Change your Health direction .

Welcome. I’m Nichola Flood, nutritional Coach and Training Manager with LloydsPharmacy. The ‘Change Your Health Direction’ programme is an opportunity for you and your family to get into better lifestyle habits, with the help of me and my colleagues in LloydsPharmacy.

The 8 week programme starts with a visit to your local LloydsPharmacy, where my colleagues will talk to you about your health hopes and goals. For many people, it starts with weight – and you’ll find this booklet a great way of helping you stay on track. For others it’s giving up smoking, improving their skin or lowering their blood pressure. And we’re here to help.

As a nutritionist, my focus is on your eating choices. It’s important to recognise that eating well effects more than your weight. This is not a diet, it’s a ‘Change of Health Direction’, a change that will remain with you for life. We’ll be helping you to make small but impactful changes to your diet, changes leading to lifelong benefits.

Even small changes will help you avoid obesity and help prevent illnesses caused by poor diet. With obesity on the increase in Ireland, among adults and children, it’s a change we have to make. 15,000 new cases of type 2 diabetes are diagnosed annually in Ireland, a condition largely resulting from obesity.

But let’s focus on the positive. Anyone can ‘Change Their Health Direction’! LloydsPharmacy’s in-store coaches are there to support and guide you, with healthy recipes, supportive advice and weekly weigh-ins. We’ll show you how you can be healthy and still enjoy good, wholesome foods - small steps lead to big changes!

Nichola FloodLloydsPharmacy Nutritional Coach and Training Manager

Where do I start?Changing Your Health Direction starts from within. Whether you’re giving up smoking, trying to get fitter, wanting more energy, trying to improve your complexion or – like so many people – trying to lose weight. Eating well makes you feel good and positive, which in turn makes you more ready to meet the world’s challenges! You’ll find plenty of ideas in this diary. You’ll get all the support and advice you need from your local LloydsPharmacy Change Your Health Direction Coach.

How to approach our Change Your Health Direction diary.

1. You must eat 5 meals a day 3 x 300 calories meals: (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) 2 x 150 calorie snacks. As an example below: a. 8am Breakfast b. 10.30pm Snack c. 1pm Lunch d. 3.30pm Snack e. 6pm Dinner.2. Record what you eat in your diary, so your LloydsPharmacy programme Coach can advise you on what to eat. 3. Set a realistic weight loss goal with your coach.4. Never skip any meal even if you are not hungry.5. Eat every 2.5 – 3 hours.6. Stick to the plan; it works.7. Make sure to book in for your free weekly weigh-in with your Change Your Health Direction Coach.8. If eating out go for the healthy option… there is always one!9. Have a positive thought every day and repeat every day: for example: Thank you for my beautiful size xx body!10. Restrict alcohol intake to less than 3 small glasses of wine a week/3 beers a week. Less the better!11. No sugar type sweets. Tempted? How about 2 squares of dark chocolate with 6 almonds. 12. If it comes in a box the chances are it’s bad for you!

Remember your ABC’s:

Awareness: You choose what goes into your body so be aware of what’s wholesome, healthy and nutritious.

A Positive Change!

Changing your Health Direction isn’t just about food. It’s about attitude and activity too. Here are some things you can do

to help make the change permanent.

Keep it going, even in the workplace

1. Use the stairs instead of the lift.

2. Prepare your meals the night before – this will save you money and save you

from making bad choices “Fail to prepare, prepare to fail”.

3. Go for a walk at lunch time and get a walking club going.

4. Prepare your snacks at home the night before and always have them to hand.

5. Vary your diet to avoid being bored.

6. Keep water to hand and drink 2 - 2.5 litres a day.

Eating out doesn’t have to be a drag

1. Drink water instead of fizzy drinks.2. Check out the menu online before you go so you don’t make any unhealthy decisions and be tempted to go off course.3. Skip the breads.4. Make sure to have whole grains and vegetables as the majority of your meal.5. Ask for what you want and don’t be afraid. All restaurants are happy to accommodate you.6. Get the sauces and dressings on the side.7. If you fancy dessert go with the healthiest option and share with someone.

How to maintain your changes

This is not a diet but a change of health direction, “a lifestyle change”. Once you start to adopt

the plan by making healthier choices and exercising regularly you will start to see improvements.

Use your clothes as a gauge and not the scales after you finish the 8 weeks. Doing 100’s of sit

ups will not give you a six pack but if you start in the kitchen and clean up your diet you will start

to see that six pack. Keep looking through your kitchen presses to see what you can eliminate

that is processed and start to look for the cleaner, healthier options.

