We want to help you kick off the New Year to a healthy start!

 

Happy New Year

When we got together to talk about what we could do to help you this New Year, we came across these interesting statistics.

It turns out that exercising more and losing weight are the top 2 and 3 most popular New Year’s resolutions (respectively). Unfortunately, studies show that 25% of resolutions are broken in the 1st week, and 46% of people have given up on their resolution by 6 months.

This means that despite our good intentions, we just aren’t able to get active and make healthier choices to lose the weight.

Why are people unable to achieve their goal? One main reason– the lack of a real plan!
Planning to do something is one thing; but actually putting together an executable process to ensure success, is another.

So, with YOU in mind, we created this…

 

A FREE phone consultation with a Nutritionist to discuss your plan for creating a healthier New Year!

During your FREE consultation, your Nutritionist will be interested in learning more about you, so that she can provide the best solutions to fit your specific needs.

Together you will discuss:

  • Past struggles and current obstacles that are preventing you from achieving successful weight loss now and in the future
  • Setting goals that will set you up for success vs. failure
  • Your current eating habits, to identify specific areas that should be addressed in your plan
  • How we can support you, such as: teaching you about nutrition, providing guidance and accountability, answering questions as they come up (as they inevitably do), and give you the confidence you need to succeed.

Based on the information you provide, you may also receive:

  • A Nutrition Assessment
  • Metabolism Boosting Menu plan for those hard to lose pounds
  • Suggested Grocery List
  • 10 Favorite Tips for achieving success
  • PLUS and extra gift, from us to you, to help you kick off a Healthy New Year 🙂

 

Book Your Appointment

Getting started couldn’t be easier! Simply follow these 2 steps:

  1. Click here to Book Your FREE Appointment
  2. Check your inbox for an email from your new Nutritionist with the subject line “Schedule Your Appointment”, and simply reply with the best time/date that fits your schedule!

 

Please keep in mind that the time you select is reserved for YOU. So, mark it on your calendar! After all, it could end up being the day you took the step to finally lose weight, live a healthy lifestyle, and regained your health.

How good of a deal is this?

Well, let’s just say that some Nutritionists charge $110 for a 30 min session. We’re a non-profit organization that is sincerely interested in seeing you lose weight and improve your health. We are offering this program for FREE in January, so that anyone who needs it can receive the guidance they need to regain their health in 2013.

Have you ever met someone who seemed a little close-minded? Or perhaps a picky eater? Well, this month I came across something very interesting that I thought I’d share with you.

 Early in October, I started to prepare for our Skinny Gene Project Halloween Party (otherwise called the “sugar presentation”) for my patients. It’s always exciting to get everything ready for our group events. We want our members to really enjoy themselves.

 When the day came, I had prepared healthy food for them to eat at the party, as well as healthy treats to take home – our “Skinny Gened” version of a trick- or-treat bag.

 As the patients began to arrive, I told them to help themselves to the food while we waited for our other guests. One of my patients came in with her husband and two children and sat in the back so they could see what was going to be served for dinner. When the husband saw the spinach salad I prepared, he automatically hesitated. He kept saying “I don’t like it”. His wife said with embarrassment, “you haven’t even tried it” and put a small amount of salad on his plate.

As I began giving my presentation, I could see him out of the corner of my eye, eating the salad and commenting to his wife.  I thought to myself, could it be that he actually likes it? When I finished with the presentation and moved on to the sugar demonstration, I actually saw him go back to the table and serve himself more salad! I couldn’t believe my eyes. Only 30 minutes ago he was so hesitant and confident that the salad would be something he wouldn’t like, but as it turns out… he came back for seconds. J

I wanted to share this with you because oftentimes people set their minds to believe something negative, or take “appearance” too much into consideration, that they don’t give themselves the opportunity to try new foods. So next time you come across a “healthy” food you think you won’t like… Go for at least “one bite.”   Is that too much to ask? You didn’t know you liked cupcakes until you tried them! Trying new foods help lead to a lifetime of healthful eating!

