Let Zone Delivery Feed You: Jump on the Michelle Obama Bandwagon of Healthy Eating
Two-thirds of Americans are overweight and almost one-third of Americans are obese. With these statistics, it is clear why Michelle Obama has made it a priority on her agenda to clean up the way American families eat, and to remind our country that it’s never too late to take charge of your life and regain your health.
We’ve compiled some tips from Nutritionist John Erickson of Zone Delivery USA, on how to follow in Mrs. Obama’s footsteps. Not only will you be healthy, but you’ll have a rockin’ bod like the first lady!
- Use your hand to determine portion control
Size of hand: Carbohydrates, very little starches
Size of palm: Protein including chicken, fish, beef, turkey, egg whites, low fat cheeses, tofu, etc.
Size of thumb: Fats and oils, nuts, avocado and olives
- Drinking a large glass of water before eating a meal will slow you down and help reduce calorie intake.
- Select a portion of food before eating instead of snacking directly from the food source, i.e. eating from a container.
- Physical activity is the best way to burn calories. Take small steps to getting active, like forgoing the elevator to opt for the stairs.
- When eating out at restaurants, don’t clean your plate. Most restaurants serve portions far beyond a healthy serving.
- You don’t have to deprive yourself. Even Mrs. Obama has admitted that some of her favorite foods include macaroni and cheese and French fries. It’s all about portion control and balance.
