Hiki ke ana ʻia kou pae koʻikoʻi ma ka Richter Scale. ʻO ia ka pule ma mua o ka Kalikimaka, no laila he zillion ka poʻe ma ke kahua mokulele. Ua lohi kāu lele. Ke uē nei nā keiki. Ke uē nei kāu kāne. ʻO ka pōloli, ʻike ʻoe i ka mea kūʻai meaʻai kokoke loa a kauoha i ka hīnaʻi $12 o nā manamana moa me nā fries.
Aia ma laila? Hana ʻia kēlā? ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i ke olakino ma ke alanui he mea paʻakikī ia no nā huakaʻi hoʻomaha. ʻO ia kekahi o nā kumu nui e loaʻa ai i nā kānaka he mau paona hou ma waena o ka Thanksgiving a me ka Makahiki Hou.
ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi ke koi nei nā mea kūʻai aku i nā koho meaʻai hou aʻe i ko lākou lele ʻana - a ke pane mai nei ka ʻoihana, wahi a Renate DeGeorge, ka luna hoʻomalu o nā lawelawe meaʻai no HMSHost, e hana ana i nā hale ʻaina ma mua o 100 mau mokulele honua.
I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua hoʻololi ʻo HMSHost i kā lākou mau menus, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā ʻano saladi hou, hāʻawi i nā papa hummus ma ke ʻano he mea ʻai a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka palaoa palaoa piha no nā sandwiches.
"Ke hāʻawi nei ka hapa nui o nā wahi i nā koho olakino like ʻole ma kahi āu e kū ai, i hiki i kēlā me kēia huakaʻi ke loaʻa kahi mea a lākou e ʻimi nei," i kākau ai ʻo DeGeorge ma kahi leka uila.
Eia ʻelima mau ala e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻai pono i ka lele ʻana i kēia kau hoʻomaha:
Loaʻa kahi hoʻolālā
ʻIke ʻoe i kou manawa haʻalele, ka manawa hōʻea a me ka manawa āu e - manaʻolana ai - i ka wā hoʻomaha. E hoʻohana i kēlā papahana e hoʻolālā i nā meaʻai piha i ka lā.
"ʻO ka meaʻai ma ke ʻano maʻamau ka calorie like me ka nui o nā meaʻai," wahi a Charles Platkin, ka mea hoʻokumu a me ka hoʻoponopono o DietDetective.com. Akā inā ʻoe e ʻai i ka meaʻai maoli, "e loaʻa ana iā ʻoe ka meaʻai kūpono ... a e manaʻo ʻoe i kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka māʻona."
No ka laʻana, inā haʻalele ʻoe i ke kakahiaka nui, e hoʻolālā e ʻai i ka ʻaina kakahiaka ma ka home. Inā ʻoe ma ka mokulele i ka wā ʻaina awakea, e hoʻoholo i kāu mea e ʻai ai i ka lewa ma mua o kou hiki ʻana i ke kahua mokulele. Inā lohi ka ʻaina ahiahi no ka pae ʻana o kāu mokulele ma hope o ka hola 8, e ʻai i ka ʻaina awakea i hoʻopiha ʻia i ka protein a me ka fiber i mea e hoʻomaha ai ʻoe.
I ka palapala ʻana i kāu mau meaʻai, e hoʻomanaʻo e hoʻomākaukau no ka hiki ke hoʻolei ʻia kou manawa a/a i ʻole kou wahi e ka lele lohi a i ʻole ka pilina. ʻO ia ka mea e alakaʻi iā mākou i kā mākou ʻōlelo aʻe ...
E ʻike i kāu mokulele
I kēlā me kēia makahiki, nānā ke Kōmike Lapaʻau no ka Lapaʻau Pono Pono i nā meaʻai i lawelawe ʻia ma nā mokulele ʻoi loa o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ma 2012, ua ʻike ka hui ma ka awelika 76% o nā hale ʻaina mokulele e kūʻai aku i hoʻokahi mea momona haʻahaʻa, kiʻekiʻe-fiber, cholesterol-free meaʻai meaʻai.