By Eye so green

By Nancy Juarez, Skinny Gene Bilingual Nutritionist

During  the course of our lives, we go through many stages, whether it is childhood, adolescence, or the transition to becoming an adult. But there is one thing that NEVER changes – the love and support from our FAMILY.

Over these last several weeks, I have encountered different ways in which I affect the lives of not only these wonderful individuals I have the pleasure of working with, but their families as well. For me, this is a way of giving a piece of myself to make the world a better place. Keeping it true to the saying “even the smallest things can make the biggest difference.”

At each appointment, I have the chance to ask every patient how their week went. I enjoy these opportunities to get to know a little more about each of them and gain a better understanding of what’s going on in their lives.  During my normal chat with Alice, I learned something interesting. Something I’d like to now share with you.

From the very beginning, Alice has done extremely well in the program. She’s shown her dedication to improving her family’s health in addition to her own. Her family consists of herself, her husband, and 6 children. As you may know, this is quite a handful!

Alice makes the time to continue with the program and apply what she learns at home. Creating a healthy home is particularly important for this family of 8. Her son has suffered from high blood pressure since he was small. Alice had been to many doctors to try to find an answer to this problem, since the main contributing factors (which are weight and heredity) are not an issue in her family.

This week she came in extremely happy. She was happy to report that her son has had his blood pressure controlled during these past few months, solely based on what she had taught him!

Alice’s son isn’t the only one in the house that is benefiting from Alice’s healthy lifestyle changes. Her mother, who has had an extremely difficult time losing weight in the past, is amazed by her own weight loss. Even Alice’s husband slimmer waistline is feeling the effects of this new healthy home. It’s apparent, that in this house anyway, health is contagious!

It makes feel so accomplished to know that Skinny Gene is not only making positive changes in Alice’s life, but also her family’s.

And it brings me to want to share this quote with you from the Dalai Lama “With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.”

This makes me feel that not only am I helping an individual person, but we are helping make the world a healthier place one person at a time.

What More???

That amazing sense of knowing you can do or get anything you want? Well, having the opportunity to be a part of this transition gives me that feeling each time I meet with these 15 inspiring individuals.  Being involved in their lives made me see a different part of myself which I never knew I had before. So I would like to begin by sharing with you a little bit of what these people have given me in just the few weeks I’ve worked with them in the program. They each reward me in different ways – some are talkative, funny, charismatic, while others are shy – but they all bring out the best in me. Since our main goal with the Skinny Gene Project is to prevent diabetes, I would like to share with you the stories of two of my patients that have experienced change with diabetes firsthand.

MEET RACHEL

Rachel has been gaining weight for the past 3 years due to a thyroid problem. Doctors told her since this is very hard to control; she should monitor her weight for the years to come. When Rachel first met with me she was so discouraged, she would tell me, “I don’t want to continue gaining weight. My legs and back hurt. I want to play with my daughter while she is still young.”  As her daughter grows up, Rachel wants to be able to keep up with the normal physical demands of being an active mom.

She was skeptical about being part of the Skinny Gene Program; she didn’t want to get her hopes up about losing weight. Her husband had just been diagnosed with diabetes and had been having very high blood sugar levels. I encouraged her and assured CHANGE was going to occur and for the better. She began to change her eating habits radically, and began exercising everyday encouraging her husband to do the same as well. The other day I received a phone call from Rachel and as I answered I heard “Nancy! I am at a clothing store and I now fit into a smaller size!”  Having completed one month of the program, Rachel has now lost 6 pounds and has dropped 1 clothing size! Not only is she motivated, but as a result of her making healthier choices her husband has now been able to cut back on insulin since his blood sugar level is now under control. Rachel and her husband are now beginning to walk 3 miles each day at the park, while their daughter plays nearby. Not only is Rachel feeling better about herself, but her family is adapting to this new lifestyle by not only making a change, but starting to make it a habit.

