Sound familiar? Many people are misinformed and tricked by food packaging into thinking they're eating healthy when they're really not. Or you seem to be eating small amounts but are seeing no changes. Here are 5 common mistakes people make that could be hurting <i>your</i> body, too.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <b>Skipping breakfast.</b> We've heard it time and time again, but its the most important meal of the day! People who skipped breakfast were more likely to take up smoking, drinking, less likely to exercise and more likely to follow fat diets. People who <i>do </i>eat breakfast were about 30% less likely to be overweight or obese.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://watchmojo.com/blogs/images/breakfast2-berries.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://watchmojo.com/blogs/images/breakfast2-berries.jpg" width="143" /></a></div><br />
2. <b>Mindless eating.</b> Snacking is meant to maintain your blood sugar and keep you energized between meals, but if you're snacking when you don't really need it (on the couch watching Glee, anyone?) you could be sabotaging all your healthy eating habits.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Huge portions.</b> Portion sizes have tripled in the past 40 years, and so have our waistlines. Its not secret that restaurant size portions are about 2-3 times more than you should be eating at a meal, causing us to see large amounts of food as standard, thus eating more at home, too. In a restaurant, eat until you feel <i>satisfied</i>, not full and take the rest for leftovers. Other ways to eat less: have salad before a meal, snack on almonds throughout the day, and make sure you're getting enough fibre.<br />
<br />
4. <b>Calorie-laden drinks.</b> Not only alcohol can do damage to your diet, but smoothies, soft drinks, coffee and juice can be dangerous, too. A grande caramel macchiato at Starbucks carries 240 calories, and an eggnog latte sits at <b>470</b>,<b> </b>compared to a cup of brewed coffee which has 5 calories. When thats just your morning java to get you going, that is waaay too many calories, not to mention sugar and fat. (Simple ways to cut these in half? Ask for skim milk instead of the standard 2%, go half-sweet on the syrup, skip the whipped cream, or try their "skinny" options which include all 3 of these.) Beware of the nutritional information on your drink of choice before gulping it down, as even some juices are loaded with sugar.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://assets.starbucks.com/assets/934cf5f2ff2f495db5278dbd9aeaf60f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://assets.starbucks.com/assets/934cf5f2ff2f495db5278dbd9aeaf60f.jpg" width="167" /></a></div><br />
5. <b>Processed, saturated & preservative packed foods.</b> Packaged foods are loaded with preservatives and harsh chemicals to keep them fresh. Try to steer clear of these foods as much as possible, and load up on natural foods like fruits, veggies and whole grain carbohydrates. As a general rule of thumb: the shorter the ingredients list, the healthier the food.Fashion + food loverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05501442815825161242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247282412532441216.post-63766007775073592572011-05-15T14:35:00.000-07:002011-05-15T14:35:02.032-07:00Sunday pancakesSunday being the day of rest and whatnot, people often like to have a nice big brunch on Sundays to relax with away from the stresses of the workweek. Today I felt like doing something different from my regular breakfast routine and decided to have pancakes.<br />
<br />
Using a whole wheat pancake mix, I made health-conscious chocolate chip pancakes! Substituting chocolate chips for some leftover carob chips I had from making cookies, the result was quite delicious. Topping the pancakes with bananas proved to be a truly yummy breakfast! And if need be, pure maple is a healthy way to sweeten them up.<br />

The gorgeous and sexy Eva Longoria has been busy doing a press tour for her new cookbook this month! In it, she shares some of her family recipes as well as her own very popular ones. It includes spicy Mexican but also classic American and some European flavours. Some of the recipes include guacamole, red velvet cake, and her famous tortilla soup. "The cookbook is a memoir of my life told through food" says Eva.<br />

