Eating Right By Making Small Changes
January 17th, 2012
Making the switch to healthy diets doesn’t mean you have to throw out everything in your kitchen or pantry that has a gram of fat or added sugar. You can make some big changes that get you closer to healthy eating plans just by doing some small things.
For instance, forget the bun or bread when you’re eating something that is considered a sandwich or burger. Chicken salad still tastes like chicken salad when eaten out of a bowl or on top of a salad.

The facts from the CDC are as follows. Read the rest of this entry »

Good Nutrition Is Unpopular In The Morning
January 9th, 2012
Which foods do you think of as the most popular breakfast foods?
Cereal, pancakes, eggs, muffins, breakfast bars, oatmeal.
Only a couple of those options could be considered diet food, and that’s only if they are eaten in specific ways. And who wants to have the exact same healthy eating plan every single morning?
