2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
Junk Food May Be Addictive
We all know that junk food such as Ho Hos, sausages, and bacon are not
good for you. But now a new study by the Scripps Research Institute
in Jupiter, Florida, also found that rats given unlimited access to
these high-fat, high-calorie junk foods became compulsive overeaters.
And just like cocaine or heroin addicts, the pleasure pathways in their
brains became less and less responsive the more the rats binged, forcing
the rats to consume more junk food just to get the same amount of pleasure.
"This is the most complete evidence to date that suggests obesity
and drug addiction have common neurobiological underpinnings,"
said study coauthor Paul Johnson of Scripps.
These rats continued to want more junk food even when they were given
an electric shock, classic addiction behaviors, according to the researchers.
Even more startling, when the rats were fed a nutritious diet instead
of junk foods, the obese rats refused to eat for two weeks, even though
they were starving. The researchers concluded that "their dietary
preferences [had] dramatically shifted."
The results, presented October 20, 2009 at the Society for Neuroscience's
annual meeting, may help explain the changes in the brain that lead
people to overeat and become obese.

3. HOW TO MAKE 2010 YOUR BEST YEAR EVER-PART I
By Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, RD, CSP
No matter what part of nutrition you're in, it's getting more competitive
every day. Mastering the following eight strategies will help you thrive
in tough times, and may even make 2010 your best year ever.
1. Get paid less
Yes, you read right! I said less! Why? Because if you get paid more
than you are worth, you will be out of a job real soon! It's elementary,
Watson! In our capitalistic society you must generate more worth or
value than you receive, otherwise the system will go kaput. Besides,
"golden handcuffs" make you a slave. What you want to do is
give your employer more than she expects. Start right now. In the long
run, you will be compensated according to the value you deliver. I have
designed an elegant lapel pin to remind myself of this concept at all
times. The 111% pin comes with a card which reads:
Give 100% and you'll survive.
Give 110% and you'll thrive.
Give 111% and you'll MAKE it a Winning Life!
Here is a little exercise that will keep you on track. Compute your
weekly pay, add about a third for benefits, and divide by five. Put
the value you just computed on a 3x5 card or a Post-it note and place
it where it is clearly visible to you several times a day. At the end
of each day, ask yourself: Did I generate $x of value today? If your
typical answer is "yes" keep on-keeping on. If the answer
is "no" more than 50 percent of the time, it's time for you
to look around and figure out how you can add more value.
2. Value yourself
Who is your most important patient, client or customer? If you said
me, you got the right answer. This is super important because I've found
that most nutrition professionals are really great taking care of others
however often forget #1. Want proof? Ask anyone in sales what it takes
to be a sales superstar, and they will tell you that you've got to love
what you sell. Notice I said love, not like! Even though you are probably
not in sales, as an RD or DTR you sell yourself all the time! You sell
yourself, your ideas, your proposals, your beliefs etc. to your patients,
boss, spouse, children and even your pet. And for you to be able to
do that successfully you've got to value, like and even love yourself,
because if you don't have it you can't give it away! So start right
now to love yourself the way you are, not the way you ought to be. (Read
that again-it's a biggie. It took me about 35 years to master!) That
means that you have been able to turn off that internal negative voice
that keeps focusing on all your weaknesses. And begin to recognize that
of the more than 6 billion people on this earth there is not one perfect
person! All of us are a composite of strength and weaknesses. And the
trick is to value yourself for your strengths and forget your weaknesses.
And if you can't forget them, then team up with someone who compensates
for your weaknesses.
3. Chase your passion
When your opportunity clock rings in the morning are you anxious to
get up and go to work? (I believe that starting your day alarmed is
counterproductive.) Are you excited to be in your profession? Do you
love what you do? Does work seem like play to you? Do you actually look
forward to work, at least four out of five days each week? If the answer
is yes to all of these, count yourself fortunate because you are part
of a very small minority. If your answer is no, it's time to find and
switch to your "dream job." Don't have the skills or the education
to do what you love to do? Keep your current job, and make time to get
what you need to be successful in your new profession. Watch less TV,
go to fewer ball games, pay any price, and make any sacrifice, just
do it! Then start working part time in your dream job. Can't find someone
to pay you for it? Volunteer. Once you are certain that you have found
your passion, give up your day job. Not getting paid as much as in your
former job? Not to worry. Just stay with it. I've learned after 40+
years of employment that overnight success takes a long time. But I've
also learned that once you chase your passion, not your pay, you will
have more fun and make more money, much more money than you have ever
thought possible. Why? Because if it is fun, it gets done! Want proof?
Look for the people who have made it to the top in their profession.
I bet you that virtually all of them love what they do, have lots of
fun and are compensated handsomely.
4. Identify and pursue your fire-in-the-belly goals
It's been said that if you don't know where you're going, the last thing
you want to do is get there any faster. And yet most people have absolutely
no idea what they want to get out of life. Since this is a new year,
write down three, "fire-in-the-belly," life time goals for
yourself. Prioritize these, and then put them on two 3x5 cards or Post-it
notes. Put one on your desk or Day Timer, and the other on your bathroom
mirror. Then get busy visualizing and internalizing these goals. (If
they are running inside your head like a perpetual movie loop, you've
got it). Follow that up with a detailed step by step action plan that
will get you to where you want to go. Now, work that plan. (If you would
like more help with this, read my popular "How to Maximize Professional
Potential and Increase Your Earning Power in Nutrition and Dietetics"
CPE program. It is approved for 30 CPEUs and Chapter 3 provides you
with all the tools and forms you need to transform your dreams into
reality--http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/cepd.html#C187)

you need to master to help you make 2010 your best year ever.

6. HUMOR BREAK
A woman meant to call a record store, but dialed the wrong number and
got a private home instead. "Do you have 'Eyes of Blue' and 'A
Love Supreme?'" she asked.
"Well, no," answered the puzzled homeowner. "But I have
a wife and nine children."
"Is that a record?" the caller inquired, puzzled in turn.
"I don't think so," replied the man, "but it's as close
as I want to get."
