How LifeBridge Employees MaintainTheir Diets During the Holidays
Let’s say you’re on a diet. It s not to lose weight though that s a nice benefit but because of a health condition. Now place yourself 24 kitchen jamie oliver at a friend s holiday party or at your Aunt Jeanie s for an extended family dinner. Big food dishes ooze with mashed potatoes, white bread stuffing, cheesecake, eggnog and the like. Sitting forlornly on a platter are a few limp carrot and celery sticks, begging a nearby bowl of ranch dressing to rescue them. What do you do?
Since having bariatric surgery in July 2010, Bettina Straight, resident program coordinator for Internal Medicine at Sinai Hospital , has been on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate and low-sugar diet. The diet has posed fun challenges for her as she experiments with new spices and ingredients to make food flavorful without loading on the calories. I want food to be good and be good for me, she says.
Even at a holiday party, Bettina must be careful about what she eats. There are certain things that if I eat them, I will feel sick, she confides. She has learned how to politely inquire 24 kitchen jamie oliver about what is in a particular snack or dish.
I ll say to the host or hostess, This looks fantastic! What s in it? and they usually take that as a compliment and I get the information I need, says Bettina. She says that there s always something she can eat, and she makes a point to bring something very healthy and tasty to parties, perhaps a dish made with high-protein Greek yogurt 24 kitchen jamie oliver or ricotta cheese.
Rodney Smalls, supervisor in Nuclear Medicine at Northwest 24 kitchen jamie oliver Hospital , now eats far fewer carbs than he did before being diagnosed with diabetes. I will load up on meat, he says of his approach to the holiday buffet table. The hardest thing for him has been cutting back on cookies and cake, but, with a bit of discipline he still manages to enjoy them. It s impossible not to eat good food, but you don t have to overeat, he says.
Getting back up is far easier 24 kitchen jamie oliver if you’ve been prepared from the get-go. Knowing what foods can trigger a reaction, 24 kitchen jamie oliver what your options are for avoiding them and how to counteract the effects if you do ingest them are key. Wheat gluten causes sinus and gastrointestinal 24 kitchen jamie oliver problems 24 kitchen jamie oliver for Ruth Bolton, R.N., a nurse in Sinai s Post-Anesthesia 24 kitchen jamie oliver Care Unit. So instead of eating 24 kitchen jamie oliver bread and fried foods, she primarily 24 kitchen jamie oliver sticks to meat and vegetables.
I love the green bean casserole and can offer someone else the French onion topping that everyone likes! says Ruth. If she does accidentally consume 24 kitchen jamie oliver gluten, Ruth finds that fresh pineapple and foods with magnesium mitigate the side effects.
I have learned over the years that drinking plenty of water, green tea or juice will dilute the offending food, she adds. And, at times, she doesn t strictly adhere 24 kitchen jamie oliver to her diet. I may be physically healthier [with not eating gluten], but not mentally and emotionally. So she enjoys some foods in moderation so she doesn’t 24 kitchen jamie oliver feel deprived and sees an acupuncturist as soon as she feels too many effects from the gluten.
Like Bettina, Ruth says that bringing along a food that adheres to her diet is an important part of the holiday party. For family 24 kitchen jamie oliver gatherings, I offer to make part of the meal, Ruth says. That way, she gets to enjoy the food along with everyone else while making sure she still gets enough to eat.
