Read with the professionals: What do we read?

Clients always ask Robyn and her team what they eat and what kind of recipes they recommend. Meal planning around nutritional needs is a priority for the Healthy Results team, which is apparent in their healthy lifestyles. Robyn and her team often refer to books to learn more about nutrition.

What is the best way to supplement healthy eating habits?

Increasing caloric expenditure (increasing activity and exercise each day) is the best supplement to healthier eating contributing to appropriate fat loss, not just weight loss. Implementing a nutrition plan alone will run you the risk of losing muscle as well as fat. In order to maintain and increase your muscle mass, it is imperative that increased calorie burning and muscle building become a part of one’s daily routine as well.

A simple and economical tool for measuring caloric expenditure is a pedometer.
A pedometer attaches to the belt/waist on pants, shirts, etc. As you walk, run, move throughout the day, the pedometer tracks your hip movements. Most professionals recommend 10,000 steps per day, approximately 4 miles. The pedometer can also be fixed on to a shoe to track bicycle movement.

The cost of a pedometer starts at just $10, depending on the sophistication of the tool. Healthy Results promotes the Omron and Sportline pedometers, since these brands have pedometers that clip on and typically stay on, store steps for 7 days and is more accurate with steps recorded.
