Just spent a fun-filled (and exhausting) four days with my grandsons, ages 2 and 4. I love watching them eat. The oldest is a "picky" eater, inspects his food, and asks if it has vegetables in it before he will try it. Even without vegetables odds are he won't try it. The youngest, will just take a food and give it a try. Even with two different approaches to eating, they have one thing in common. They don't overeat. When they have had enough they simply stop eating no matter what or how much food is left on the…

McDonald’s….Canadian Style
Americans are well-known for their super-sized fast food meals. Value meals and the dollar menus draw people to the restaurants not only because they are cheap, but the convenience of drive-thru has made these meals a staple for some folks. It's no mystery to me why people eat there. All you have to do is push a button to lower the window, hand over a few bucks, and within several minutes you get a meal that requires no prep or clean up.
Recently at a Vancouver bariatric support group I heard it mentioned that McDonald's features a "Canadian…
Yes I ate a marshmallow…
After weight loss surgery we are all taught to keep sugar to a minimum and desserts are almost out of the question. I understand the reasons behind why desserts are to be kept to a minimum. First, we don’t have much room in our pouch so we want to only put good nutritious foods in. Second, depending on which weight loss surgery you had, dumping can happen which cause you not to feel well. Lastly, dessert and high sugar foods is one of the reason why some, if not most of us had a problem with weight gain. So…
Breakfast foods are easy and quick
You know the old saying: “Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch and a pauper at dinner.” The maxim is one to live by. Eating hearty at the start of the day provides fuel for the rest of your waking hours, and can actually kick start your metabolism into high gear. What’s more, studies have proven that those who eat breakfast are less likely to overindulge on empty calories later in the day, and that kids who eat breakfast have better concentration. In the latest episode of Eating Right Every Bite, Chef Dave demonstrates a couple…
An American Eating in Canada
Well, I moved to Vancouver, British Columbia (BC) in September of last year. It may be only 30 miles over the border, but it is another country. Being a dietitian, I am fascinated by the differences in eating behaviors and lifestyles compared to the US.
Let me give you a little background. By now most everyone knows that Americans have the highest obesity rate in the world with 30.6% of the population having a BMI greater than 30. Canada ranks 11th with a rate of 14.3%. That is a big difference. BC has lowest obesity rate of all…