Here are some tips from Women's Health magazine that have worked great for myself, to get a better night's sleep - more often.<div><br />
</div><div><ul><li><b>Don't stress about it.</b> Accept that some nights you'll sleep better than others. Stressing about it will only keep you up later</li>
</ul></div><div><ul><li><b>Take a bath. </b>Not only will a hot bath relax you for bed, but as your body temperature drops afterwards, you should fall into a restful sleep.</li>
</ul></div><div><ul><li><b>Make some noise.</b> Sounds known as white noise (like a fan or sound machine) can make it easier to sleep at night, especially if you sleep with a snorer. But putting your iPod on is not a good idea</li>
</ul></div><div><ul><li><b>Keep it cool. </b>A colder bedroom will cause your body to function at calmer, more restful speeds. So keep the temperature low and add a few blankets if you need them.</li>
</ul></div><div><ul><li><b>No drinking or smoking! </b>Alcohol and nicotine are stimulants that can not only make it difficult to <i>fall</i> asleep, but wake you up during the night as well.</li>
</ul></div><div><ul><li><b>Pillows are important. </b>Make sure your pillows are supportive, comfortable and suited to your sleeping positions. Find the best pillow for your sleep style <a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/best-pillows">here</a></li>
</ul></div><div><ul><li><b>Cut the coffee!</b> For some its noon, others is 7pm, but after a certain time you need to cut caffeine (that includes coffee, pop, chocolate, tea, etc) to be able to sleep well. Its different for everyone, so you need to figure out which time is your cut off.</li>
</ul></div><div><ul><li><b>Don't try to compensate. </b>You can't make up for lost sleep by napping, going to bed super early or sleeping really late. You just need to get back on your regular schedule.</li>
</ul></div><div><br />

Here are some of the best fruits for staying slim.<br />
<br />
<b>Bananas</b><br />
Sometimes being wrongly accused of being fattening, bananas are actually great for you. They contain resistant starch (if you're unfamiliar with resistant starch, refer to this <a href="http://eatyourwaytofashionable.blogspot.com/2011/01/lose-weight-by-eating-carbs.html">post</a>) so you'll stay fuller longer and burn more fat! Try to eat them when they're just ripening with a little green left.<br />
<br />
<b>Raspberries</b><br />
Fibre is an essential nutrient to keep you full and prevent you from overeating, and one cup of raspberries has more fibre than 4 slices of whole wheat bread! (Blueberries have even more). So load up on those tasty little berries!<br />
<br />
<b>Grapefruit</b><br />
Grapefruits are low in sugar and high in fibre, making them very nutritious, filling and low calorie. Research has even shown they improve insulin resistance, another way to keep you from overeating.<br />
<br />
<b>Apples</b><br />
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. The benefits of apples have always been ingrained in our brains, but now we know they'll also keep up slim. The fibre in apples will keep you full and slow your digestion, making you less likely to reach for snacks, especially sugary ones. Research has shown that inhaling the smell of green apples when you have a food craving actually tricks your body into thinking you've already eaten, killing the craving! Also, the skin packs a lot of nutrients including fibre, so keep it on!<br />

If anyone can make running shoes look sexy, its Eva. The Easytone has been getting rave reviews for its actual toning ability, unlike its competitor, Skechers Shape Ups (which also don't come close in the looks department).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am so happy to hear that these shoes actually work and aren't just a marketing ploy. They are getting great reviews from industry publications as well as customer feedback online.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">So not only do they do double duty when it comes to working out, they are actually really nice looking shoes! You can even customize your own pair <a href="http://www.reebok.com/US/custom-shoes/womens/listing">online</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">I can't <i>wait</i> to get some!</div><br />

I like Bran Flakes or Nature's Path Flax Plus cereals like Pumpkin Raisin Crunch. Then I put anything from strawberries & blueberries to apples, grapes & bananas in it! I also add ground flaxseed for omega-3s and some almond milk. Its filling, tasty & a healthy way to start the day. So good!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

You're not alone. Millions of people suffer from headaches every day, and popping Advil all the time is not the answer. Dr. Stephen Silberstein, professor of neurology at Thomas Jefferson University shares 5 ideas of what could be causing your pain.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.goodeveningworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/headache1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.goodeveningworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/headache1.gif" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<b>1. Your desk/living space</b>. Messy desks if you're a neat freak or too-tidy ones if you're naturally messy can both cause an anxiety headache.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Dehydration</b>. Yes, we've heard it a million times, but not getting enough water is the most common reason for headaches, as it increases acidity which fires up the brain pain centres.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Stripes</b>. Odd as it sounds, the lines can actually aggravate the brain and send signals to the pain centre, especially in migraine sufferers.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Sleeping in on weekends</b>. Constant changes to your routine have been found to cause headaches so its best to try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. It could also be caffeine withdrawals from not having your coffee fix at the regular time.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Posture</b>. Bad posture in general, as well as hunching over a desk or computer screen can cause neck pain and tension headaches (especially in yours truly).<br />
