Food on the Move Work Time Nutrition and Energy Presented by Cathy Soraghan womenontherun.ie About Cathy ● ● Specialist in weight loss and motivation. Have trained very high end in the market working with clients ranging from the owner of Ryanair to Daniel Day-lewis and his wife Rebecca Miller to TV presenters, authors and corporate companies such as Bank of Ireland, RABO Direct, Lucent Technology and more recently, EU Certification. More about Cathy ● ● ● I have created a very successful weight loss programme with thousands of successes under my belt. I incorporate the low GI system of eating with strength and flexibility training. With less emphasis on cardio training, prescribing short sharp bursts of aerobic exercise instead of long duration. I then furthered my programme by creating ready made low GI meals called 'Food on the Move'. These are all low GI and portion controlled. Your Expectations Why did you come here today? What are you hoping to achieve from the talk? Would anyone like to volunteer how they feel about their own energy levels? Have you ever embarked on a change in your eating habits? Did you succeed? What were the obstacles that caused you to fail? Content of Presentation ● Globesity ● Managing your energy ● Food diaries and smart food planning ● Good snacks vs Bad snacks ● Benefits of drinking water ● Marketing hype on food ● Alcohol ● Cholesterol – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly ● Managing Stress and Sleep Globesity The Cure ● Regular exercise. ● Good Nutrition. ● Making informed choices. ● Low GI (food plans) All foods have a Glycemic Index ranking.Ranging from 0-100. ● Low GI foods range from 0-50. ● Medium GI foods from 50-70. ● High GI foods from 70-100. Better Energy ● ● Obvious signs of a bad diet include feeling tired mid-afternoon, craving sugary snacks and large quantities of coffee and also mood swings. Choose foods from the lower GI groups e.g. Leaves, salads, raw vegetables, pumpkin and sesame seeds, avocado, eggs, beans, pulses, turkey, fish and very lean red meat. ● Reduce your carbohydrate intake. ● Drink plenty of water. Keeping a Food Diary ● It has been proved that people who keep a food diary are more likely to eat better and have better management of their weight. ● The food sequence should be as follows: ● Breakfast ● Mid-morning snack ● Lunch ● Mid-afternoon snack ● Evening meal ● This helps to keep your blood sugars regulated and avoids dips in energy. Breakfasts on the Run Breakfasts on the Run ● ● ● ● Fruit smoothies – avoid high sugary fruit juices in these. Use cloudy apple juice or extract your own juice from vegetables. Add greek yogurt or natural yogurt to provide protein. Fruits, berries (can be frozen) and chia seeds, flaxseed etc. Porridge with milk and cinnamon to add flavour. Eggs of any decription with baked beans and a slice of granary toast. Fresh fruit salad with natural yogurt and a tbsp. Granola. Lunch on the Run Lunch on the Run ● ● ● ● Avoid the sterotypical sandwich. Instead, pack your lunchbox with lots of leaves and tomatoes and chopped red onion. Add chicken or cottage cheese and avocado or sea food (smoked salmon, prawns etc.) accompanied by 2-3 oatcakes. Soup. Very nutritious. Butternut squash, mexican 3 bean, broccoli and blue cheese, tomato and basil etc. Use wholemeal or wheat-free wraps with a filling of your choice. Dinner Dinner ● ● ● ● Avoid ready-made supermarket meals and takeaways. Try and cook fresh. Make it a family occasion. Get the young children to help prepare the food. Only 1 in 4 families eat a meal together once a fortnight. Use sweet potato vs ordinary potato. Basmati rice or wholegrain rice, or wholegrain pasta to accompany the mains. 50g for males, 40g for females. Add lots of vegetables and use spices and herbs to liven up the dishes and lots of leaves. Is there a Need for Snacks? Is there a Need for Snacks? ● ● ● ● It has been proven that snacks are essential in stabilising your blood sugars and keeping your seratonin levels on even keel. Chromium is a supplement that also helps keep your blood sugars stable. Combining both is the key to stabilising your weight. In Ireland we are one of the highest consumers of salty snacks and chocolate treats in Europe. Advertising plays a huge role in this, making it sexy to eat salty and sugary snacks which plays a massive part in contributing to type 2 diabetes. The Frightening Facts of Salty Snack Foods The Frightening facts of Salty Snack Foods ● ● ● Frito-Layhas a research team of nearly 500 scientists dedicated to fine-tuning their snacks for maximum deliciousness and addictive power. They even used a $40,000 chewing simiulation device to achieve the ideal 'crunch' for their chips. Studies show that salt is addictive in some of the same ways as cigarettes or hard drugs, and food companies pack it into their products in astonishing amounts. More about Salt ● ● ● Doritos have more than 3 times as much sodium as crisps. A 380mg serving (4 handfuls of chips) will