I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole kūpono ke kumu "ʻaʻohe mea olakino e ʻai ma ke kahua mokulele" (e kala mai).
Nā hale ʻaina mokulele ma Newark, New Jersey; Las Vegas; a ʻo Detroit paha e hāʻawi i kahi koho olakino, e like me ka hōʻike PCRM, ʻoiai ʻo Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport a me Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport i pae i lalo o ka pae o ka hui no ke kolu o ka makahiki i ka lālani. No laila inā e hele ana ʻoe ma D.C. a i ʻole Atlanta, e hoʻopaʻa i kahi pāʻina olakino ma mua.
E ʻike i kāu mokulele
Hoʻopuka ʻo Platkin i kahi noiʻi noiʻi meaʻai makahiki e hoʻonohonoho ana i nā meaʻai a me nā makana lawelawe meaʻai mai ka hapa nui o nā mokulele nui.
"Ke hele nei ʻoe ma ka mokulele, ʻaʻole nui kāu koho," wahi āna. "He poʻe pio ʻoe a hoʻokumu i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe e pono ai nā mokulele."
Ua loaʻa iā Virgin America a me Air Canada nā hōkū ʻehā ma ka pūnaewele Platkin no ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā koho olakino he nui a hāʻawi i ka ʻike calorie no nā mea kūʻai. Paipai ʻo Platkin i nā pahu meaʻai a Virgin - e like me ka meaʻai protein me ka hummus - a me Air Canada's Roasted Chicken Wrap me ka salsa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i kāna mau ʻōlelo paipai no nā mokulele ʻē aʻe ma aneʻi.
E koho naʻauao
ʻO ka hapa nui o mākou he manaʻo maʻamau i ka mea maikaʻi no ko mākou kino (kahi pā huaʻai) a me ka mea ʻaʻole (he pā kokoleka nui). ʻO ka hana ʻana i nā hoʻoholo akamai ka hapalua o ke kaua.
ʻO ka hapa ʻē aʻe ke ʻike i kahi e waiho ai nā pōʻino huna. Hoʻomaopopo ʻo Platkin i ka poʻe kūʻai aku e makaʻala i nā mea a pau e hele mai me ka ʻuala, inā he ʻaʻahu salakeke, ka mayonnaise ma luna o ka sanwiti a i ʻole ka caramel dip no kāu mau ʻāpala. Hiki i kahi punetune keu ke hoʻohui i nā calorie pono ʻole.
E makaʻala nō hoʻi i nā meaʻai meaʻai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e like me nā ʻōpala a i ʻole nā pahū pahū i kiʻekiʻe i ka sodium. "E ʻimi i nā mea i ko lākou ʻano kūlohelohe," wahi āna.
ʻO ka mea nui, e pale i ka meaʻai palai, wahi a DeGeorge. ʻAʻole maikaʻi nā mea a pau i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka ʻaila wela no kou olakino, ʻoiai inā ua like ia me kahi mea kanu.
Pack no nā pilikia pilikia
Hoʻopaʻa mau ʻoe i nā lole komo ʻē aʻe i loko o kāu lawe ʻana, no laila, no ke aha e ʻaʻole ai i kekahi mau meaʻai maikaʻi ʻē aʻe?
"Hoʻohaʻahaʻa pinepine mākou i ka nui o ka manawa e hiki ai i kahi huakaʻi ke lawe," kākau ʻo Platkin ma kāna pūnaewele. "He ʻehā a ʻelima paha hola o ka holo ʻana i ʻelua hola."
ʻOiai ua kaupalena ʻia ka wai, hiki ke lawe ʻia ka hapa nui o nā meaʻai ma o ka palekana, e like me ka Transportation Security Administration. Paipai ʻo Platkin i ka cereal maloʻo e like me ka palaoa i ʻoki ʻia, nā pahu ikehu a i ʻole nā sanwia ʻoki anu. He maʻalahi hoʻi nā huaʻai a me nā lau ʻai maka e hoʻopaʻa a lawe ma luna o ka moku.
