HOW TO BE A SMART AND INFORMED GROSHERY SHOPPER
Grocery shopping - especially around the holidays -can feel overwhelming. Aisle after aisle of bright labels, endless promotions, and countless “healthy” or “organic” claims can make it hard to know what’s truly good for you. And no… organic veggie chips do not count as fresh vegetables. Many people fall for clever marketing, but your best defense is being a smart, informed shopper. After all, your health is at stake. Over the years, I have developed a few simple strategies that help me navigate the supermarket with confidence and stay focused on health.

1. Don’t shop hungry!
2. Make a weekly menu so you know exactly what you need.
3. Bring a list - and stick to it.
4. Start with the outer aisles where fresh, whole foods are located.
5. Load up on vegetables and fruits first.
6. Choose fresh produce whenever possible.
7. Keep frozen vegetables and fruits on hand for quick, healthy meals.
8. Be mindful in the inner aisles - this is where most processed food hides.
9. Avoid packaged foods when you can.
10 If you do buy packaged foods, always READ THE LABEL.

You grocery list is one of the keys to your weight loss success! Elena offers guidance.

One of the pleasures of eating out is discovering new recipes. Recently, I had lunch at Wheel Kitchen and ordered their tuna poke bowl - it was absolutely delicious. So of course, I decided to try making one at home. Surprisingly, it was not complicated at all, and the bonus of a homemade bowl is that you can add as many of your favorite ingredients as you like.

Here is the recipe I tried - and loved!

Ingredients: (2 servings)
• 1 cup cooked black rice (warm or cooled)
• 8 oz sushi-grade ahi tuna, cubed
• 1 small mango, diced
• 1 cucumber, diced
• ½ cup peas (fresh or thawed frozen)
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
• Sesame seeds for topping

Poke Sauce
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp rice vinegar

ENJOY!

Change ONE Habit at a Time
When you decide it’s time to clean the house, you don’t start by emptying every drawer and every closet at once -you’d be overwhelmed, stressed, and ready to give up before you even begin. Instead, you start with one drawer. Finish it. Enjoy that little victory. Then move on to the next. Makes sense, right? The exact same strategy applies to cleaning up your eating habits.
✨ One habit at a time.
✨ One small win at a time.
✨ One realistic change at a time.
And here’s an important tip:
When you remove something, you must replace it -otherwise the new habit won’t stick.
➡️ If you stop drinking soda with meals, don’t leave a void.
Replace it with water.
If you love the fizz, choose sparkling or mineral water instead.
Your brain is wired for substitution, not deprivation.
📝 My suggestion for this week:
Create a Habit Inventory.
List the habits that aren’t serving your health goals.
Choose ONE to start with.
Focus on it until it becomes effortless.
Then move on to the next.
Small steps = big results.
Consistency beats perfection.

You’ve got this.

EXERCISE VS DIET - WHICH ONE ACTUALLY HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT?

When people notice a few extra pounds, the first instinct is usually:
"I need a gym membership… immediately!"
Cue the yoga mats, running shoes, and ambitious promises.

But here’s the reality check (don’t worry, it’s a friendly one):

➡️ 80% of weight loss comes from your diet.
➡️ Only about 20% comes from exercise.

Yes, exercise is amazing—for muscle tone, stress relief, and heart health. But if you haven’t exercised since… well, a very long time, jumping into intense workouts can do more harm than good. (Your back and knees will definitely file complaints.)

Instead, start with what truly moves the scale:
1. Clean up your diet — say goodbye to junk food, sugary drinks, and “just one more” snacks.
2. Eat more veggies and protein - and in portions that actually keep you full.
3. Build one healthy habit at a time — master your nutrition first, then ease into exercise.

Once your diet is on track, exercise becomes the perfect sidekick—not the superhero.

HOW BEING OVERWEIGHT AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH
Recent research shows that being overweight or obese can shorten life expectancy by 5 -10 years. Extra weight doesn’t just change how you look - it affects nearly every organ system in your body.

Carrying excess weight increases the risk of:
1. High blood pressure and heart disease
2. Fatty liver and gallbladder disease
3. Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
4. Infertility and hormonal imbalances
5. Obstructive sleep apnea
6. Back and knee problems
7. Certain cancers
8. Chronic inflammation

The good news? Even modest weight loss can dramatically improve your health - lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, balancing hormones, and protecting your heart and liver.
