TWO
TWO YEARS
TWO YEARS HERE IN NORTH TEXAS. WE WILL BE WATCHING ALL OF THAT
VERY CLOSE.
VERY CLOSE. >> AREN'T WE LUCKY?
>>> EATING HEALTHIER CAN BE
KIND OF HARD, BUT IT DOES NOT
HAVE TO BE.
YOU SAY SIMPLE CHANGES ARE
BEST.
BEST.
BEST. HOW
BEST. HOW CAN WE START WITH THOSE
SIMPLE CHANGES?
SIMPLE CHANGES? >> THE SIMPLER THEY ARE, THE
EASIER THEY ARE TO FOLLOW,
BECAUSE WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL.
WE SAY HEY, THIS IS GREAT.
I CAN DO THIS.
THE FIRST THING WE WANT TO DO
IS TO REDUCE OUR INTAKE OF
ADDED SUGAR. HERE IS WHY
EVERYONE IS MAKING SUCH A FUSS
ABOUT THIS.
ABOUT THIS. SUGAR RAISES BLOOD CLOSE --
BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS.
THE DAMAGE ARTERIES AND CREATE
INFLAMMATION.
INFLAMMATION. THEY CONTRIBUTE TO CHRONIC
DISEASES LIKE OBESITY AND
DIABETES.
DIABETES.
DIABETES. SIMPLE, INSTEAD OF HAVING A
FRUIT YOGURT AT BREAKFAST, HAVE
ONE WITH STRAWBERRIES.
>> IS THAT AN EXAMPLE?
>> YES, IT IS.
GREEK YOGURT HAS A LITTLE MORE
PROTEIN WHEN YOU BUY THE
UNSWEETENED. YOU CAN FLAVOR IT
UP WITH RASPBERRIES,
BLUEBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES, OR
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
YOU WANT TO AVOID HIDDEN
SUGARS.
SUGARS.
SUGARS. >> HOW DO YOU AVOID THAT?
>> I LOVE THIS CONCEPT.
REFINED CARBOHYDRATES LIKE
PRETZELS, BAGELS, WAFFLES, THEY
RAISE OUR BLOOD SUGAR RAPIDLY
AS WELL.
AS WELL.
AS WELL. SO, WE WANT TO REDUCE OUR
INTAKE, AND THEY TASTE GOOD.
>> THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
>> HERE IS THE TRICK.
WHEN YOU ARE SAVVY SOMETHING
LIKE HAMAS INSTEAD OF CHIPS,
HAVE FRESH VEGETABLES, BROCCOLI,
CAULIFLOWER, THOSE HIDDEN SUGARS
ARE WHAT YOUR BODY SEES, BUT
YOU DON'T. THERE ARE WAYS TO
AVOID IT.
AVOID IT.
AVOID IT. I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU ANOTHER
WAY.
WAY.
WAY. >>
WAY. >> YOU SAY CHECK THE LABELS.
>> HERE IS WHY.
THE NEW FOOD LABEL IS A BONUS.
THE FONT IS BIGGER, SO YOU CAN
SEE THINGS MORE EASILY.
IT ALSO HAS A SEPARATE LINE FOR
ADDED SUGAR.
ADDED SUGAR. HERE IS MY GUIDE TO YOU AND ALL
OF THE VIEWERS.
TRY TO AIM FOR FOODS THAT HAVE
5 GRAMS OR LESS OF ADDED SUGAR.
>> ADDED SUGAR?
>> CORRECT.
>> CORRECT. IT WILL BE FRUIT YOGURT THAT
CONTAINS SUGAR OR HONEY.
I AM GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO
WATCH FOR HIDDEN SUGAR.
LOOK AT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
CARBOHYDRATES ON THE LABEL.
SUBTRACT THE AMOUNT OF FIBER
THAT IS ON THE LABEL.
THAT GIVES YOU THE NET CARBS,
AND YOU WANT TO AIM FOR 15
GRAMS OR LESS.
>> 15 GRAMS OR LESS?
>> YES, 15 FOR THE NET CARBS.
PLAN YOUR MEALS AND SNACKS IN
ADVANCE.
ADVANCE.
ADVANCE. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DO THIS
FOR MEALS, BUT THEY DON'T DO
THIS FOR SNACKS.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHY IT IS
IMPORTANT TO PLAN?
WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THESE FOODS
AVAILABLE, WE CAN EAT ANYTHING
NOT NAILED DOWN.
HARD COOKED EGGS, WALNUTS,
FRUIT, LOVE THESE PORTABLE
SNACK PACKS OF SALMON, TUNA,
AND CHICKEN SALAD.
HAVE YOUR GUACAMOLE, BUT SERVE
IT WITH VEGETABLES.
IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF
PLANNING.
