ASK YOURSELF, “AM I HUNGRY?”

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Pause for a moment and consider the answer to this question. If you’re truly hungry, eat! Your goal is to stop eating when you aren’t hungry. It’s also common to mistake hunger for thirst, so if you find that you’re not actually hungry, consider getting a glass of water or cup of tea and putting off your meal for a bit. Alternately, it may help to do something to distract yourself for a few minutes instead of eating, like taking […]

SAINT ANTHONY’S BREAD

By: | Tags:

St. Anthony was so moved by poverty that he once distributed to the poor all the bread of the convent in which he lived. Bread can be part of a healthful diet, if we know how to choose it. Give preference to bread made of less refined flours, dark or whole bread, watch for the fibres and say yes to the seeds! What makes you fat is not bread, but butter, the delicatessen, the cheeses, the jams that we apply on bread, and when we eat it with other starchy […]

FOCUS ON YOUR MEAL

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: As you eat, avoid using your phone or computer, don’t read books or magazines, and keep the TV off. Whether it’s working through lunch at a desk or noshing on chips while watching Netflix, distracted eating is common. But while it might seem harmless, it may encourage you to overeat. A review of 24 studies found that distractions led people to consume more calories during a meal. It also caused them to eat more food later in the day. Call our International […]

A HEALTHY BREAKFAST FOR LOSING WEIGHT

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: When you’re trying to lose weight, breakfast can set the tone for the rest of your day. Consuming the wrong foods can amplify your cravings and set you up for failure before the day even begins. On the other hand, filling up on the right foods can curb cravings and keep you feeling full until lunchtime to minimize snacking and ease weight loss. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and consult one of our nutritionists.

PROCESSED AND ULTRA-PROCESSED DIETS

By: | Tags:

Not all processed foods are bad. Some minimally processed foods can be helpful for busy people. Any time we cook food, we’re processing food. To minimize your intake of processed food, prepare and cook more food at home. Base your meals on whole foods, including vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Processed foods may be more convenient and cost less, but make you eat more and gain weight. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and schedule your Nutritional Consultation and get your customised Alimentary Plan to control […]

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES CAUSES CRAVINGS?

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Cravings are defined as intense, urgent or abnormal desires or longings. Not only are they very common, but they’re also arguably one of the most intense feelings you can experience when it comes to food. Some believe that cravings are caused by nutrient deficiencies and view them as the body’s way to correct them. Yet others insist that, unlike hunger, cravings are largely about what your brain wants, rather than what your body actually needs. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 […]

USING A SCALE IS HELPFUL DURING VACATION

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: The start of summer is here, and vacation plans await. Researchers from the University of Georgia reveal that people who weigh themselves daily during times when they may be more likely to indulge — “staycation” or vacations, for example — will more successfully maintain their weight or even lose some compared to people who don’t dare step on the scales. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and consult one of our nutritionists, even in the Algarve […]

SOMETIMES BEEING SELFISH ISN’T BAD

By: | Tags:

Don’t neglect yourself and your health to avoid feeling selfish. Selfishness doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It can be good to be a little selfish to take care of your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Many people who focus entirely on give, give, give end up overwhelmed, fatigued, and stressed. And chronic stress has been linked to a number of health risks, including conditions like diabetes, cancer, and mental illnesses, plus unhealthy eating and putting on weight. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and let […]
