EAT WELL AND STUFF By SONYA KUPKA You don’t need to diet to eat well, says Skeena Health Unit nutrifionist Sonya Kupka. in this, the last in a series of col- umns recognizing March as. nutrition month. Beginning. next month, there'll be a regular series about various aspects of health in the northwest, Healthy eating habits involve choosing a variety of foods ac- cording to Canada’s Food Guide, picking foods lower in fat, using high fibre foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes and trying alter- natives to meat. These habits will help you control your weight and they are important but they are also habits many dieters ignore, Dieters also tend to miss out on one other vital aid to weight control — eating regular meals, This means three meals 2 day and maybe one or two wise snacks. Most dieters commonly skip | breakfast. Their usual arguments are ‘‘once I start eating I can’t stop” or “‘it starts my dieting day off right — calories not eaten can’t land on my hips,’”’ Right? Wrong. Many studies ‘show that skip- ping breakfast may not only. decrease your ability to perform well at school, work or home, but it may also temporarily lower your metabolism and create strong urges to binge on high calorie foods, The change in metabolism may make you conserve more calories as fat in your body than your neighbour who ate a healthy breakfast. This is why you may be able to eat more to weigh less. The urge to binge on high calorie foods can destroy you motivation to keep yourself on the health track, while at the same time adding another spare tire. - This urge might be caused by , a lack of energy going to your brain, or by alterations to your blood chemistry during times of starvation, It isn’t really a lapse in will power, it’s a strong sur- vival instinct. Eating breakfast puts you well on your way to getting all the nutrients you need every day. Miss it, and it’s hard to make up for it. Breakfast will also help you avoid those late night munchies. Many nutri- tionists think it’s best to eat most of our food during the day, rather than late afternoon and evening. It’s time to say “‘no”’ to diets and ‘‘yes’’ to breakfast.
