Many have asked how our last STRIVE 2 Survive sessions have went so I thought I’d briefly discuss it here. We have been very successful thus are and look forward to our next spring session starting Tuesday, April 5th!
We have had individuals lose anywhere from 2-25lbs, drop up to 4 inches in their waist, drop their triglycerides by 200 points and drop their cholesterol and blood sugars drastically! Since everyone’s goals are little different, the results vary per individual.
We are striving to help each and everyone of you live a healthier lifestyle and make positive impacts in your health. These results are consistent with our own goals for the program as we are not aiming to see drastic weight loss fast as that would be called a ‘fad diet’ and we are not that! If you are considering our program, don’t hesitate to contact us via email or phone to learn more. We also want to congratulate all of our participants on a job well done as we continue to STRIVE 2 Survive!

One of my favorite foods on the grill is kabobs. It’s a great way to get lean meat and vegetables in one meal through a healthy cooking method….and it’s even easy to make! You can choose lean chicken, pork, steak or shrimp and add some vegetables such as sweet potatoes, zuchini, peppers, onions, or tomatoes. To complete your meal you could add a side of wild or brown rice. I am looking forward to enjoying this meal when the weather warms up again!

Well it’s kind of hard to talk about grilling in the middle of this March blizzard, but I thought we can discuss it now so you can start preparing your refridgerator with tasty grill foods! Beef is a real common meal in my house as my husband and his family raise cattle. Red meat has somewhat gotten a bad rap with being linked to increased heart disease risk, however there are still very lean and nutritious selections of red meat that can fit into a part of a healthy diet.
Saturated fat is the type of fat that is naturally found in beef, thus we want to encourage you to choose lean selections to limit the amount of unhealthy fat you consume. Next time you’re shopping for beef, choose greater than 90% lean hamburger and look for key words such as “loin” and “round” as these are indicators you are getting a lean selection. For example, the sirloin steak is leaner than a t-bone steak. In addition, you may consider buying locally from a farmer/rancher to ensure you are getting quality meat. If you are looking for good recipes, I encourage you to check out the Beef Industry’s website at www.beefnutrition.org.

This last weekend marked the official start of spring and to celebrate I decided to pull out the grill to start enjoying some of my favorite foods! Little did I know that winter wasn’t done as we are now in a winter storm warning! In future posts we are going to explore some great food choices on the grill and hope that our warm weather will come back. Grilling is one of the best cooking methods for us. When we think of grilling, we often think of hot dogs, brats, burgers, steak, etc. Besides these popular meat choices, there are other foods such as sweet potatoes and vegetables that taste great on the grill. In addition, it’s important to cook your foods at the proper temperatures to avoid food borne illness. Stay tuned to future posts as we discuss food choices and proper cooking temperatures.
