Greetings LIFEstylers,
It was nice to meet you all!
As promised, we have developed a blog to help with your journey of becoming fitter, healthier and curvier/slimmer (pick any ___er!)...
We will give a brief overview of what we discussed in class as well as review your homework for the week ahead.
The program is to be FUN and not fear-based...
This week we discussed WHY we eat (besides for survival)…some other reasons included pleasure, stress, social, boredom, low mood, environment, our family...
We learned about DOPAMINE, the little neurotransmitter which causes all sorts of "good" things...How it is involved with eating and procreating...How it can be misused and overused in addictions.
Homework for week 1 was:
1) fill out GREEN medical history form
2) do your baseline measurements (waist, height and weight) and put them on the GREEN form
3) 2 day food log
4) leave something on your plate or glass once a day
Have a wonderful week.
Next week, we will discuss WHAT to eat...
Take care,
Dr.P
P.S. On HOW to eat, Dr. Brian Wansink's book, "Mindless Eating," is a wonderful resource.
