5 Top Diet Dilemmas Solved


(ARA) - If you're trying to lose weight take the advice of a registered dietician who can help you solve the five top diet dilemmas. Registered dietitian Jenna A. Bell-Wilson, PhD, RD, CSSD provides solid, science-based information to help you achieve your weight-loss goals.

Will low calorie sweeteners make me fat or eat more? For those looking for a sweet, but low-cal alternative to sugar, sweeteners, such as aspartame, do not get in the way of weight loss.

If I eat in the evening, will it make me gain more weight? "When we eat has a less to do with weight gain than how much we eat," advises Bell-Wilson. Spread calories out throughout the day to avoid overeating in the evening.

Will specific foods help me burn fat? "The best way to burn fat is to exercise."

Low/no fat = no calories...right? While low fat diets can help us lower our total calorie intake, low or no fat does not equal no calories.

Will a crash diet or fast jump start my weight loss? "Eat a varied, calorie-controlled, plant-based diet" Bell-Wilson says. "And for weight loss success, incorporate physical activity on a daily basis."
