THAT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT
SHOW.
OUR GREAT STATES END OF
SUMMER FAVORITE TRADITION IS
HERE.
FOR MOST OF US, IT IS THE FOOD,
AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO KEEP HER
DIET WHILE STILL ENJOYING ALL
THAT THE FAIR HAS TWO OFFER.
WE HAVE RACHEL FROM MED FAST.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING IN.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
MAYBE YOU ARE CRUSHING IT
AND YOU FALL OFF THE WAGON.
THERE ARE OPTIONS OUT THERE?
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS TO
ENJOY AT THE FAIR.
THE EXHIBITS, THE GRAND SCAN,
-- THE GRAND STAND, THE FOOD.
IF YOU DO INDULGE, WE WANT TO
TEACH YOU HOW TO GET RIGHT BACK
ON TRACK.
THERE ARE FOODS THAT YOU SAY
ARE OKAY FOR YOUR DIET.
ABROAD A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES.
THE ROASTED PORK CHOP ON A STICK
, CORN.
IT IS BETTER NOT TO HAVE IT,
BUT YOU DID NOT LOSE THE WEIGHT
IN ONE DAY AND IT IS NOT GOING
TO LOSE IT IN ONE DAY.
KEBABS, I RECOMMEND TO HAVE
BREAKFAST BEFORE YOU GO THAT
WILL HELP YOU WITH LESS
IMPULSIVE DECISIONS THROUGHOUT
THE DAY TOO.
IF YOU DO DECIDE TO SPLURGE,
YOU GO WHEN YOU HAVE TO GET THE
CHEESE KURDS EVERY YEAR.
IT WILL NOT COMPLETELY DERAIL
YOUR PLANS?
I THINK SHARING IT WITH
SOMEONE WILL HELP.
THAT HELPS WITH LESS CALORIE
INTAKE, AND YOU'RE WALKING A
LOT AT THE FAIR.
TAKE AN EXTRA LAUGH AND MAKE IT
WORTHWHILE AND BURN SOME EXTRA
CALORIES.
I UNDERSTAND THAT META-FAST
IS MAKING IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO
HELP FIND THESE FOODS AT THE
FAIR.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET
DISTRACTED BY A PRONTO PUP NOT
SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.
YOU HAVE MADE IT VERY EASY
TO FIND FOODS?
YES.
AT META-FAST.COM, WE HAVE AN
INTERACTIVE MAP THAT YOU CAN GO
TO YOU CAN FIND ALL THE GOOD
FOOD CHOICES THAT WILL HELP YOU
STAY ON YOUR PLAN.
LASTLY, ANY LAST-MINUTE
TIPS FOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE
HEADING OUT THIS WEEK TO THE
FAIR?
YES.
I THINK GO IN WITH A PLAN.
PLAN YOUR WEEK AROUND IT.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO ON
FRIDAY, BE BUILT -- BE DILIGENT
ON YOUR PLAN AND EXERCISE
ROUTINE.
THAT WAY YOU WILL FEEL GOOD
GOING INTO THE FAIR.
WILL LINK THAT INTERACTIVE
MAP ON OUR WEBSITE.
WE ARE KEEPING IT EASY FOR YOU.
IF YOU DO SPLURGE, DON'T BE TOO
HARD ON YOURSELF.
IT IS MINNESOTA STATE FAIR AND
IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR.
RACHEL, THANK YOU FOR BEING
WITH US.
WE WILL CHECK BACK WITH YOU AT
THE 6:00 HOUR FOR MORE TIPS.
YOU ARE GOING TO THE FAIR
TODAY?
IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPLURGE
--
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
I WOULD RECOMMEND GOING TO
THE INTERNATIONAL BAZAAR.
HOT FOODS.
MAKE YOU SWEAT?
McKAY WAS A TO GET SOMETHING
CALLED THE S'MORES.
IT IS A SOMOZA SHELL WITH THICK
A GORGEOUS SHOT.
