Weight Loss Tip #241 Whipped cream cheese makes a healthier replacement for butter. Two Tablespoons of whipped cream cheese (regular - not low fat) contains about 60 calories while one Tablespoon of most butters contain about 100 or more calories. Whipped varieties of certain products can assist the dieter in a big way when it comes to weight loss. Whipped versions of butter, cream cheese (and even whipped frosting) smooth on thinner than their packed counterparts saving calories and fat. Weight Loss Tip #242 1 medium sweet potato will satisfy you longer than 1 large cookie for about the same number of calories. If that cookie comes from Starbucks, it probably contains 6 times the calories as your average cookie (over 600 according to their nutrition chart which I asked to review while visiting during coffee-time). Weight Loss Tip #243 FAT GRAM GUIDE FOR DIETERS
Weight Loss Tip #244 Bagels are low in fat, low in calories, are filling and fun. Try preparing your next lean sandwich on a bagel - then cut in half and share. Weight Loss Tip #245 Parsley & Apple Cider Vinegar for Allergy Relief - Suffering from allergies? Chewing on fresh parsley may help reduce that miserable feeling and may even help clear up an allergic rash. Another cure that I use is Apple Cider Vinegar - about 1 Tablespoon in four ounces of water, three times per day. Weight Loss Tip #246 Sugar Free Gelatin for Weight Loss - Enjoy your favorite sugar free gelatin in its liquid form rather than gelled. An entire small box contains a scant 40 calories and is ultra filling, as well as healthy. Your nails will also get a boost from your Gel Feast. Weight Loss Tip #247 Nixing Nuts for Weight Loss - Cuts the nuts in half when making your favorite recipe. Odds are, the only thing that will miss them are your new slender hips. Although healthy, nuts tend to be high in calories in relation to size. The good things are - nuts are healthy, and again - it only takes a few to bring out a rich, nutty goodness when baking. Weight Loss Tip #248 Remember the cute little saying for Diet Motivation: " Through the lips and to the hips...." Before you cram anything through those lips, stop and think, " Do I REALLY want this food? Is it healthy? Is it worth those few short minutes (sometimes micro-seconds) of enjoyment?" Weight Loss Tip #249 Rather than drown your meat in high-calorie, high fat glazes that are also expensive, get fruity instead! Start by cooking a few strawberries, peaches - or your favorite fruit in the microwave. Remove and add Splenda or a spoon or two of sugar to suit personal taste. Add additional spices if desired and pour over your meat. Tangy diet goodness! Using sugarless OR low sugar jams, jellies and preserves to glaze meats and vegetables is also a healthier diet alternative when compared to gravies and bar-b-que sauces that are high in calories and contain little, if any, nutritional values.
