Weight Loss Tip #231 Restricting your daily fat intake to less than 30 grams per day can generate serious health consequences. Our bodies NEED fat for healthy skin, healthy hair, healthy nails, and to assist in breaking down the foods we eat. Weight Loss Tip #232 Rather than cutting off a hunk of cheese, wipe out the 'Calorie Guesswork' by enjoying a stick of skimmed string cheese. You'll save calories and fat without sacrificing that cheesy taste. Please note that string cheese presents a choking hazard for young children so check with the pediatrician before giving to a child. When eating the string cheese, be sure to pull it off a tiny thread at a time, as it was intended to be enjoyed this way. In addition, the goody will take a lot longer to enjoy. Weight Loss Tip #233 You don't have to spend a lot of money to get started on the road to fitness. Five pound bags of potatoes or milk cartons filled with sand substitute well for free weights. To get the most benefits from your workout routine, exercise every other day. Weight Loss Tip #234 Flavored Oils - Experiment with different flavored oils to achieve unique tastes to blend into your weight loss plan. Grapeseed oil, oil with peppercorns, oil with rosemary - all lovely and they may even inspire a new tasty recipe for your diet. Weight Loss Tip #235 Flour Tortilla Snack for Dieters - Wrap a piece of lean meat in a flour tortilla for a filling, low calorie treat. Place the tortilla in a moist paper towel and warm for a few seconds in the microwave. Remove and wrap around lean meat. About 125 calories - depending upon the brands used. We used an 80 calorie flour tortilla wrapped around a bit of homemade roasted rosemary chicken. Weight Loss Tip #236 There is a dangerous misconception these days that the more iron in the diet, the better. Unfortunately, that untruth and can translate into serious consequences, especially in situations were young children are involved. What are the symptoms of Iron Toxicity? - Vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and in severe cases, convulsions, drowsiness, metabolic acidosis, shock, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Weight Loss Tip #237 Here's something very interesting that might apply to your life and act as a helpful 'Diet Key' in unlocking the door to Diet Success. Ask yourself this question, " What time of year do you tend to gain weight?" Did you answer, 'The holidays'? If so, that's a very common response. In fact, if it wasn't for the holidays, you may have never faced weight problems. Weight Loss Tip #238 Sugar? Please do. Just limit that loving teaspoonful! (And yes, always measure!) Weight Loss Tip #239 Fat Free Isn't Always Lower in Calories Whenever possible, opt for fat-free products, light products, lite products, sugar free products and reduced fat products. Be sure and check the labels however, because some fat-free items are equal in calories to the regular versions. A good example: saltine crackers. Most fat-free and regular versions contain about 10 calories. Weight Loss Tip #240 The Parent Factor – Encourage your child to drink water, a precious and necessary cleansing agent and a much healthier choice over most sugar-loaded juices which are packed with more sugar than juice OR nutrition. Juice is slowly being recognized by the health world as a contributing factor to weight gain in small children. It's not only high in sugar - but also in calories, as well as gas. And nobody enjoys a collicy kid.