Best of luckNichola Flood, Nutritional Coach and Training Manager, LloydsPharmacy.

Healthy Eating Top Tips

If you try to change everything at once, or to eliminate certain food groups, you’ll probably

give up after the first week. Try not to think of any foods/food groups as off limits. If you are

drawn towards sweet, salty or unhealthy foods, reduce the portion size and don’t eat as often.

Think of smaller portions when preparing meals and eating out. Portion sizes have rocketed

and you don’t need a supersize of anything. Make small changes – like using coconut oil

instead of cooking oil. Eat every 2.5 - 3 hours. Try adding a salad instead of fries or make your

own home made wedges as a treat with your fresh fish or chicken.

WaterWater is your new best friend. It will helps to flush out toxins and rehydrate your body, making

it easier to lose weight! Many people are dehydrated and don’t realise it. Do you know that

when we are dehydrated we can get the following symptoms — headaches, tiredness, low

energy? Also if you feel the urge to eat, it could be dehydration.

ExerciseFind something that you like and get a buddy to support you.

Walking, Running, Gym, Zumba - anything that makes you smile and feel energised afterwards.

Carbohydrates are goodYes, you did hear me right!!!! But they’re only good if eaten in the right form.

Healthy carbs include: whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables. Healthy carbs are digested

more slowly, so blood sugar and insulin levels remain stable, making you feel fuller for longer.

Unhealthy carbs include: white flour, refined sugar and white - foods stripped of all their

natural nutrients. Unhealthy carbs digest quickly and cause spikes in blood sugar levels

and energy.

Fats are good for youMonounsaturated fats, from plant oils like olive oil, peanut oil canola oil, peanut oil, avocados,

nuts (not roasted or salted) and seeds (such as sunflower, pumpkin and sesame).

Polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, found in fatty fish such as

salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and fish oil supplements.

Other sources of polyunsaturated fats are unheated sunflower, corn, soybean, flaxseed oils,

and walnuts.

Reading labelsWhen doing your weekly shopping, do you read the labels on what is going into your trolley?Do you know that sugar can be disguised in many ways:

• Agave • Rice syrup • Invert sugar• Barley malt syrup • Molasses • Honey• Corn sweetener • Sorghum syrup • Xylose• Corn syrup • Malt syrup • Lactose • Fruit juice concentrate Some well-known breakfast cereal brands can have up to 25 grammes of sugar in one serving. A slice of bread contains 3.5 grammes of sugar.

A quick guide to reading labels:

1. Start with the serving information (this is at the top of the label). This will tell you the size of a single serving and the total number of servings per container (package).

2. Next, check total calories per serving. Pay attention to the calories per serving and how many servings you’re really consuming if you eat the whole package. If you double the servings you eat, you double the calories and nutrients.

3. Limit these nutrients. Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, no more than 16 grams of saturated fat, as little trans fat as possible, and no more than 1,500 mg of sodium.

4. Get enough of these nutrients. Make sure you get enough of beneficial nutrients such as: dietary fibre, protein, calcium, iron, vitamins and other nutrients you need every day.

5. Quick guide to % Daily Value. The % Daily Value (DV) tells you the percentage of each nutrient in a single serving, in terms of the daily recommended amount. As a guide, if you want to consume less of a nutrient (such as saturated fat or sodium), choose foods with a lower % DV — 5 percent or less. If you want to consume more of a nutrient (such as fibre), seek foods with a higher % DV — 20 percent or more.

Healthy Tips!

Snacking is good for you!Keeping your blood sugar stable is key when trying to lose weight. Eating little and often is the right way to go. Keeping your blood sugars level results in consistent energy, good moods and concentration.Snack on proteins and carbohydrates together. Eating every 2.5 - 3 hours is recommended.

Some snack ideas:

• Fresh fruit with some almonds/walnuts or pecans• Mixed seeds and fruit• Hummus and rice cakes• Apple and nut butter• Natural yogurt and nuts• Want chocolate? Well, have 2 squares of 70% dark chocolate and 6 almonds.

Rethink your drink

There are calories in drinks too (except for plain water). Some people consume their daily calorie intake in the consumption of fizzy drinks, lattes and alcohol even before they eat. A regular latte made on milk can have up to 16 grammes of sugar just from the milk. One can of cola reaches your sugar intake for the day!A fast food meal can exceed your daily calorie intake (for a woman trying to lose weight)of 1,200 calories!
