Weight Loss Tip #491 You can have 2 corn tortillas for about 80 - 100 calories rather than 1 small flour tortilla. A small flour tortilla contains about 110 calories. For a buttery no-calorie taste, spray the corn tortillas with no calorie butter spray, then pop into the microwave until hot. Roll before heating if desired. Weight Loss Tip #492 Mexican Food & Weight Loss - When dining Mexican, load your chip with as much salsa as possible. Salsa is generally very calorie and diet friendly. It's the chips that contain fat and a lot of empty calories - most of those, empty calories. Weight Loss Tip #493 Time of Day Eating for Weight Loss - Make breakfast the largest meal of the day when dieting for dramatic weight loss results. Why so? Your metabolism has been in idle-mode all night long - if you are a day person that is. That first bite of food in the morning sets your metabolism into gear - into the burn-mode. Weight Loss Tip #494 Lite Syrup for Weight Loss - When eating pancakes, use lite maple syrup that has been warmed. Log Cabin makes a very tasty light maple syrup. Save even more calories by passing over the butter and opting for the no-calorie, refrigerated butter sprays. It only takes a few shots to get to, "Oh yeah!" Syrup is one of the highest calorie food additives around with some syrups weighing in at 230 calories per 1/4 cup. Keep in mind that 1/4 cup equals about 2 Tablespoons.....not much syrup for so many calories. Weight Loss Tip #495 Add fresh fruit sprinkled with Splenda/Equal to your pancakes and you'll use less syrup. Weight Loss Tip #496 When enjoying pancakes, rather than make one big pancake, make several tiny silver dollar pancakes. It may not be more, but it looks like more and more is nice when dieting. Weight Loss Tip #497 When baking, omit the yolk and use 2 whites or use egg substitute. In addition, use skimmed milk and if your recipe calls for buttermilk, simply make a reduced fat homemade version by adding a bit of vinegar to skimmed milk. About 1/2 teaspoon to one cup should suffice. Weight Loss Tip #498 Enjoy breakfast foods for either lunch or dinner. Many foods that are considered breakfast foods are packed with great taste, vitamins - and they are simply unique! Take an egg 'fried' sunny side up in buttery flavored, no calorie, non stick spray. What a beauty! Add a couple of slices of microwaved bacon, a slice of wheat toast and oh my, are we still dieting, or what? Oh yes, we are! Weight Loss Tip #499 Taste-Testing Food & Weight Gain - Gaining weight but unable to identify the culprit? If you're the Chief Cook & Bottle Washer, do you find yourself often tasting the foods that you prepare? A taste here and a taste there can wind up on the hips and thighs, particularly if it's a cheesy or cream-based recipe. Keep taste-testing to a minimum. Allow others at the table to add their personal preference of salt and pepper - one of the main reasons connected to taste-testing in the kitchen. Weight Loss Tip #500 Dieting 101: Best exercise for great health and weight loss which can be done at most any age and enjoyed by most everyone? Walking! Get on your dogs, grab the dog leash, and get moving. Every mile you cover, you'll burn about 100 calories, depending on your current weight and metabolism.
