Golfing Healthy – 4 Tips to Set-Up 2016 for Success!

4 Tips to Set-Up 2016 for Success!

Golfing Healthy: Set-Up 2016 For Success!

Seeing as though I have already broken every single New Year’s Resolution for 2016, I thought it best we and I really mean me to dust myself off and revisit some of the things I should really focus on being a healthier me.  If you’re in the same boat, well then fine, check out some wonderful tips from Cate of Cate’s Kitchen and MTT Performance.

The start of the new year is a time when people commit to doing all kinds of things to be their best. When it comes to feeling better, they often set lofty and even unhealthy resolutions, especially related to weight loss. This time around, I challenge you to ditch the fleeting nature associated with hollow resolutions. Commit to a long-term game plan to make every year your best on and off the course! Whether you’re trying to slim down or shave a few strokes, the key to success is focusing on the small changes that provide the biggest upgrades. Keep your swing simple and your approach to eating delicious and doable and you’ll have the essentials for a lifetime of success.

Here are 4 essential tips to look and feel your best!

4 Daily Practice Tips

  1. Hydrate With Water

Hydration increases metabolism, supports detoxification, promotes healthy digestion and benefits overall health. Hydrate each morning with a large glass of water and pack a BPA-free bottle to refill for work or on the course. Fresh/frozen berries are a delicious way to infuse your water with flavor. You can also add lemon to water (and even food) for flavor and health benefits.

 

  1. Choose Whole Foods

Choose natural, whole foods (veggies and fruits) over man-made, processed products (baked goods). Whole foods, a.k.a. one ingredient foods, naturally contain more nutrients including fiber that support blood sugar levels and digestion. In general, the less refined a food is the more nutrients it contains. Set-up your round for success by packing some nuts and fresh fruit to enjoy after the front nine.

 

  1. Find Healthier Alternatives

Rather then forgetting your favorite foods, find healthier alternatives by getting in the routine of reading food labels. Look for minimal ingredients. Avoid labels with refined sugars, flours, and any ingredients you can’t pronounce. Aim for less than 5 grams of sugar per serving. Make some smart swaps at the course by opting for a lettuce-wrapped burger with a side of fruit salad and unsweetened iced tea. Swap your candy bar for decadent dark chocolate bar and nuts. Again, it’s not about depriving yourself but finding healthier versions of food that you enjoy. If it’s not enjoyable, then experiment with other options or make it a “cheat” meal.

 

  1. Strategize Your Splurges

Whether is be the clubhouse french fries, a giant bowl of mac-and-cheese or a slice of chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream, plan two “cheat” meals per week to indulge. It’s not good to feel deprived or overly strict with your nutrition, but you want to plan these meals ahead of time so you don’t make every meal a cheat meal. With that in mind, if you don’t want to eat something, then don’t keep it in the house. Many people do best when their cheat meals are outside their home.

Golfing Healthy – 5 Tips For a Healthier Holiday

5 Tips For a Healthier Holiday

Water is the optimal beverage but tea is a close second
Water is the optimal beverage but tea is a close second

The Holidays are a nutritionally challenging time of year for most people. How do you partake in all of the wonderful festivities without packing on the pounds? Yes, you could just wait until New Year’s resolutions roll around and kill yourself on the “dreadmill” at the gym. But, losing weight really doesn’t need to be that painful or difficult. Spare your belly and save your golf game by following these 5 tips for staying slim this season.

  1. Drink Herbal Tea

Avoid sugary and artificially sweetened beverages and limit your alcohol intake by enjoying some soothing herbal tea. Although

water is the optimal beverage of choice, herbal tea provides an excellent source of hydration during the cold winter months. Available in many delicious flavors, some teas can even taste like dessert with stevia. Try peppermint tea with stevia for a candy cane in a cup!

