Yes, You Can Eat Foods You Enjoy to Achieve Your Healthiest You!

As professional nutritionists who counseled clients before founding Zing Bars, we often were asked:
  • โ€œWhat is my ideal weight?โ€
  • โ€œHow can I lose ten pounds before my daughterโ€™s wedding?โ€
  • โ€œWhat should I eat to lose weight - can I ever have any foods that I enjoy?โ€

As professional nutritionists, weโ€™re here to say that yes, achieving a healthy weight is important for your health and vitality. But sometimes counting calories or fad dieting can take us to an unhealthy place โ€“ one where weโ€™re too focused on numbers or quick results and not tuned in to how we truly feel. Everyoneโ€™s ideal weight is different and is dependent upon height, age, gender, genetics and more. Consult with a registered dietitian nutritionist to learn what is healthiest for you and map out a plan together to achieve your goal. And yes, of course you can eat foods that you enjoy!

Healthy Weight Week takes place January 15th - 21st, 2017. Weโ€™re highlighting Healthy Weight Week to bring attention to what many of you are focused on this January โ€“ your health and wellness. Eating healthy may not be rocket science, but sometimes itโ€™s tough to choose the healthy options over processed or refined alternatives. The more often weโ€™re selecting healthy carbs, quality protein and healthy fats, and in quantities that are appropriate for our needs, the more likely weโ€™re able to achieve or maintain a healthy weight. Fiber is a key component in weight control as well, helping the brain recognize when youโ€™re full. You tend to eat less when you have high-fiber meals and snacks (like Zing Bars!)

You might be interested in trying a program that focuses on good nutrition. One of our Zing Nutrition Grant winners, Rebecca Bitzer, MS, RD/LD, CEDRD, and her team of REBEL Dietitians invites you to sign up for their REBEL challenge, where you learn to enjoy the food you love; make simple, healthy foods; and get back on track and focused on your health after the hectic holiday season.

Rebecca shares, โ€œThe REBEL challenge lets you rebel against dieting, perfection and restrictions. This is not a diet, but a great way to enjoy food, meet nutrition goals, and feel better about ourselves without the typical New Yearโ€™s resolutions, which are oftentimes difficult to keep.โ€

We agree, Rebecca! Participants are eligible to win Zing Bars throughout the month of January. You can sign up for the month-long REBEL program here.

Cheers to a healthy, happy you this 2017 โ€“ and in all the years to come!
