2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
Weight Cycling Increases the Risk for Diabetes
In this two year study of 1,000 patients considered high risk of developing diabetes, weight cycles of five or more pounds were found to be statistically significant risk factors for developing diabetes. However, maintaining weight loss for two years reduced diabetes risk and improved cardiometabolic traits.
ACTION STEPS: Help your patients with diabetes become more knowledgeable about safe and effective ways to reduce diabetes risk. When you enter the keyword "diabetes" in the search field at www.easyCPEcredits.com you will find 31 different CPE programs addressing this topic, including our latest Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity, Third Edition, (C255).(See the previous paragraph.)

4. HOW TO MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE--PART II
By Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, RDN, CSP

In the previous eNL I described the following strategies to help you maintain a positive attitude:

  • Start your day softly.
  • Start slowly.
  • Focus on the good stuff.
  • Take advantage of the "throne."
  • Start positively.
  • Exercise.
  • Make yourself laugh
  • Make the most of your commute
  • Give love.

Once you get the day started be sure to:

Use positive greetings. Take advantage of the "fact" that many people want to know how you're doing. They do, don't they? Why else would they say, "How are you?" (Are you chuckling, or are you taking me too seriously?) Right, that's merely a rhetorical question. However, how you respond is very important. Do you answer on autopilot with "Fine"? Or worse, do you reply with: "Not too bad" or "It could be worse"? Or do you forget that it is a rhetorical question, and proceed to tell the other person everything she didn't really want to know? Instead, make it a habit to answer in a positive fashion with "Great", "Fantastic," "Excellent" or, on days when you don't feel quite as positive, with "Good, and I'm getting better!" This strategy will send a positive affirmation to your subconscious and reinforce the positive programming you started in the morning. Because your subconscious is unable to tell fact from fiction, it will accept everything you send it as if it were true. Therefore you are creating your own positive "reality." Also be sure to say farewell in a positive fashion. Instead of using the worn out phrase "Have a good day," remind yourself and others that they are in charge of their lives, by saying. "MAKE it a great day!"

Smile. Find something positive to say to everyone you care about and don't forget to smile. Somehow at the end of the day you will feel much better about the human race, your profession and most importantly about yourself. Why? Because whatever you give is what you get!

Have fun. Make a decision throughout the day that no matter how tough things get, you expect to have fun, because if it's fun it will get done!

Transform your thoughts. Any time a negative thought, anger, jealousy or sadness creeps into your mind, substitute something positive in its place. When you think positively, work seems much easier and enjoyable, and you will be much more energized and encouraged. You also make a better impression on your clients, co-workers and even your boss, which encourages them to think more favorably of you, which comes in handy when your boss has to select someone to promote or lay off. Plus when you think more positively about others, you build stronger and more productive relationships--leading to greater success and satisfaction at work and at home.
Choose to consistently focus on the positive and you will live a happier, healthier and maybe even wealthier life even during tough times.

If you like more in depth help read my Develop a Positive Attitude: Live a Healthier and More Productive Life CPE program. It is approved for 10 CPEUs and is available at http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/C230CPEcourse.html..

Here is what one customer had to say about this powerful CPE program:
"I found the study guide extremely helpful. It was exactly what I needed after having 2 children to get me thinking again about my career in dietetics. Thank you"
--Amanda Nanks, RD

5. HEAR WOLF "HOWL"--I MEAN SPEAK
Recommend me to the meeting planner of your upcoming state or local dietetic association and I will help make your next meeting a "howling success." As a way of giving back, I speak to ADA groups at significantly reduced rates.

6. HUMOR BREAK
Research has found that people who rise early have a more positive and cheerful disposition than those who sleep late.
That's why people sleep late--so they don't have to put up with all those cheerful positive people.
