De Paoli (left) takes a pinch with Crockett to determine her Nutrition noted Members of Castlegar Sel- kirk Lady Lions recognized National Nutrition Month at a dinner meeting held re- cently. Jacque De Paoli, a regis- tered dietitian, spoke to about 20 members of the group about the role of nutrition and fitness in life time weight control. De Paoli told the women that the average North American goes on at least one weight loss diet per year and averages 12 such at- tempts over a lifetime. Unfortunately, as the stat- istics indicate, most of these attempts are unsuccessful, she said. De Paoli said weight loss goals and ideal body weight should not be determined by the seales alone. Body com- position (per cent of body fat and musculature) is as im- portant as body weight in securing long-term weight control and lowering the risk for disease. De Paoli added that there are registered dietitians at each of the area hospitals.
