Fast Food French Fry Tip for DietersYes, I know that when dieting, French fries should be taboo - but as Diet Bites so often states, the current methods in place for dropping pounds are not working. Inserting moderate amounts of favorite foods into the daily diet keeps the dieter in familiar grounds. While a too-relaxed diet can lead to disaster, a mood-relaxed diet is stellar. Now for that zippy dieter's tip - a very healthy one at that: Lycopene. You've probably heard it mentioned recently on the television, in commercials, in print and in the news. This powerful antioxidant is abundant in ketchup. Therefore, dip, dip, dip! One caveat: If you are watching sodium intake, both French fries and ketchup should be approached with caution.
