Healthy Living

On April 9th, the Ladies of LAM hosted a Healthy Living food demonstration at the Warren Civic Center with Chef Jim Kokenyesdi. Chef Jim and his team shared tips and samples of foods prepared with healthy ingredients. It was a wonderful and educational afternoon for all that attended. Check out the recipes below. Bon appétit!

The Caloric Balance Equation:

When it comes to maintaining a healthy weight for a lifetime, the bottom line is – calories count! Weight management is all about balance—balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses or "burns off."

  • A calorie is defined as a unit of energy supplied by food. A calorie is a calorie regardless of its source. Whether you’re eating carbohydrates, fats, sugars, or proteins, all of them contain calories.
  • Caloric balance is like a scale. To remain in balance and maintain your body weight, the calories consumed (from foods) must be balanced by the calories used (in normal body functions, daily activities, and exercise).
If you are... Your caloric balance status is...
Maintaining your weight "In balance." You are eating roughly the same number of calories that your body is using. Your weight will remain stable.
Gaining weight "In caloric excess." You are eating more calories than your body is using. You will store these extra calories as fat and you'll gain weight.
Losing weight "In caloric deficit." You are eating fewer calories than you are using. Your body is pulling from its fat storage cells for energy, so your weight is decreasing.
