HEALTH MATTERS

Looking above, this is totally something you could do for life, whether you are away on vacay, visiting family, or on a cruise in Europe. This is not a restrictive plan, it is not boring, and it is very doable for the rest of your life.

So make a list of your favourite breakfasts, lunches, snacks and supper and see how close you are already coming to getting 10/10 on the principles above. You may just need to tweak a few things. For example:

1) Instead of just oatmeal for breakfast, you could add 1 scoop of protein powder (Proatmeal) and add a few berries on top and this would be one power packed breakfast.

2) Instead of a granola bar for snack, trade it for a protein bar such as Daryls, Quest or Pure Protein to bump your protein and add some optional raw veggies if you wish.

3) Instead of eating a salad for lunch, buy a roast chicken from the grocery store, take off the skin and add 4-6 oz to the salad. You will not only enjoy your lunch time salad more, but will feel fuller from it too.

4) Instead of making 2 meals for dinner for your family, Make meat as your base (e.g. steak), and then make sides that you like and they like (if it is different). Your children might have frozen fries and you may have air fryer sweet potato fries but you are all eating as a family, which is the main thing.

5) Trade up that regular yogurt you love to eat with Greek yogurt and prep it the night before with frozen fruit so it is more flavourful in the morning when you are ready to eat it.

6) Instead of a sandwich for lunch, make a lettuce wrap, do an open faced sandwich or put your lunch meat and veg on a broghie.

7) On your regular pizza night, get the whole family together and make English muffin pizzas that are so much less calories and just as yummy (and great family fun)

Little changes lead to big results Setting up a plan with a few principles that is easy to follow now and forever will lead to success in the short term and in the LONG RUN!!

Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) has partnered with Rocket Doctor to trial a new service giving patients with an alternative option to the Emergency department (ED), while still providing access to appropriate health services. If you need nonemergent medical care, alternative health care options to the ED are available, such as using Rocket Doctor’s virtual same-day appointment services.
