Good Housekeeping USA – September 2019

Q: WHAT’S THE

BEST WEIGHT-

LOSS APP?

A: To lose pounds, you’ll

want to fill up on more

plants (produce, nuts, seeds,

whole grains), lean protein,

low-fat dairy and occasional

treats. The best app is one

that helps you be accountable

and consistent and provides

a supportive sense of commu-

nity. Luckily, many of them can

do this. I love MyFitnessPal

for helping users consistently

track daily meals, snacks

and exercise. Rise offers

coaching in which registered

dietitians can opine on your

choices in real time. Fitbit

takes into account factors like

how much you’re moving.

Ultimately, it comes down to

which you’ll use. And for

an anytime whole-grain snack

to keep you on track toward

weight loss, try GH Seal star

Jolly Time Simply Popped

Air Popped Popcorn.

Q: I want to eat whole grains,

but I’m gluten-free. Any options?

A: First of all, major props for adding 100% whole grains to your diet! A study this year found

that lower intake of 100% whole grains was linked to greater risk of chronic disease, including

diabetes and heart disease, and mortality (yikes!). If you have to go gluten-free for health reasons,

try quinoa, sorghum, brown rice, gluten-free oats for breakfast, millet, amaranth and buckwheat.

One caveat: Check labels, since store-bought GF swaps are often made from refined (not

whole) grains plus added sugar, sodium and saturated fat to enhance texture and flavor.

A: Short answer — no. Longer answer — no, and here’s why: Proponents claim that restricting mealtimes

lowering risk of chronic disease, but doing so to lose lbs is really just a trendy form of torture. Science

stop doing so. Plus, women are at increased risk of disordered eating behaviors, and periods of calorie

of what you eat and snacking about every four hours to stay satisfied. Our GH Nutritionist Approved

combo: Cosmic Crisp Apple Slices and Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds.
