Sutter Dietitian Tasks Patients to Take Action in National Nutrition Month

Sutter Dietitian Tasks Patients to Take Action in National Nutrition Month

One in three adults is obese in America and Sutter Health registered dietitians are taking advantage of national nutrition month to raise awareness of the many strategies to combat the obesity epidemic.

“You can reach healthy weight goals by making gradual, healthy and reasonable changes in your eating and activity,” said Debbie Lucas, Registered Dietitian with Sutter Options for Success, one of the medical weight loss programs in the new Sutter Weight Management Institute.

In order to lose weight it is important to eat a healthy diet. What does that mean? “Eating less fat and fewer calories than what you are currently taking in.” says Lucas. “There are three ways to do it: eat high-fat, high-calorie foods less often, or in smaller amounts, or eat  lower-fat, lower-calorie foods instead.”

She says being physically active must be a priority.

NOW 100.5′s First Annual “NOW That’s A Dress Party”

NOW 100.5′s First Annual “NOW That’s A Dress Party”

Nina at the Golden Globes

By Nina Hajian

How many dresses do you have in your closet that you don’t wear?  It seems silly to buy a dress and only wear it once but we all do it!

With Facebook, twitter and instagram it’s like we all walk our very own red carpet every day. Who wants to be photographed in the same dress multiple times?  There’s a way to solve this problem, get you new dresses, and do good by helping WEAVE all at the same time.

Back when I was getting ready to go to the Golden Globes I was encouraged by one of our faithful NOW 100.5 listeners to donate my gown to a high school student that couldn’t afford a prom dress.  I loved the idea!  Every girl remembers her prom and whether it’s good or bad she at least deserves to feel beautiful.