YOU CAN SEE CLOUDS HANGING
AROUND, BUT THOSE SHOULD CLEAR
OUT.
IF YOU PLAN ON GOING TO THE
STATE FAIR, THAT IS OUR
FAVORITE END OF SUMMER
TRADITION.
PEOPLE ARE WATCHING BABY
ANIMALS, BUT LET'S BE HONEST.
MOST OF US GO FOR THE FOOD.
WE HAVE RACHEL FROM META-FAST
TO TELL US THAT WE CAN INDULGE
IN THE FOOD AND STILL KEEP TO
OUR DIETS.
YOU SURE CAN.
THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
YOU BROUGHT SOME EXAMPLES IF
YOU WANT TO GO TO THE FAIR BUT
DON'T WANT TO OVER ENJOY --
OVERINDULGE. THE PORK CHOP ON
A STICK, THE ROASTED CORN,
THOSE ARE WAYS THAT YOU CAN
STICK YOUR GAME PLAN.
THERE ARE SOME NEW FOOD
ITEMS THAT YOU ARE A FAN OF.
CRANBERRY WILD RICE MEATBALL.
YOU SAY THAT THOSE MAY NOT BE A
BAD IDEA. IT IS HIGH-PROTEIN
AND -- IT IS HIGH-PROTEIN.
AND PORK BELLY IS ALSO A
GOOD IDEA.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPLURGE,
THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA -- A
GOOD OPTION?
IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO JUST
SHARE.
YOU CAN INDULGE BUT NOT HAVE
THE GUILT.
SO HAVE A BITE AND PASS IT
TO YOUR FRIEND?
YES.
AND SPICY THAI NOODLES ARE ALSO
A NEW OPTION THAT YOU
RECOMMEND?
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING,
AGAIN, THAT FOR PORTION
CONTROL, YOU WOULD WANT TO
SHARE THAT WAS SOMEONE.
AND I THINK IT IS COOL WHAT
META-FAST IS DOING TO STAY ON
TRACK.
THE FAIR IS HUGE AND WE CAN ALL
BE DISTRACTED BY THE CHEESE
KURDS. YOU GUYS MADE A GAME
PLAN FOR PEOPLE?
WE HAVE AN AWESOME
INTERACTIVE MAP ON OUR WEBSITE.
YOU CAN CHOOSE WHEREVER THAT
YOU WANT TO GO, THERE WILL BE
HEALTHY OPTIONS FOR YOU TO
CHOOSE FROM.
HOW IS -- HOW IMPORTANT IS
IT TO THINK AHEAD AND HAVE A
PLAN FOR -- TO EVEN GET THROUGH
THE GATES?
THAT IS FOREMOST THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART.
PLAN YOUR MEALS AROUND IT.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER WHILE YOU
ARE THERE AND DO NOT BEAT
YOURSELF UP.
IF YOU INDULGE A LITTLE BIT, DO
NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP.
YOU DID NOT LOSE THE WEIGHT AND
ONE DAY AND IT IS NOT GOING TO
COME BACK AND ONE DAY.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE LOGICAL
CHOICES AND STAY AWAY FROM
IMPULSE DECISION -- DECISIONS.
SO OFTEN IF YOU FALL OFF OF
THE WAGON, IT COULD HAMPER WITH
YOUR SELF-ESTEEM AND IT MIGHT
BE HARD TO GET THAT MOTIVATION
TO KEEP GOING.
IT IS OKAY TO SPLURGE.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GAIN ALL
OF THE WEIGHT BACK IN A DAY.
WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A
LIFESTYLE CHANGE AND THAT IS
WHAT WE WANT TO HELP YOU WITH.
IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT ALL OR
NOTHING IN ONE DAY. GET
INFORMATION.
RACHEL, THANK YOU.
WE DO HAVE THAT LINK TO THE
META-FAST PLAN.

HEALTHY FOODS AT THE FAIR.
