Surprising healthy BBQ tip in time for Father’s Day

Thinking of doing the big BBQ cookout for Father’s Day this weekend? I started browsing the net for some great healthy hints to share and this one may surprise you. Be sure to check out the whole article from delish.com.

A hamburger doesn’t have to be oversized or loaded with fatty toppings to be a good burger. You may think that the easiest way to lighten a beef burger is to just switch to ground turkey, but that isn’t always true. Not all ground turkey is as light as you may believe ? make sure you’re purchasing ground turkey breast (versus “ground turkey” that may also include the darker meat and skin). Regular ground turkey has more fat and calories than 93% lean ground beef. So if you prefer beef, choose the extra-lean ground beef or ground sirloin and top with crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and reduced-fat cheese…

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Some Sweet Hints for a Healthy Easter

With Easter comes the traditional abundance of sweet treats such as hot cross buns, chocolate Easter eggs, chocolate Easter bunnies, oh and did I mention chocolate?? This makes it hard not to over-indulge, especially if you struggle with food or weight issues or simply want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. So how can you avoid these challenges? Here are a few sweet hints for a healthy Easter.

Keep holiday treats out of sight: If you struggle with food or weight issues, it's likely that you find it difficult to resist food when it is in front of you, especially when it comes to sweets. By leaving bowls of candy or bags of chocolate eggs or bunnies or hot cross buns on the kitchen counters, coffee tables or anywhere else where it is in plain view, you are putting yourself in what I call a "dangerous food situation". If you see it, you will be more likely to eat it then if it is out of sight.

Don’t let the office sweets control you: The workplace poses challenges for those facing food or weight issues with people bringing in their treats to the office. Sometimes there is a specific treat table set up just for this reason or people leave the treats openly visible on their desks. If you know you will have to pass by the treat table or talk to someone with treats on their desk, pop a sugarless candy in your mouth beforehand. If your mouth is already filled and busy with the sweet candy, you will be more conscious of putting anything else in your mouth and be less likely to reach for the treats mindlessly.

Avoid being over-hungry: Whether you’re entertaining or a guest, be sure to eat regular meals throughout the day so that you’re not a bottomless pit by the time the meal or treats are served. Arriving over-hungry is again a "dangerous food situation". Instead, have a small healthy snack and some water to partially fill your stomach before the main meal so that you are less likely to over-indulge on both the meal and the sweets.

Minimize stress: As Easter is a time for family gatherings, you may be susceptible to undue stress with the typical high expectations of how the family gathering “should” go. You may believe that everyone “should” get along and everything “should” go perfectly from the perfectly cooked ham or lamb to the perfectly behaved children. However, expectations don’t always meet reality. Let go of your need for perfection as this will only create unwanted stress. When you’re overstressed, you will be more likely to turn to food for comfort and over-indulge in too much of the less healthy choices.

By avoiding these dangerous food situations and minimizing your stress, you will be able to enjoy a sweet but much healthier Easter with far less of the sweets and other over-indulgences than you would normally experience. Happy holidays!

New tele-coaching program for Healthy Weight Loss and Stress Resilience

As a cancer survivor who has also overcome my own food, weight and lifestyle obstacles, it is now my passion to help others struggling to let go of their unwanted pounds and self-imposed stress. If this sounds like what you're looking for, then let me help you lighten up to a healthier, happier YOU!

Over the years I have helped a multitude of people through my weight loss coaching program using the principles in my internationally acclaimed book, The A List: 9 Guiding Principles for Healthy Eating and Positive Living.

What I discovered time and time again is the strong link between stress management and weight management. And even for those who don't struggle with physical weight issues, their ability to cope with the stresses of daily life has a direct impact on their eating and other lifestyle habits that influence their levels of health and wellness.

As such, I have re-designed my weight loss program which I now offer as a 12-week Group Coaching program all done by telephone and internet making it accessible regardless of one's location. On March 12th, I am also launching my new Stress Resilience Coaching program to help people build their stress management abilities for increased health and wellness.

If you're serious about eating healthy, managing your weight or building your stress resilience for a healthier and happier life, then I invite you to learn more about my unique tele-coaching programs which may be exactly what you've been looking for.

Don't Let Your 'Not Now' Become Your 'Never'

Martin Luther said, "How soon 'not now' becomes 'never'"

How true is this quote? For example, how many times do you think about doing a workout and you say 'not now' or you'll do it 'later' and then it 'never' happens?

This kind of 'not now' attitude can be paralyzing. We have the best of desires and intentions but due to our own either fears, laziness or mixed up priorities, we just never seem to get ahead and reach our goals.

Watch this video below where you'll find some questions to think about and 5 Steps to help you break free from your 'Not Now' attitude. If you have questions and/or would like to share your answers with me, send me an email at info@roslynfranken.com.

Roslyn's 2-minute Healthy Hints for a Stress Free Holiday Season

Roslyn's Healthy Hints for a Stress Free Holiday Season
 

It’s the start of December and the holiday season buzz is already starting.  Office parties are nearing, decorations will soon go up, and the flurry of holiday advertising on radio, television, newspapers and in flyers, malls and shops will soon be upon us. It is a magical time of year with all its festive tradition, however, with all the hustle and bustle it is also a season when many people find themselves overwhelmed, overstressed and overtired.  

On top of your regular daily responsibilities, you must now start thinking about gift buying, planning family gatherings, deciding on holiday dinner menus and getting your holiday baking done.  This all takes time and energy, which for most of us are two very precious commodities nowadays. 

If not managed properly, you could create the type of stress and anxiety that could easily lead to comfort eating and associated weight gain and depressive mindset.  With all the extra socializing, holiday treats and alcohol readily available, it can be even more difficult to eat properly especially if you’re overstressed and overtired. Let’s look at some key ways to minimize your stress levels for a healthy holiday season.