  1. Enjoy Protein-Rich Breakfasts

Start your day with more protein-rich, fat-burning foods such as eggs, leftover “roast beast” or wild salmon. Wild salmon is a great source of muscle-building protein, anti-inflammatory omega-3s and immune-boosting nutrients.

  1. Grab a Handful of Nuts

Nuts are rich in healthy fats that support weight loss, prevent overeating and reduce sugar cravings. Include a handful of nuts daily. Try them roasted with coconut flakes, cinnamon and honey to satisfy a sweet tooth.

  1. Slow Down & Chew

With a busy schedule most of the year, now is a great, “no excuses” time to slow down and savor your food. Practice putting your utensils down in between bites. By slowing down and chewing more you’ll improve your digestion and might even find meal time to be more relaxing.

  1. Go Green at Every Meal

The more whole foods you eat, the less room you have for processed products. Green leafy and cabbage family vegetables such as kale, collards, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts and spinach, provide maximum nutrients for minimal effort. Prep and cook them in batches so they’re always available to enjoy.

Golfing Healthy – Oatmeal, a Healthier Alternative to Cereal

Golfing Healthy with Cate Ritter

Oatmeal, a Healthier Alternative to Cereal

Golfing Healthy - Oatmeal, a Healthier Alternative to Cereal
Oatmeal is high in carbs, balance your meal with healthy fat and a side of protein

There’s nothing like starting your day with a piping hot breakfast. A great alternative to those highly processed boxed cereals, breakfast bars, and baked goods, these healthy oatmeal recipes are filled with nutrients to start your day and your round with success.

Oats are rich in fiber, antioxidants, phytonutrients, minerals and vitamins. These nutrients work together to help lower blood cholesterol, fight free radicals, stabilize blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even cancer.

When selecting oats, it’s best to get the actual “whole grain,” not a product “made from whole grains.” There’s a big difference. When a product is made from whole grains, it’s processed and refined, resulting in a much higher glycemic load (GL). The higher the GL, the greater the spike in insulin, a.k.a. your fat storage hormone. For a lower GL with nutty flavor and creamy texture, select steel cut oats. Although they can take a long time to prepare, the recipes below reduce cooking time greatly with a simple pre-night prep technique.

Oatmeal is high in carbs, so be sure to balance your morning meal with some healthy fat and a side of protein, such as cottage cheese, yogurt with whey, eggs, or smoked salmon.

Lastly, beware adding too much sugar to oatmeal by selecting fresh fruit over dried fruit. For healthier sweeteners try in this order: cinnamon, stevia, fresh fruit, dried fruit, raw local honey or grade B maple syrup.

Try these great tasting recipes and start your day or your round of golf right.

Golfing Healthy – 6 Tips For Healthy Travels

Golfing Healthy with Cate Ritter

TheLEAN18green - Cate''s Nutrition KitchenTheLEAN18green - Cate''s Nutrition KitchenWhether you’re traveling for a golf tournament, a business meeting or a family vacation, it can be challenging to find convenient food options that keep you energized and satisfied. Although you’re not likely to find a “par-fect” plate of grass-fed steak, baked sweet potato fries, GMO-free ketchup and a side of organic steamed kale, you can still make better choices that are healthy and delicious. Eating more nutritious foods will help improve your energy, reduce stress and set you up for a restful night’s sleep — all challenges for a golfer living on-the-go. By following the simple tips below you improve your daily performance on and off the course.

 

  1. Stay Hydrated
    Stay Hydrated with a little lemon in your water
    Stay Hydrated with a little lemon in your water

    Stick with water as your main beverage. Not only does water support your body, it also prevents you from drinking beverages high in refined sugars, artificial sweeteners and other toxic ingredients. Sparkling water and unsweetened teas are also healthy options. Add lemon wedges, sliced cucumber or flavored stevia for variety.