MEET JESSICA

Jessica is an older woman, who has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. Her doctor told her that if she controlled her blood sugar levels (which she has at 250 and 300); she might be able to get off insulin. During our first appointment, she was really depressed about being diagnosed with diabetes, which was a huge life changer for her. During the following weeks she began telling me, “I feel better every morning I wake up, knowing I am doing something for ME.”  She had spent the last 30 or more years of her life concentrating on just working but not taking care of herself and what she needed. Jessica has been in the program for a month as well, she has lost 10 pounds and her blood sugar levels have dropped! If she continues with this progress, she will be able to get off insulin sooner than she’d thought! Jessica has been following the nutrition plans and has incorporated a little more walking into her daily lifestyle.  This last appointment she told me, “I feel so much better; I have more energy throughout the day, and can finally accomplish my everyday tasks from start to finish.”  She will continue to go to the doctor regularly and I will keep you updated on her progress.

These are only two of the stories of the marvelous people I work with, but I will keep you posted about each milestone that each of them reaches, or just comments or facts they have found interesting! But for now as the song says “I Feel Gooood!”

Your Body’s Talking, Are You Listening?

Great Things Happening for Skinny Gene in TX

]]> https://skinnygeneprojectnew.dreamsites.io/loose-a-little-gain-a-lot/feed/ 0 Your Body’s Talking, Are You Listening? https://skinnygeneprojectnew.dreamsites.io/your-bodys-talking-are-you-listening/ https://skinnygeneprojectnew.dreamsites.io/your-bodys-talking-are-you-listening/#respond Tue, 08 Jun 2010 04:12:52 +0000 http://skinnygene.wordpress.com/?p=419 Update (6/07): What’s happening with our Skinny Gene Diabetes Prevention Program in San Antonio

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL IN THEIR OWN WAY

At the Skinny Gene Project, we provide a personalized approach to helping others live a healthier lifestyle. Each person in our program is special to us. We pride ourselves in getting to know each person (from stay at home moms to successful businesswomen), understanding their needs, and giving them the individualized attention needed to live a healthier life.

Our personalized approach to positive lifestyle change is particularly important when it comes to the wonderful group of people we’re serving in San Antonio.

Here’s a glimpse into the work we are doing in Texas.  

Every two weeks, I meet up with my patients for about an hour to talk to them about how to make little changes in their diet that can really make a BIG difference. This particular time, I began to teach each person how to listen and understand their body’s needs.

LESSON 1: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

Previously, I had given each patient a task of completing a 7-day food log, to see what, when, where, and how much food they ate on a daily basis. I then compared their food diary to what their body REALLY needed. We generally refer to process as a nutrition analysis.

Now… knowing what a person needs to change, and explaining it to them are two completely different things. Some my next step was to give each person a personalized presentation on “Understanding And Listening To Your Body.”

As the presentation began, I started explaining different metaphors on how the body works. For example, comparing our bodies to a car. Much like how a car requires fuel to run, our bodies need food to function. Our body sends us signals when its fuel source is running too low or too full. We also talked about the body’s “fuel gauge”. So when our body is hungry, or may be close to (E) empty, we begin to experience symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or grouchiness.  When the body can no longer take any food, just like when cars have reached (F) full, we may begin to feel symptoms such as being bloated, gassy, or tired. These metaphors make it easier to understand how the body works when compared to everyday life.

What we need to learn TODAY to have a healthier TOMMORROW  

After discussing how our metabolism works, I  began showing each person (individually) their total nutrition needs (calories, fat, sodium, carbohydrates, etc). Every patient was in SHOCK when they realized that what they had been eating was so harmful to their body, in comparison to what their body truly needs!  They were surprised about what they had learned, but they were also pumped up and knew they wanted to make some serious CHANGES in their lives.

APPLICATION: EATING BREAKFAST

After the presentation, each patient was weighed. They were given a diet that contained their specific caloric intake needs and their weight loss goal! Their main objective for the week was to concentrate on eating BREAKFAST— I taught them that it is the MOST important meal of the day!  I showed them examples of healthy breakfast options, whether they had time to cook or were on the go.  I also had the opportunity to go through a shopping list, which ranked foods from levels 1- 4; level 1 being foods you could eat several times a day, and level 4 foods you should eat very infrequently and with extreme caution.

