Read More »It’s been an interesting spring, that’s for sure, and it may have been a challenge to stay motivated about your weight loss or wellness goals when your routine was turned upside down. As a result, you’re probably ready to fine-tune your low carb lifestyle. In fact, a recent survey done by the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF), showed that stress and boredom during the recent lockdown boosted unhealthy eating habits, while a survey done by Atkins found that people are rethinking their habits and 70 percent are ready to take a break from certain foods, like fast food, pizza and even ice cream. For sure, the total change in our daily lives has had an impact. If you weren’t able to make it to the grocery store as often, couldn’t find the ingredients you were looking for (or weren’t comfortable going), it’s likely you relied a lot more on take-out and delivery options. You might have been gung-ho about meal planning and cooking at home for a while, but that can also lose its allure when it’s a constant requirement. Fortunately, people are ready to make some changes as restrictions are gradually lifted. According to the BNF survey, 47% of people say they want to become more active and exercise more, and 43% say they want to lose weight, while 29% say they want to eat more healthfully. Studies have also shown that people with pre-existing medical conditions such as hypertension, obesity or diabetes had a greater chance of being hospitalized with COVID-19. And all of these conditions can be improved with good nutrition. Now more than ever, it’s important to put your health first by making sure you’re getting a balance of optimal protein, healthy fats and fiber-rich carbs, which keep your blood sugar levels steady. It’s encouraging to see that people are motivated to choose unprocessed foods that are lower in sugar and carbs. Oh, and yes, a lot of you are definitely looking forward to eating out again.
