 Question
"I am the cook at home, but I don't cook often because of work schedule. I
am trying to get tothe gym more often. My work schedule interferes with the gym.
What is the required amount of gym time needed to reach my goal? I do lift
weights when I goto the gym. I'm in the (removed) fit program which is a weight
lifting program for middle age adults like myself. I just learned about my
elevated cholesterol. Please help me with getting it lower. I don't want to take
medication. My doctor advised me to diet to lower it and to come back to her in
two months, I hope that you can help me. Thanks!!!"
Answer
Hi: Weight loss and eating the right foods will help with lowering cholesterol -
sometimes it's enough to avoid medication. Your diet plan (a
Personal Diet designed to her needs) does focus on avoiding saturated fats,
trans fats, and keeps the total fat content low in the diet which is a heart
healthy way of eating. You'll see that the types of animal foods you need to
choose are lean and the dairy products should be nonfat or very low fat. This
greatly reduces saturated fat which contributes to high LDL levels. But there
are other things about your diet that can help as well: eating a variety of
fresh fruits and vegetables for the antioxidants, eating seafood and fish for
the omega-3 fats which help reduce inflammatory response and make platelets less
sticky in the blood, as well as choosing high nutrition, high fiber
carbohydrates will also make a difference. Last, eating at the calorie level you
are given will cause the weight loss. Do these things and even if you have to
take medication, you'll be maximizing your diet so that perhaps you'll need less
medication if and when you have to take it. I hope this helps - of course it's a
big concern to have a health risk like this, but there is much you can
do so feel good about that!

Question
"I'm eating a vegetarian diet because both my
friend and doctor said this would be a good solution for my diet. I
can't seem to develop a balanced nutrition plan though - HELP!
Answer
A vegetarian or vegan diet can be a very healthy way to eat, but these diets
aren't any better for health unless they include a wide variety of high
nutrition foods! Carolyn Classick-Kohn, MS, RD

"Personal Dietitian's programs are based upon what has been shown to work the
best: healthy eating principles that people can apply for life, not just
for a quick fix. I want our clients to get the right information they need to
succeed the
first time. Too many people struggle with gimmick approaches that
don't help them make positive, realistic changes - and that's what has to be
done to keep in good weight control and to improve health. Our program is
designed to give clients a thorough, personal, and professional diet plan that
they would otherwise not have access to without several (costly) consultations
with a dietitian."
"There are many contributing factors to a successful and
effective online diet program. I attribute the success we are having to the
individual support clients receive and the fact that their plans are easy to
apply to their lives. Our primary objectives are to help others to lose weight
and/or improve their health through diets designed by professionals. Our focus
is on improving health through better information. Since dietitians'
qualifications, credentialing and professional experience prepares them better
than others in the area of nutrition, there is no better choice for consumers to
make than a registered dietitian. Scientific evidence indicates that the best
diet for most people is one that improves their lipid (cholesterol and blood
triglycerdies) profile, avoids harmful cancer-promoting substances, and limits
excess calories that lead to unhealthy weight gain and other chronic diseases.
Don't be fooled by fad diets and quick weight loss schemes! While these
diets are very appealing they are not based upon what works. Trust the
recognized diet and nutrition professionals your doctor recommends - registered
dietitians.
