Dieting
Written by Denise Reynolds RD
I have spent the better part of the last 10 years in various levels of depression. I have seen a few therapists and have been on several of the more popular brands of antidepressants. However, what I failed to do during most of that time was adequately care for my physical body in order to have a better coping of my mental troubles.

Our family eats only whole grain products. We grind all of grains fresh, as we need them. Many people find this to be odd, but have never considered why using whole grains is so beneficial to your health. When a product is not naturally found to be the color white, such as flour and sugar, much refining has gone into that product which results in many nutrient losses and many unhealthy gains for us.

Unfortunately, I have gained quite a reputation in my family for being consistent in only one thing – forgetting. I make a lot of attempts to stay organized, keep to-do lists, and set out reminders, but I just can’t seem to get past “mommy brain.” Being a dietitian, I decided to see if a positive change in diet could help.

A study from Shape Up Rhode Island and published in the May 2009 issue of Obesity Journal found that weight loss competitions produce a significant weight loss in large numbers of people at minimum cost.

In a study conducted at the McMaster University and reported in the journal Appetite, researchers found that women who dine with other women will not always choose food that are lower in calories. However, women will be more selective in choosing healthier foods when they eat with men. Although support from friends is important when trying to lose weight, many women feel compelled to mirror the habits of other women in an effort to fit in, even when it goes against their goals.

It is estimated that over 1/3 of North Americans are actively trying to lose weight at any given time. That is why the diet industry is thriving and so many books and DVDs are dedicated to the “best way“ to accomplish weight loss. People don’t know which way to turn or what diet to try anymore. Carbs, no carbs? High protein, vegetarian? Blood type? Grapefruits only? It is baffling and often dangerous to apply all the fad diets to what is actually simple math.
