I encourage you to take a moment and see what’s new at the Women and Weight Website. I’ve spent quite a bit of time setting up what I hope will be a couple of useful links for you. There’s now a link on the menu bar at the top of each page that gives you easy access to some of my most read and popular articles. And there’s another link for you to have easy access to a variety of health tools.

ARTICLES

Just look for “Articles” on the navigation bar. Some of my best articles were hard to find before I added this link. If you are a new visitor to my site or an RSS feed subscriber and you haven’t stopped by for a while, I’m confident you will find many articles that you might have missed. As we head into the holiday season, you may want to be as well-prepared as possible to make healthy choices, not put on extra pounds, and yet still enjoy the holiday season.

If you have not yet had a chance to read one of my first articles I posted on this site, you may want to do it now. Its title is Weight Loss Success: A Nutritionist’s 10 Best Tips. I may have written this a while ago but the tips are still valid. Read this article and it will help you stay on track with making the best choices you can when you reach for food during the holidays.

Are you remembering to include good sources of dietary fiber in your diet each day? Have you read Dietary Fiber: Can it Help You with Weight Loss? Do you know which are the best low calorie, high fiber fruits and vegetables for this time of year? You may want to read Fall Fruits and Vegetables: Low Calorie and High Fiber. I will be sharing a new version for the best winter fruits and vegetables soon. Be looking for that!

I have articles listed under 8 different categories from Calories to Reviews of programs and services to Weight Loss and Exercise Tips and more. I’ve written dozens of articles. If you are not finding the information you need, let me know! I’m always creating new lists of what to write about and share.

The holiday season may mean eating out more often. Have you read my tips on how to keep your calorie count down when eating out? Maybe you’d like specific tips on saving calories when eating at a Chinese or Italian restaurant. Be looking for more tips about other ethnic restaurants in the coming months!

HEALTH TOOLS

Something else I’ve added to the navigation bar that I think you will find to be useful is a link to a variety of health calculators and other tools. If you want to determine your BMR to get a handle on how many calories you need you will find it here. You’ll also find calculators for assessing calories burned and how much you need with respect to protein, fat, and carbohydrates each day.

ENJOY

No, I haven’t added a link for Enjoy though maybe I should! I simply want to encourage you to ease up on your weight loss goals for the next 5 or 6 weeks. Maintaining weight might be a better goal than losing weight. You can start off fresh on January 1, 2008 with calorie cutting. Till then enjoy the holidays and indulge just a little…
