BOLLYFIT Newsletter, Nov 2010 - Top 8 Nutrition Mistakes that Active People Make and 5 Useful Fitness Tips!

Dear BOLLYFIT Members,
Welcome to the November edition of the BOLLYFIT newsletter, wherein you will find some useful tips on ‘correct eating’ and to get great results from your fitness regime.
Those of us who work out may still need help with our diets, as many of us have been known to make any of the following mistakes?
1. Jumping on new starvation diets leading to weakness

2. Not staying hydrated

3. Believing that exercise means you can eat whatever you want.

4. Trusting the claims on supplement labels. Since dietary supplements are not regulated, you should avoid taking anything that you have not discussed with a physician or registered dietitian.

5. Eating too much protein and too few carbohydrates—don’t forget that carbohydrates fuel exercise!

6. Replacing meals with energy bars and drinks, which cannot offer all the benefits of whole foods.

7. Waiting too long after exercise to eat—be sure to have a snack within two hours of working out.

8. And the number one mistake that active people are likely to make is… Skipping breakfast—it starts your metabolism off on the wrong foot and is likely to leave you hungrier later, and in a position where you’re more likely to make bad food choices.
Variety and moderation is the key to healthy eating. Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophy, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about having more energy, keeping yourself healthy and hearty – all these can be achieved by following these simple tips:
· Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. Your daily food selection should include bread and other whole-grain products; fruits; vegetables; dairy products; and meat, poultry, fish and other protein foods.
· Eat moderate portions. If you keep portion sizes reasonable, it's easier to eat the foods you want and stay healthy.
· Eat regular meals. Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating. Also, when you're very hungry, it's also tempting to forget about good nutrition. Snacking between meals can help curb hunger, but don't eat so much that your snack becomes an entire meal.
· Reduce, don't eliminate certain foods. Most people eat for pleasure as well as nutrition. If your favorite foods are high in fat, salt or sugar, the key is moderating how much of these foods you eat and how often you eat them. Choose skim or low-fat dairy products and white meats like Chicken and Fish.
You’ve certainly heard of the Food Pyramid…but did you know that there is also an Activity Pyramid? Here’s how it shapes up, from bottom to top:
Every day: Find extra ways to be active—take the stairs instead of the elevator, park further away, walk the dog, play with your kids, hide the remote control, etc.
Three to five times per week: Accumulate a total of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise—walking, jogging, biking, etc.
Two to three times per week: Light leisure activities such as golf, bowling, gardening, etc.
Two to three times per week: Strength and flexibility training activities such as weightlifting, yoga, Pilates, etc.
Cut down on: Sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time—watching TV, surfing the Internet, etc.
Bear in mind that the Activity Pyramid is designed to promote general health, and not weight loss. However, it is a great guideline for adding more activity to your lifestyle and limiting your sedentary activities.
