If we could only begin to think of all food and all beverages as energy, the world just might be a thinner place.....

Everything that we put into our tummies comes in the form of calories. While some foods are skinny on the calories, some weigh heavily.

And without knowing the ingredients, guessing the number of calories in a particular processed or restaurant-prepared food can be next to impossible.

A great deal of the guess work can be removed when natural foods are involved. Most contain consistent amount of calories. It's quite hard, if not impossible to change a banana or a peach or cherry or an apple in their natural form.

But we can take that banana or peach or cherry or apple and turn them into Calorie Monsters in a flash.

And when it's all said and done, many individuals would be just as content - if not more content when presented with a sweet, delicious apple or a bowl of sweet dark cherries over a slab of apple pie or cherry cobbler. Add a couple of squirts of fresh whipping cream and we have a dessert fit for any Diet King or Diet Queen!

So the next time that you're faced with temptation, think before leaping. Would you be just as content with a bowl of fresh cherries as you would the cherry cobbler which contains more than five times the amount of calories?

Or you could think, "How much energy does my body require?"
