At her heaviest, Bambury weighed 299 pounds. She's 5 feet, 5 inches tall. The Liverpool mom said she lost 11 pounds in her first week on the Cambridge diet and 28 pounds in the first month. The extreme eating plan — developed in the 1960s — relies on the consumption of calorie-controlled products like shakes and soups. "I had tried dieting countless times, this time though, I was determined to stick to it," Bambury said. More than two years later, Bambury has kept the pounds off.

"Pumpkin seeds are a great source of tryptophan, an amino acid that supports mood regulation by aiding in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with feel-good feelings," one dietitian said. The American Heart Association recommends consuming two servings of fish a week, particularly fatty fish. Eating at least two servings of avocado a week has been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends consuming 4½ cups of fruit every day — oranges have been shown to aid brain health because they are rich in vitamin C. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming 1 1/2 cups of dark green vegetables a week. A small, three-week 2022 study conducted in South Korea found that participants had better moods after eating 10 grams of dark chocolate with 85% cocoa content three times a day. https://nypost.com/2024/05/13/lifestyle/dietitian-reveals-5-easy-cheap-recipes-for-packed-lunches/#respond Mon, 13 May 2024 14:11:38 -0400 2024-05-13T17:17:43-04:00 https://nypost.com/2024/05/13/lifestyle/dietitian-reveals-5-easy-cheap-recipes-for-packed-lunches/ Tracy Swartz https://nypost.com/?post_type=article&p=32039791 0 Vegetarian pita bread with hummus and vegetables on dark background, top view, copy space.

UK dietitian Lucy Jones is sharing her easy recipes for 10-minute meals, a plant-based lunch, a low-carb salad, hot and cold lentil options, and budget-friendly sandwiches. Jones proposes layering hummus, veggies such as cucumber slices, tomato wedges, and strips of bell pepper, and feta cheese in a whole wheat pita. Jones is also fond of buddha bowls — one-bowl meals that are typically plant-based. Low-carb diets have been shown to lead to weight loss, blood sugar stabilization, improved blood pressure, and less inflammation. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, lentils are a good source of B vitamins, folate, iron, and potassium. TikTok has fueled a tinned fish craze that has caused cans to fly off the shelves over the last two years.
