Here’s a recent article with helpful tips on nutrition from Laurie, our Lite for Life director at Los Gatos Health & Fitness club. Laurie writes about some of Kirstie’s recent eating habits during her very public struggle with weight loss and weigh gain in the spotlight.

I caught a re-run of Oprah the other day featuring guest star Kirstie Alley.  Kirstie was bringing Oprah up to speed on her weight loss battle and various TV projects.  Oprah asked about a typical day of eating and Kirstie went into what she described as “monoeating.”  Apparently, this refers to eating mostly the same thing every day.

I had to laugh at the term and then admit that I”m probably one of those!  I simply just don’t mind eating consistently – it actually makes it simpler.  If I get bored I do switch it up, but it works well for me.

Enough about me, though.  Kirstie’s morning went something like this:

Breakfast: half a whole-wheat english muffin with an egg (the WHOLE egg, not just an egg white, she clarified) and fruit
Snack: Fage yogurt with flavored Stevia drops and cinnamon

Sound familiar?!  I couldn’t wait to let you know that you eat like the stars!

Curious about my typical day?  I love my monoeating!

Breakfast #1: 1 egg with toast and cottage cheese
Options #1: Oatmeal with a milk topping and 1 egg

Snack: Fage yogurt with English Toffee Stevia

Lunch #1: Salad with some sort of protein and either beans or bread or crackers
Option #2: Pastrami sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and low-fat mozzarella or cheddar

Snack: Protein shake (LFL vanilla PP, almond milk, blueberries) = YUM!
Option #2: Cottage cheese and strawberries

Dinner: Always a combination of protein, a starch, and a variety of vegetables

Thanks Laurie for sharing these great tips on creating healthy habits each day that we can stick to! Are you a monoeater or do you like to switch it up everyday? Share your thoughts with us here…
