Food Network’s Claire Robinson Discusses Healthy Eating….And Chocolate

January 15, 2012 by Lolli

It’s getting down to the wire for that dreaded time of year: New Year’s Resolutions. Despite our best intentions, most of us seem unable to keep these goals we have set for ourselves! Food Network Challenge and 5 Ingredient Fix host Claire Robinson is available for interviews with bloggers on Friday, January 6th to give you some great tips for avoiding frustration and meetings your New Years goals (without having to give up foods you love, like chocolate)!

Celebrity chef and Food Network star Claire Robinson offers tips on how to make resolutions that you actually want to keep – everything from how to make healthier eating choices to tips on establishing what matters most for your upcoming year.

Some of Claire’s healthy living tips include:

  • GET EDUCATED TO MAKE HEALTHIER EATING CHOICES – A common mistake is that people make drastic decisions (such as instantly turning vegan) that are difficult to keep. In order to make healthy choices last for the long-term, you must make taste a priority.

 

  • GET INVOLVED – Make a commitment to give back to your community, focusing on an organization or project that you feel passionate about to kick off the new year.

 

  • CREATE A BUILT-IN REWARD SYSTEM – To reinforce your long-term health goals, you should implement a built-in reward system that allows you to celebrate the small victories and keeps you motivated.

 

Here are the questions that I asked Claire:

1 – I have always had a sweet tooth, but I am trying to be more conscious of what I eat. How can I satisfy my sweet tooth but keep my healthy-eating goals?

2 – What are some tips to maintain your healthy-living goals past the first month or two of the New Year?

3 – Do you have any recipes that incorporate chocolate that you could share with our readers?

Claire answers my questions in this video just for 5 Minutes for Mom:

More About Claire Robinson:

Claire Robinson combines her passions for food and television in 5 Ingredient Fix, a Food Network series featuring delicious eclectic recipes made with five ingredients or fewer. She believes the best dishes feature carefully selected fresh foods with distinct flavors and a straightforward cooking style that also promotes healthy and seasonal eating.

Claire also joined Food Network’s primetime lineup as the host of Food Network Challenge (as of April 2010), bringing her culinary knowledge and passion for the iconic show to its brand-new set and providing minute-by-minute details of the thrilling challenges.

 

Note: This post was sponsored by Dove. They sent me a basket of chocolate, too. I decided to share a little with my kids…

    Pretty much what is said above..I used to train a lot and the only thing that really helped was the diet. Actually it is 50-50 (training – diet plan).
    Good luck all..

Also eat right, without denying yourself an ocassional indulgence , and probably most importantly, keep a positive mental attitude and accentuate the good things in your life.

    When making changes to your diet, don’t cut all your favorites out at one time. If you do it gradually, you’ll be able to replace them with healthy foods and not miss them so much. I find that giving myself one junk snack on the weekend helps me have something to look forward to. I just have to walk that extra mile on the treadmill! 🙂 Thanks.

    If you, like me, don’t like a lot of the vegetables you should eat, then try green smoothies. I do them with a lot of sugar free flavoring and I don’t even taste the veggies.

    As a two-time breast cancer survivor , I ‘ve tried to maintain a baseline routine that includes drinking lots of water, eating a balanced (but not insanely strict or neurotically inflexible!) low fat/low sodium diet – eating as much FRESH food as possible..

    I TRY to spend 15-20 minutes on a HealthRider or Istationary bike (in Winter) at least 4 times a week and/or walk 1–2 miles daily.

    Recently, my Honey/Hubby and me have started adding organic Chia seeds to some foods and fruit juice and starting the day with a banana and either a glass of low-sodium V-8 Juice or Green Tea with lemon & honey.

    All that said – we still adore CHOCOLATE – especially seductively divine DARK Chocolate – which we consider to be the ultimate nourishment for heart (as in soul) and spirit!

    A great healthy living tip is to start slow. It can be very overwhelming to change your entire lifestyle all at once. Select one thing this week; eat more fruits and vegetables, then select another next week; exercise 3 times per week, keep on going in this manner. This way you allow yourself to slowly adapt to these changes, and chances are you’ll stick to it.

    My healthy living tip is to save your calories for food and don’t waste them on sugary, calorie-riddled drinks, like soda and fake fruit drinks. I’d rather eat than drink my calories. Use real fruit to flavor your water instead.

    Healthy living tip to live by: Don’t say that you are going to completely quit junk food. Most people have a sweet tooth (I have a few); I just don’t overindulge but when the snack attack hits, I give in. Otherwise, I tend to eat more trying to find something to satisfy that craving and wind up giving in in the end anyway.

    I allow myself one carbonated beverage a week. I drink a lot of water, but I crave pop (I’m from the midwest!), so I don’t deny myself pop, but I do limit it. This prevents me from stopping at fast food places just for a pop, but every once in a while, I allow myself a treat!
