp)
Positives:
â— Gluten Free
â— Og Trans fat (bad fat) per serving
â— No artificial preservatives
â— Only 8% Saturated fat
Drawback *(According to Suga)
It consists of Palm Kernel and Palm Oil which are bad or unhealthy fats, a.k.a. Saturated fat, but in a small amount (8%).
However the majority of it seems to consist of Soybean oil, which is healthy fat/Unsaturated fat. The container states it consists of 40% vegetable oil.
Note that Soybean oil is listed in the ingredients before the others and therefore would have the highest content.
So have fun with that ‘Bread and Butta’ but cook with Olive oil 🙂
Skinny Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles
Check out how to make Skinny Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles by Kelly Senyei on www.justataste.com.
Kelly also has a video on how to make Zucchini into noodles if you do not have a mandoline or spiralizer.
Cook and eat the healthy way, replacing butter with olive oil and regular pasta with vegetable a.k.a zucchini.
Have fun in the kitchen!
Why is it best to work out when you are sore and not take the day off?
If you have a regular, weekly workout routine, meaning you take your appropriate rest days and don’t feel depressed or anxious, you may take the following advice.
When you have sore muscles from exercising, exercising the following day actually speeds up recovery. HOWEVER, not something like Insanity. Ensure that it is light exercises such as low intensity cardio and YOGA where stretches and controlled movement are good for muscle tightness and soreness, also encouraging oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to flow to the muscles, hence encouraging healing.
Take Vitamin C everyday
Start to take Vitamin C daily if you are not doing so already.
Although it is good for everyone, if you are pushing harder in the gym or with various workout routines since January, when the body is being pushed harder than normal, Vitamin C is good for the immune system.
If you do not like taking tablets, try the Chewables! In Jamaica, Vitamin C – 500mg Chewables are available in Sundown and Nature’s Bounty. You would take 2 each day.
The Nature’s Bounty is about $1200JMD plus tax and will last you for a month and a half. The Sundown is a bit more expensive but it also has more tablets in it.
Have a healthy day!
Sushi anyone?
When last have you had your Sushi fix?
Remember you can keep it healthy if you visit Roe Japanese in Sovereign North and substitute your white rice for brown rice and have your food air fried instead of deep fried. You can also have the organic gluten-free soy sauce instead of the regular, unhealthy soy sauce. All substitutions for the low calorie, healthier versions come with a small additional cost of course.
Stick to fish, avoiding shell fish such as shrimp and lobster and avoid cream cheese.
Go for it!
