April Nutritional Tip of the Month

Why is it important to separate liquids from solids?

1. You do not want to over expend the pouch.
2. You do not want to rapidly wash the food out of the pouch.

Liquids will pass through the upper stomach pouch quickly and will not make you feel full. Drinking liquids during or immediately after meals tends to flush food through the pouch, and you will not get the prolonged feeling of satiety needed to help you eat less.

April Fitness Tip of the Month

Inactive vs Active:

How are those “Active Choice New Years Resolutions” doing?
Well done, if you are still making active choices!

TIP: Shopping on line for an hour uses 125 KJs of energy. Walking around the shops for an hour uses 600 – 1000 KJs of energy.

I hope that you have all been taking advantage of the recent good weather. I know it’s frustrating that it doesn’t last, but make the most of those warmer days. Daylight saving also gives us more light when we get back home from work in the evenings. So, get out there and take the dog, kids, husband or “yourself” for a walk!

Have an active month!
