Read More »In our most recent blog we discussed that successful long term weight loss is a lifelong commitment and requires permanent lifestyle changes. The ultimate key to safe and sustained weight loss is to adopt healthy eating habits that can be maintained for life. Healthy eating isn’t just about ‘eating greens’ and cutting out the late night pizza – it’s about ensuring your body gets good nutrition to maintain your health for you to feel good and have energy. There are 10 golden rules that Dr. Faruq Badiuddin has put together to ensure his patients on any weight loss program reach their target weight and maintain the healthy weight long term. During the last blog we emphasized the importance of following a structured eating plan. In this blog we will focus on the second golden rule. Have the right composition and proportion at each meal to support weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. When it comes to weight loss, temporary deprivation is never the solution; balanced meals are. Optimal weight loss results come from carefully planning the composition of nutrient intake so that the body gets all the essential nutrients without ‘rocking’ the energy balance scale. Our bodies need energy (calories) to function and we get our energy from food. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are the main energy components of food. Protein by far is the most important macronutrient of the three energy sources. Fiber is important to maintain gastro-intestinal health and vitamins and mineral in the right dose are essential for our bodies to work properly. Therefore a healthy lifestyle needs to include the right portion of macronutrients along with micronutrients.

Read More »The last thing our forks (or fingers) should pick up should be carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, particularly refined carbohydrates should be absolutely limited at each meal. In fact, Dr. Faruq Badiuddin always tells his patients; make the carbohydrate component of your meal the last thing you eat. Often we can become well-satiated from the protein and vegetables and we can do without the bread, rice and pasta. This is particularly important for those looking to shed off those extra pounds. Refined carbohydrates are pure energy foods that our bodies end up storing in the form of fat (if we don’t burn it off). Thus the foods that should be kept to a minimum or eliminated from our daily meals- should be bread, rice, pasta and any foods containing potatoes. That’s why those on weight loss programs are often advised by physicians to limit or in some cases exclude carbohydrates from their meals.
