About Susan Lee Ottevanger, Wellness Coach
Expertise
There is nothing on earth more important than your body, your health. With a little knowledge, there is nothing in life you have more power, more control over. If you are tired of feeling bad, stop eating badly. Most of what we eat most of: only a human mistakes this stuff for food. Distinguish real, satisfying food from the mere flavored packing material that keeps you hungry. If you`ve been on every diet twice and are going crazy, I can give you a path to Peace in the Kitchen.

Experience
In the late '80's my weight up and down reached a crisis. Arthritus in my back made it painfull to move. Balancing blood sugar had me eating more often. Eating more, moving less, miserable. My doctor smiled, said "just move more and eat less". This from a medical professional about to burst his buttons. Not a working plan. I knew I had to write my own, so I started researching what was new to put with what sorta worked for me in the past. Eat protein, eat carbs, just not at the same time. Never go around hungry, listen to your body, it can tell you what it needs.

Nutrition & Dieting - freshmen 15


Expert: Susan Lee Ottevanger, Wellness Coach - 10/20/2009

Question
hi im 19 year old female leaving for school on jan. i want to lose 20 pounds by the time i leave i was thinking about joining weight watchers and working out 5 days a week but i was wondering what do u suggest i should do always how can i not gain freshmen 15.

Answer
Make informed choices - real food instead of flavored packing material. Weight watchers are not the that smart about what they recommend, too many empty calories. When you eat what you need, you don't overeat.

Choose to move. Walk an extra block, climb stairs, every minute adds up in your favor. It is easier to sneak in some of this or that than drag yourself to some boring workout, and more likely to keep on happening.
