Dieticians deliver tips for healthy weight
Weight is a top nutrition concern
of Canadians. While dieting is a
popular remedy for weight loss
decades of research have shown that
diets are not effective for long-term
health and weight control. Dietitians
of Canada is taking a more positive,
solution-based approach to healthy
weight for the March 2005 National
Nutrition Month® Campaign. Go
the Healthy Way!
“Long-term weight management
and good health can be achieved by
getting off the dieting bandwagon,
focusing on enjoyable physical
activity, tasty, healthy foods and
feeling good about yourself,”
explains Mary Sue Waisman, RD,
National Nutrition Month
spokesperson for Dietitians of
Canada. “A healthy lifestyle isn’t
difficult, painful or time-consuming.
To make your efforts successful, the
foods you eat and the activities you
do must be enjoyable, so it becomes
a daily habit. Small gradual steps
over lime are the key,” she
continues.
Dietitians of Canada is launching
the Healthy Way Challenge at

fun and effective way to fuel your

at Feb.15 meeting
knowledge about healthy weights
during Nutrition Month®.
Starting on March 1, a series of
four weekly on-line challenges will
be introduced giving participants the
chance to win great prizes and learn
about healthy living. The challenges
include a crossword puzzle, finding
clues for healthy living “on the go”,
a scavenger hunt, searching credible
websites to find answers to popular
questions about healthy living, Tips
to “Go the Healthy Way”, submit
tips for healthy living and read the
success stories of others and an
Eating + Activity Tracker to assess
your daily food and activity choices.
In preparation for the 2005
National Nutrition Month®
Campaign, Dietitians of Canada also
conducted an on-line poll with
consumers asking them to share their
thoughts about healthy eating, active
living and weight. A total of 1,566
Canadians completed the poll,
providing Dietitians of Canada with
a strong indication of the issues,
attitudes, concerns and information
needs that Canadian have regarding
healthy weight.
Some of the intriguing poll
findings are:
• While the majority of respondents
are actively “trying to eat in a
healthy way”, nearly half of those
intending to make change fail to
maintain it for an extended period
of time.
• Respondents find it easy to make
healthy food choices when they are
in controlled situations, such as
work, school or eating alone, but
find it difficult to make healthy
choices when they have food
cravings or during holidays or
special events. Lack of time and
incentive to cook also present
challenges to eating well.
• An overwhelming percentage of
respondents replied that the most
important factors helping them
decide if they had a healthy weight
were “how they felt” and “how
their clothes fit”. Of much lower
importance were using weight for
height charts and monitoring their
weight on the scales.
• Half of the respondents said it
was “difficult” or “very difficult”
for them to be at a weight that was
comfortable for them.
• Ninety per cent of respondents
agreed or strongly agreed with the
statement “If I eat well and
participate in daily activity, I will
be able to have a healthy weight”.
The Nutrition Month® slogan Go
the Healthy Way...Eat Well, Live
Well and Feel Great! reflects the
positive, personal, feel good focus
that dietitians are emphasizing to
help people achieve their personal
goals.

The hearts and flowers will be left
behind the day previous when
Huron County councillors tackle the
problem of slashing their budget at
their Feb. 15 committee of the
whole meeting.
East Huron councillor Joe Seili
served notice of tough negotiations
when he said every program, even
those where the province picked up
80 per cent of costs, needed to be
examined. “A 20 per cent increase
(in taxes) isn’t going to cut it,” he
warned.
Other councillors debated whether
council needed to examine every
budget on a line-by-line basis. “We
shouldn't micro-manage by going
through line by line,” said Dave
Urlin, councillor for South Huron.
“This is why we hire good
managers.”
But fellow South Huron
councillor Ken Oke said that despite
having good managers, councillors
still needed to go through all
programs to examine costs.
Treasurer David Carey reminded
councillors that staff had been
instructed to use zero-based
budgeting on three departments
each year. “Over three years you
will see the whole budget in detail,”
he said.
***
One place the county can look
forward to savings is through the
elimination of the cost of paying for
the services of the Owen Sound
Intake Screening Unit for potential
Ontario Works clients. The county
paid $30,000 annually (half
subsidized by the province) for this
unit to conduct initial telephone
interviews with those applying for
assistance. If the client seemed
acceptable, they were then referred
to the local social services office.
This unit will be discontinued
June 15 and the work will be done
by existing county social services
staff.
***
Council officially adopted the new
official plan for North Huron and
repealed the original official plans
for Blyth and East Wawanosh.
***
Councillors approved
participating in the Doors Open
Ontario which will take place in
Goderich and Blyth May 28-29 from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The county council
chambers will be open for people to
tour and councillors are invited to be
on hand to explain the workings of
county government. The main court
room of the courthouse will also be
open to allow people to learn more
about the court system.