max out your daily sodium recommendation. The vacuum packed ham (Galtee etc.) contain more than half a days recommended intake. The V8 vegetable juice has 420mg of sodium per portion or 20% of your daily recommended intake as opposed to consuming fresh veg which has 0mg of sodium per portion. Recommended Daily Salt Intake ● ● ● The average salt intake for adults in Ireland is 10g vs the recommended daily intake for salt is 4g. 1g of sodium = 2.54g of salt. Which is why most food producers use sodium in the ingredients instead of salt. Eating one packet of crisps a day is the equivalent of drinking 5 litres of oil a year. The Not So Sweet Facts about Sugar Sugar contributes to 35 million deaths a year The Not So Sweet Facts about Sugar ● ● Many products are sweetened with pure fructose which is different to table sugar. It decomposes much more slowly which extends the shelf life of baked goods. Fructose is much more sweeter tasting than sucrose or glucose which means manufacturers can use less of it (and claim health benefits) while maintaining the same level of sweetness. The Not So Sweet Facts about Sugar ● ● But for the record, regular sugar and high fructose corn syrup are basically the same. Chemically, they're both half glucose half fructose. And they're equally bad for you. Manufacturers tend to use the syrup as it is cheap and convenient. Humans are genetically predisposed to love sugar. This is why food companies put it in foods you wouldn't even expect. Be Aware ● ● ● ● ● There is as much sugar in a half a cup of bottled ready made tomato sauce for bolognese as there is in 3 oreos. 'Fruit' drinks are some of the worst for you e.g. Capri Sun has 28% more sugar per ounce than Coca-cola does. 1 tsp of granulated sugar = 4g. The RDA for sugar is 120g for males and 90g for females. Special K red berry cereal contains 23g. Marketing Hype on Food Artificial Sweeteners Disadvantages of using diet drinks: ● ● ● ● The sweeteners mess with your metabolism, creating metabolic syndrome. They cause the body to crave more sugar, leading to obesity. Can cause cell damage including mild irritants to the skin and eyes. Rotting teeth. Diet drinks are very acidic (pH of 3.2). The Facts about Fat The Facts about Fat 1 DiGiorno cheese stuffed crust pizza has more than 2 days worth of saturated fat (42g). The Facts about Fat ● ● Eating a diet high in saturated fat can cause the level of cholesterol in your blood to build up over time. This increases your risk of heart disease. Eating unsaturated fats can help lower blood cholesterol. These include omega 3 essential fatty acids which are found in oily fish e.g. Salmon, nuts and seeds, avocados, sunflower and olive oils. More on Fat ● ● ● ● High in fat is 17.5g per 100g, low in fat is 3g of fat or less per 100g. Just because food packaging says 'contains low fat' or 'reduced fat', doesn't mean it is a healthy choice. In these foods the fat is usually replaced with sugar and the food may end up the same or with an even higher energy content. The recommended daily allowance of fat is 30g for males and 20g for females. Low Fat vs Normal Fat ● ● ● In the states they discovered, after they introduced low fat foods, people adopted the philosophy that they can have as much of this food group as they want. It is now being discovered that eating normal fat is better for us. E.g. Olive oil, butter, full fat greek yogurt etc. Is better for us than low fat margarines (full of trans fats). All low fat products contain sugars which are very toxic and can cause carcinogenics in the body. Good Snacks vs Bad Snacks Good Snacks vs Bad Snacks ● ● Carrot (or any raw veg) and hummus, berries with unsalted cashew nuts, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, popcorn made with chilli powder, oatcakes with peanut butter or cream cheese, a square of dark chocolate. Natural yogurt with fresh fruit, cup of homemade soup, smoothie. Bad snacks include salty peanuts, crisps, tortillas, chocolate, candy, ice-cream, biscuits, sugary drinks (all of these attack your blood sugars causing slumps in energy levels). Increasing your Water Intake Remember Water... ● Helps metabolize stored fat. ● Increases energy and relieves fatigue. The Weekly Shop The Weekly Shop ● ● ● ● Very important part of the plan to become healthy. What we put into the shopping trolley ends up in the press, larder and fridge. Therefore planning in advance is essential. It has been proven that people who shop online are at far less risk of buying foods that are high in calories and fat. You can make it a family occasion by getting everyone in the house involved in what they want to eat. The Weekly Shop ● ● ● ● Try and buy fresh food only. Preferably only every 2-3 days. Prepare a shopping list. Loading up on fruit and veg., rye breads or granary bread. Sweet potatoes vs normal. Seeds vs nuts. Berries vs bananas. Avocado's vs watermelon. Oat cakes vs biscuits. Peanut butter vs margarines. Red wine vs white wine. Limiting alcohol to