What's your next step?
I’ve been working on this blog for about a year now and it’s sad to see that not many things have changed in the past 12 months. As I look through the recent news articles on health – they’re the same topics I saw last year at this time. “How to keep your New Year’s Resolutions�, “The diet that really works�, “How to lose weight without exercise�, “Is high-protein the answer to weight loss?�. This is ridiculous! Why does everyone need a gimmick to follow? What’s wrong with the plan that myself and fellow dietitians recommend – the food pyramid, moderation, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, lean protein sources, healthy fats and regular exercise. Please tell me why no one trusts the wisdom of the food experts? It’s not about mixing this food group with another or eating at this specific time of the day. It’s not about eliminating entire food groups. It’s not based on celery and lettuce. It’s an accumulation of many different foods over a period of a week, a month, a year. It’s consistently finding time to exercise. It’s not a snap of the fingers or a pill you swallow everyday. It takes effort and it takes time. The question is whether or not you’re willing to take that next step.
