LIFEstyle mini program

Hi all,

As promised, here is a quick synopsis of what we talked about last week...We talked about WHY we eat (it's all about DOPAMINE!) and WHAT to eat (can you say Canadian Food Guide?)...

In that, we found out that FIBRE is the friend and FAT is the foe...In other words, a diet which is rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables will help you achieve your goals.

We started to discuss how environment plays a vital role with eating behavior. Dr. Brian Wansink's book "Mindless Eating" is a wonderful resource to help with positive change.

Next week we will be discussing HOW to eat and HOW to exercise for longterm success.

Take care,
Dr.P