a treat once a week (1-2 glasses, preferably red wine). Fresh fish, turkey, chicken and limited red meat. Fridge Prep ● ● Prepare your leaves for your lunchbox. Chop tomatoes and onions etc. Soak your fruit in water and vinegar for a few minutes to ensure it lasts for over a week. Fridge/Freezer Prep ● ● ● ● Use your weekends constructively by preparing food for the following week. Prepare soups and freeze. Store as individual pots rather than 1 big batch. Prepare ready made meals such as shepards pie with sweet potatoe, kormas - made with creme fraiche (chicken or prawn or veg). Make a pot of stew or fish pie with sweet potatoe etc. Store these in individual portions. Leave plenty of raw vegetables in your fridge, chopped and ready to accompany any main. Alcohol What is a GMO? ● A GMO is a Genetically Modified Organism, which is a living organisim whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a lab through genetic engineering. ● They create dangerous side effects. ● They are very unhealthy. Effects of Alcohol ● ● ● ● Excessive alcohol intake affects your liver, leaving fat deposits. This causes the liver to malfunction, disenabling it from processing toxins in your body. Long term abuse of alcohol will affect your brain and your ability to make decisions. Heavy drinking also heavily depletes your vitamin B12 store which affects your nerve endings. It increases body fat and contributes to weight gain. How Many Units? ● ● ● How many units of alcohol do you consume per week? The recommended weekly allowance for males is 17 standard drinks or fewer with 2 alcohol-free days. For women it is 11 standard drinks with 2 alcohol-free days. Anything more than the above can lead to lack of energy, depression/stress, insomnia, impotence, risk of injury and high blood pressure. What Should I Drink? ● ● ● Spirits – a standard measure of spirits is equal to 2 units of alcohol. Vodka is the purest spirit on the market. However all spirits if drunk in excess, will cause a greater risk of cirrhosis of the liver. Beer – a pint or large can is the equivalent of 2 units. Overuse of beer can also affect the bowel due to the wheat in it and it can cause the bowel to ferment. Wine – red wine is better for us than white due to less sugar and as a result contains less carcinogenics. Stress Stress ● ● ● The symptoms of stress include anxiety, irritability,inability to concentrate, anger, weight gain and inability to sleep. Dependency on alcohol and cigarettes or prescription drugs. The importance of sleep in weight loss is critical. Scientists have proven that people who don't have a good sleeping pattern tend to gain weight as they crave carbohydrates and caffeine when they hit the afternoon 'slump'. Managing Stress Managing Stress ● There are several regimes that specifically target stress management. We have listed below the ones we find very successful. ● Practice deep breathing and meditation. ● Tai chi. ● Doing yoga and pilates style exercises. ● ● Getting out in the fresh air everyday and taking a brisk walk even for 20 minutes. Practice the art of going to bed early with all electronic equipment removed from the bedroom. Calming Foods Calming Foods ● ● ● ● ● ● Avoid more than 2 cups of coffee or tea a day. Chromium regulates your blood sugars and keeps you on an even keel. Chia seeds and cinnamon are uplifting. Broccoli / lettuce contains antioxidants to help your body manage stress. Bell Peppers are a good anti-stress food due to their high vitamin C content. Pumpkin seeds contain zinc which helps manage stress. Reducing Cholesterol What is Cholesterol? ● ● ● ● Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is made in your liver from certain fats in your diet. Good cholesterol (High Density Lipoprotein) stays in your bloodstream and helps to carry bad cholesterol back to the liver for processing. Bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) lines your artery walls and increases your risk of coronary heart disease. Being overweight, a bad diet and lack of exercise contribute to raising cholesterol levels. Lowering Cholesterol by Diet Lowering Cholesterol by Diet ● ● ● Fish – omega-3 fatty acids thin the blood and stop abnormal heart rhythms. Porridge – attaches itself to the bad cholesterol in your body and is therefore good at removing the LDL cholesterol. Fruit and veg – reduces blood pressure due to antioxidants. Lowering Cholesterol by Diet ● ● ● Garlic – 2 or 3 cloves a day lowers cholesterol, reduces high blood pressure and makes the arteries more elastic. Dark chocolate – 100g/one small bar a day can lower blood pressure due to the rich source of antioxidants. Almonds – a handful a day lowers total cholesterol levels. Goal Setting Think about your goal and complete the following: ● Why I want to realise this goal? ● What am I prepared to do to get there? ● What could get in my way? ● How can I deal with these situations? ● What will be my reward for reaching this goal? ● When will I start making change?
