SUMMER SHAPE UP:
IMPORTANT NUTRITION FACTS AND FITNESS TIPS TO HELP US FEEL GOOD AND LOOK GREAT THIS SUMMER!
New York · May 22nd, 2008 /PRNewswire/ – With the arrival of the warm weather, many of us have the same reaction: first, the thrill of making it through another long winter; then the shock of realizing that we haven't followed our New Year's resolution to eat healthier and work out. Don't panic! There is still time to get back on the right nutritional track and get your body back in shape for summer.
"By incorporating the right nutritional changes and performing daily simple exercise routines, we can not only feel good, but look good in our shorts, dresses and bathing suits this summer," says Kelli Calabrese, national nutrition and fitness expert specializing in nutrition, fitness and women's wellness.
"One of the struggles dieters face is finding quick and satisfying recipes that will help them get ready for swimsuit season. Campbell's kitchen team came up with 20 tasty recipes, including Garden Vegetable Soup, as well as nutritional information such as Weight Watcher Points and dietary exchanges to help you achieve your healthy-eating goals. Since most people tend to eat the same foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it's a matter of finding a few healthy recipes that you enjoy to encourage and motivate you to look and feel your best all summer long.
"The key to getting in shape is to get moving. The BeeWell Miles program is designed to help you get active by providing the tools and motivation you need to lead a healthy lifestyle. You can log your miles and what you eat on BeeWellMiles.com. When you log your miles, you have a chance to win one of 10,000 instant prizes. You will also be helping the Breast Cancer Network for Strength, because once one million miles are logged, Bumble Bee will donate $200,000 to the organization. The BeeWell site also features articles from Health magazine, tips and great recipes.
"Healthy snacking is one of the greatest challenges when you are trying to lose weight. No one wants to feel deprived on their way to achieving their goals. When choosing a snack, you want one that's naturally low in fat, calories and carbs, and completely free of trans-fat. It's also important to have a genuine source of protein, and of course it should be satisfying too. Jack Link’s is a perfect on-the-go snack, and it is available in 100 calorie portion-control packs in a variety of flavors. It also comes in 50 calorie portion-control multi-packs in Original Jerky, Prime Rib Tender Cuts and Teriyaki Nuggets. When convenience is important on your road to looking great in a swimsuit, this is one of the best ways for you to get a high-protein and flavorful snack," Calabrese says.
