Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2011 7B Part I1:/00 __JL C-FORCE HEALTH AND FITNESS CHUCK NORRIS . info@creators.com Last week, I began to answer a reader's question about in- creasing our self-control in an overindulging holiday season. I gave the first six points of my pie- to post-game meal strategy in overcoming the consump- tion warS, particularly as it re-. lares to Thanksgiving feasts and leftovers. (Please go to cre- ators.corn to read Part I if you did not catch it.) I covered priming the holiday pump with da'fly positive men- tal input, hydration, nonalco- holic beverages, butter alterna- tives, healthy hors d'oeuvres,' lowalorie side dishes, etc. Here are my remaining nine points for gaining victo- ry over holiday gorging: --ff you're making a leafy salad, dump the typical ice- berg or ronaine lettuce for a la,s00u0000'ing turk00',)' temt00tatic,n', ... saves another 60 calories." If you remove the turkey skin, you'll save even more calo- ries. And don't use turkey fat or giblets in gravy. Instead, use fat-free turkey broth or packet (powdered) gravy. Al- so, stuffing cooked outside the normally do. As many Euro- peans do, focus on enjoying the taste more than filling your tummy. In September, Masaaki Eto, M.D., informed delegates at the European As- sociation for the Study of Dia- betes annual meeting that re- fancied mix or spinach. Scrap the croutons, bacon bits and fatty dressings, such as ranch and blue cheese. Instead,. add a crazy mix of colored veggies -- a rainbow of natural nutri- ents, with some black, red or pinto beans, slightly sprin- turkey has half the calories. --Some swear by using smaller utensils, saying we can shed pounds by doing so. With plates, forks and spoons being supersized alongside our appetites, Johns Hopkins Health Alerts cited recent re. search that we will eat less if our shovels (utensils) are smaller. But another new study published in the Jour- nal of Consumer Research discovered that the larger the fork the less people eat. (The rationale is that the brain doesn't believe hunger is sati- ated with small utelasils.) So you'll have to do a little trial for yourself-- maybe with a combination of larger forks and smaller plates! One thing is certain: If you place your utensils down when you're between bites, you will fur- ther belabor your bloating. --Consciously chew your food twice as long as you cent research revealed that extensive chewing fuels the release of two intestinal pep- tides that reduce appetite and food consumption in those who are obese. And if you go for a second helping of food to compliment the chef or ap- pease your stomach's yearn- ings, then you know what to do: Treat yourself to a single serving of one of the lower- calorie entrees on the table. --Respectfully prompt con- versation during dinner. When we talk, we obviously don't eat and allow our stom- achs to expand with what is already inside them. Share and celebrate the holidays. Ask guests what childhood customs they cherished while growing up. Give guests writ- ten facts about the history of Thanksgiving (or Christmas), and ask them to read them aloud. Or talk about health and fitness goals for the holidays. kled with vinaigrette. --Fruit salads are amazing, but allow the vibrant natural colors and tastes of the fruits to market their appeal more than the drippings engulfing them. Few ever will notice that you've junked the Jell-O and cut the calories with light whipped cream. --And regarding that mouthwatering turkey, re- member that white meat means light meat, as it has fewer calories. CBS News, summarizing an interview with registered dietitian Cyn- thia Sass on "The Early Show," said: "ff you love dark meat, going for the drumstick will save you a little -- 240 calories compared (with) 270 -- but because much of what's in a drumstick is bone and (because) it takes longer to eat, you may feel like you're eating more. And you may use less gravy; eating a ladle less z00.ctil;e 00:!uty benefits Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony: I thought I'd try to get this information out again so that veterans might take advantage of a possible increase in their Social Se- curity beneiit. There is a possible extra Social Security benefit for those with active duty be- tween January 1957 and Dec. 31, 2001. See the website and notes below to possibly increase your Social Security benefits. --You may qualify for a higher Social Security pay- ment because of your mili- tary service, for active du- ty any time from 1957 through 2001 (the program was done away with Jan. 1, 2002). --Up to $1,200 per year of earnings credited at time of application -- which can make a substantial difference in Social Security monthly payments upon your retire- ment. --You must bring your DD-214 to the Social Securi- ty Office and you must ask for this benefit to receive it. Social Security website: ssa.gov/retire2/military.ht m. This is something to put in your files for when you applyfor Social Security down the road. --It is not just for retirees, but anyone who has served on active duty between Janu- ary 1957 and Dec. 31, 2001. And guess what? This isn't automatic and the news isn't disseminated automatically by the Social Security Adminis- tration. You have to ask for it. Don't delay, apply for it today! VET TRnx MIKE McLEOD Division Director, Veterans Services I posted this information on the Facebook page for Plumas County Veterans Service and the Indian Val- ley American Legion. How- ever, I was asked about this Nov. 11 at the Greenville Post-game meal strategies --Instead of immediately and lethargically going over to the couches after dinner, encour- age others to take a pre-dessert 30-minute walk with you. You will burn calories while bond- ing with your guests. --And when it comes to dessert, I'm all for nuts,but packing on the pecans can also pack on the pounds. Research low-fat, low-sugar pie recipes. Prefer the pumpkin pie even over apple, and opt for whipped cream toppings o,er ice cream. Sass calculated that "a half-cup scoop of premium vanilla ice cream tacks on an extra 250 calories, as opposed to just 25 for 2 tablespoons of whipped cream." Light ver- sions are even better. --Lastly, because alcohol can be an appetite stimulant, consider just drinking water or coffee after dinner, And if you bypass the eggnog, you'll spare yourself hundreds of additional calories. As the University of Rochester documented, a 12-ounce can of regular beer contains 140 - 200 calories: and a light beer has 100 or more calories. A 4- ounce glass of wine has 62 - 160 calories, and a single shot of liquor has 115 - 200 calo- ries. And 1 cup of eggnog has 343 calories! It takes 2,1.00 jumping jacks to burn off 8 ounces of eggnog! If you heed and utilize these pre- to post-game meal strate- gies, I guarantee you that you will not only gobble more than you gorge but also cut calories and conquer the holi- day consumption wars. And remember this most of all: According to Harvard Health Publications, watch- ing football on TV burns about 70 calories an hour. (Did you read that, Gena?)

The CHP will be keeping a watchful eye on the motoring public as they head out on their road trips during the Thanks- giving maximum enforcement period (MEP), which begins to- day, Wednesday, Nov. 23, at 6:01 p.m. and continues through Sunday; Nov. 27. The CHP reminds all mo- torists: Buckle up, observe the speed limit and don't drink and drive. During the 2010 Thanksgiv- ing weekend, 21 people were killed in collisions throughout California. Among the five ve- hicle occupants killed in CHP jurisdiction, one person was not wearing a seat belt. It's also important to re- member to designate a non- drinking driver before the cel- ebration begins, says the CHP. Last year during the Thanksgiving holiday, CHP made 1,546 arrests for driving under the influence, a nearly 6 percent increase from the same time the previous year.