Each patient was asked to bring any additional nutritional labels that they would like to be included in their special Skinny Gene grocery list for the next appointment. I really stressed the importance of drinking more water and trying to make exercise a daily habit. They left the clinic motivated and excited to start using the information that we provided to them.

Each of them wants to become a new person; they want to look good and feel good, on the inside and out. To make this transformation, they’re ready to start living a better and healthier life!  

By doing this I am helping them have a better understanding on what they need to do TODAY to have a healthier TOMMORROW.  

I am really excited to see my patients next week!

Stay tuned for more updates….

Thank you for your vote and support of the Skinny Gene Project. We are so happy to announce that we were rewarded for our hard work on Wednesday night, April 7, 2010.

As you may know, the Skinny Gene Project was one of many non-profit organizations being recognized this year by Influence San Diego (#influencesd). The intent of this awards program, sponsored by NBC San Diego, was to acknowledge and recognize various local organizations that utilize social media and technology to create awareness of their efforts in the San Diego community and beyond.

On the last day of voting, our organization moved from 3rd place in popular votes to 2nd place, rising from a total of 125 votes to 183 votes – yes, 58 more votes in one day! Although the Skinny Gene Project had already reached finalist status by being among the Top 5 non-profit organizations in terms of votes, this extra spike allowed for increased exposure and may have even had some influence on the decision made by the judges. Only one of the top five nominated organizations from each category would be selected by a panel of judges who are experts in social media and technology, including a Wiki expert, a well-known technology which is used by websites such as Wikipedia.

Attendees of this sold out “Red Carpet” night, sponsored by NBC San Diego and broadcasted on TechZulu, gathered at Anthology, a music venue in downtown San Diego, for a night to remember. The event consisted of good food and wine, music and comradeship, and of course the long-awaited announcement of the winners of the coveted InfluenceSD sculptures symbolizing “a job magnificently done.”

Sam the Cooking Guy, a local celebrity, announced our category and we held our breath and felt pride in knowing that we were second in the popular vote and had many supporters who cared enough to make that possible.  Then, in an almost surreal moment, he announced, “The winner of Non-Profit of the Year is…the SKINNY GENE PROJECT.” (see pictures of the venue site on http://www.anthologysd.com/gallery-venue.html, or if a member of facebook, see the event at www.bit.ly/SGPfacebook )

Richard, one of our biggest supporters, called it a “Cinderella story.”  We were being recognized among 4 other outstanding non-profit organizations in San Diego: San Diego LGBT Community Center, Keep a Breast Foundation,Museum of Making Music, AND Pug Rescue of San Diego County.

In terms of size, we were definitely the runt of the bunch. The top contender with the most number of popular votes has an 18-member board of directors (vs our 7-member board), employs over 40 paid-staff (vs our one paid-staff, one Registered Dietitian, and several as-needed nutritionists to provide individualized care for our members), has more than 600 community volunteers (vs our 5 volunteers) and was established over 35 years ago (vs our almost 2 years).  We were thrilled just being in the same category with the “Big Boys!”

This honor not just reinforced the idea that the little guy can achieve great things, but has fueled our passion to continue fighting and believing that although young, we are leaving a mark on this world.  We are making a positive impact on the lives of people we support during their personal battles to protect themselves and their families from this Silent Killer. 

According to one of the judges, what influenced their decision was the fact that the Skinny Gene Project has only been publishing content since July 2009, and the organization already has an impressive presence in the community. Another contributing factor may have been that our efforts were picked up by an established online portal, as AOL News published our press release about how our non-profit organization was being recognized for using social media.  (see www.bit.ly/NPOrec)

The judges were so impressed by the local organization that they now intend to branch beyond San Diego and will host a national program, for which the Skinny Gene Project, as a local award recipient, will automatically be nominated.

We are more dedicated than ever to improve our social media presence and spread our mission to educate, empower and prevent diabetes.

Follow the Skinny Gene Project and help us out in any way that you can. Whether it’s a cash donation or volunteering your time, you can make a difference in our efforts and the people we touch.  As we can attest, even something small can make a big impact.
