| Today's Segment -- Video Forthcoming Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous with Esther Blum You do not have to feel like you are missing out on all the fun when trying to stay healthy. Registered dietitian and Eat, Drink and be Gorgeous Esther Blum will give us tips to help enjoy a healthy lifestyle. There’s never a better time than now to start a healthy lifestyle and still have fun. It is really easy if you just make the right choices. Certain foods can recharge and invigorate you and there are strategies that let you indulge without going overboard. I am going to show you how to put the fun back into eating by choosing the right ingredients. There are food that recharge and invigorate but STILL have flavor. Yogurt is a great way to start your day, and I really like Greek yogurt because it is high in protein and that is what helps combat hunger and keeps you satisfied throughout the day. Add some fruit and whole grains to jazz it up a bit or opt for one of FAGE Total’s sidecar flavors, and you have a healthy and tasty little meal. Another great tip about yogurt is you can use it as a substitute in recipes for many high fat foods. I really like Fage Total 0% because it goes through a unique straining process that gives it its ridiculously thick texture; it has twice the protein of most yogurts and contains only two ingredients, live active cultures and milk. So a nice healthy treat for anytime of the day. You know things like fiber, antioxidants and vitamins are very important for a healthy lifestyle. A good way to get many of these is through fruits and vegetables but you can also get a lot of good fiber and positive nutrition through great-tasting.. There are a lot of cereals out now that, in addition to fiber, are rich in antioxidants and vitamins and minerals. One cereal I really like is Kellogg’s FiberPlus Antioxidants Cereals. It tastes great, plus it delivers 35-40 percent of your daily fiber and is rich in antioxidant vitamins C and E. The best thing to remember is to make sure you are eating the right foods. Look for foods that are high in fiber and protein and its ok to have some fat as long as it is in moderation. Also, hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate, especially in the hot summer months. You will be amazed at how much less hungry you will get if you are drinking a lot of water. It’s all about eating the right foods to keep you energized and full.
