 Downtosize 10 years ago | I also am recovering from a fall and the only “exercise ” I can do is to use my walker and walk around the house. I have to be very careful not to fall because I am often off balance. I do some leg exercises in bed. |
 Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Hi, Wendy. So sorry to read about your fall. If you’re munching, try to make sure your kitchen has healthy items on hand that still meet the general pattern of your menu. The following are some ideas:
• Fresh and dried fruit
• Cut raw vegetables
• Oven-baked vegetable chips
• Nuts and seeds
• Trail mix combinations of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit
• Sandwiches – good breads with nut butters, hummus and similar spreads, tahini, canned or smoked fish, cheese, homemade “cold cuts” from fresh meats, egg salad, etc.
• Whole grain or Paleo crackers plus any of the above
• Hard-boiled eggs
• Sliced or string cheese
• Cottage cheese
• Yogurt
• Milk (dairy or vegetal), plain or flavored with cocoa powder and a recommended sweetener
• Hearty soup in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. meat or legume, vegetable, whole grain)
• Hearty smoothie/shake in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. fruit/vegetable, dairy/vegan, seeds)
• Edamame or other legume/pulse snacks
• Whole grain or Paleo cereal or granola (cold in small sealable bag, cooked in thermos)
• Canned beans
• Prepared healthy foods in containers – from leftovers or prepared the night or weekend before.
• Homemade whole-food muffins or bars
• Popped grains, i.e. organic popcorn, sorghum, quinoa |
 wendytrm 10 years ago | I just joined and in my third week but last week I fell down my living room stairs and not able to do my workouts now. I’m trying my best to keep with the program but it’s hard when you don’t even want to get up and move to cook ANYTHING so you munch. |
