Weight Loss Tip #361 Use Mother Nature's containers to enjoy soups and other diet-wise foods. OR - hull out a small round of bread for soups for a fun dining experience. That's one of the keys to weight loss - keep it fun! Weight Loss Tip #362 Watch non-diet beverages as these calories can really add up. A glass of sweetened tea, a soda and a serving of juice add up quickly to over 500 calories. Weight Loss Tip #363 If you have never tasted a pomegranate, you are in for a sweet treat that is low in calories and low in fat. And if you're a seed-eater, pomegranates hold a good deal of fiber. Eating the seeds that are centered in juice-filled cells is totally option. So how do you eat a pomegranate? Peel off the red, leather jacket. Oooh - this sounds a bit sexy, doesn't it? Next, peel away any of the white membrane that cocoons the fruit 'cells'. Remove the cells and pop into your mouth. If you don't like the seeds, then do as you would watermelon seeds. Pomegranates are beautiful in salads and also make a luscious juice. Be careful of the dye as it may stain. Pomegranate Calories - About 50 Calories per 3 ounces which is about 1/2 a medium pomegranate. Weight Loss Tip #364 Calorie-free is going to be a bit difficult to find in your pantry or fridge, but the following food comes pretty close: 1/2 cup of watercress - 2 calories Weight Loss Tip #365 For added breakfast nutrition, include a fresh fruit selection to enjoy with your breakfast. Fruit is dandy over candy - and strengthens your food chain to help accelerate weight loss.

Weight Loss Tip #366 Rigid nails? You may not be getting enough fat in your diet. Many dieters make the drastic mistake of totally banning fat from their diet. Dietary fat is a necessary element to over all good health. Opt for the healthy oils - such as olive oil. Weight Loss Tip #367 Does potty time sink or swim? If you're experiencing a sinking ship, up your fiber intake. Weight Loss Tip #368 Fast Food Tip: Two regular tacos from Taco Bell contain less than 300 calories. Another great taco stop when it comes to calories is Jack in the Box. Two of their regular tacos contain about 380 calories. Weight Loss Tip #369 Does Sugar Cause Diabetes? Incorporating an abundance of sugar-filled foods in the diet will not cause diabetes. In layman's terms, food is energy; energy is sugar. Everything we eat is processed by the pancreas, 'our food processor'. In diabetics, the 'food processor' is broken and the body requires medication to help 'boost' the pancreas. Although obesity is linked to diabetes, there are many individuals who have never seen an 'overweight day' in their life. Remember, diabetes is a disease of the pancreas. Many diabetics are middle-aged and overweight, so there is a definite connection - but being overweight and middle-aged isn't the only Diabetic Indicator. Many times, Type II diabetes can be controlled through diet and moderate exercise. Weight Loss Tip #370 Fast Food Tip: Subway's veggie sub contains about 240 calories. It's a great fast food option that is low in fat and calories - yet tastes delicious while leaving you feeling full and satisfied. Makes a great choice for Dinner-Time Dieters.