  1. Plan Ahead
    Search for grocery stores near your destination for a healthier meal or to stock up on supplies. Research restaurant menus ahead of time to create a meal from the healthier selections. Try combining sides or appetizers, such as two eggs with a side of bacon and a cup of fruit.
  1. Protein First
    Increase metabolism and decrease appetite by eating protein first. Next, enjoy plenty of non-starchy vegetables with a small amount of natural fat. Lastly, enjoy non-starchy veggies, grains, beans, legumes, and fruits at the end of your meal. Eating foods in this order helps stabilize blood sugar, increase satiation and prevent overeating. For example, you’re much less likely to gorge on a giant potato after you’ve finished a grilled steak with asparagus and butter.
  1. Include Veggies
    Add vegetables to your meal to increase nutrients with fiber, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. The more veggies (spinach, broccoli, asparagus) on your plate, the less room you’ll have for insulin-spiking refined carbs (bread, white rice, pasta or chips). Boost nutrients with greens instead of grains by choosing salads and lettuce wraps. If you can’t resist bread, select sourdough or “sprouted” varieties and make it a half sandwich.
  1. Learn to Lemonize
    Add freshly squeezed lemon juice to water, tea, salads, chicken, fish, and vegetables for extra flavor. Lemons support weight loss, improve digestion, aid detoxification, and provide a decent amount of vitamin C and potassium.
  1. Eat Slowly
    When you improvehow you eat, you’ll naturally improve what you eat. Start by being mindful of your first three bites and practice putting utensils down between bites. It’s this combination of awareness and small changes that produce the most effective results.

 

On-The-Go Examples

Airport breakfast: cheese omelet with spinach, mushrooms, tomato; side of fruit
Road trip cooler: beef/bison jerky, sliced bell pepper, walnuts and a banana.
Grocery grab: rotisserie chicken with cherry tomatoes, guacamole, and an apple.
Drive-thru: lettuce-wrapped double burger with tomato, pickles, and onions.

Golfing Healthy – Champion’s Choice: Coconut Oil

Golfing Healthy with Cate Ritter

TheLEAN18green - Cate''s Nutrition KitchenTheLEAN18green - Cate''s Nutrition KitchenCoconut oil is a unique metabolism boosting fat that can help shed pounds off your body and strokes off your scorecard! A favorite among athletes, this nutrient-dense, saturated fat also supports the immune system, and reduces aging. With coconut oil included in your daily diet, you’ll be able to take your game, and your health, to the next level!

Four Big Fat Facts

1. Boosts Metabolism
Reap the benefits of coconuts oil’s thermic effect as your Camilo Villegas like muscles intimidate the competition with a deep drive straight down the middle of the fairway! Similar to lean protein, the medium-chain fats in coconuts actually increase metabolism to support muscle mass and aid fat loss.

2. Nutrient Dense
Stay strong and maximize course management skills with some nourishing pre-round coconut oil to fuel your body and brain. Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, capric acid, manganese, molybdenum, and copper, while also containing adequate calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium and vitamins B, C and E.

3. Supports Immunity
Now you’re “sick days” can be spent on the course instead of the couch! Rich in lauric acid, coconut oil has antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties that strengthen the immune system, keeping you eligible for the course record all year long!

4. Reduces Aging
Shooting your age is easier with coconut oil! Although most people think of extra virgin olive oil as a good oil for cooking, coconut would be a much healthier choice. Unlike olive oil, coconut oil has a high heat point, making it much less susceptible to harmful oxidation that can advance aging and promote cancer.

Sample Day to Go Coconuts!
Breakfast: 3 eggs, spinach & red pepper (cooked in coconut oil)
Lunch: lettuce-wrapped burger (cooked in coconut oil), avocado & tomatoes
Snack: chocolate protein shake with coconut oil & strawberries
Dinner: wild salmon, asparagus, mushrooms & red potatoes (cooked in coconut oil)

Select: Unrefined, organic, virgin coconut oil with no other ingredients listed
Avoid: Refined, hydrogenated, non-organic, bleached or deodorized
Storage: Keep at room temperature for up to 2 years
