THE MEAT & POTATOES DIET

Take a quick glance at the following table and think clearly as you ask yourself these questions, "What is the healthier choice?  Does my body really need to be packed with this type of food?  Are the calories that I save, and the health benefits that I reap worth the sacrifice in taste?  And, what really does taste better?  Have I trained my tastebuds to fit the standards of today's cooks?  Would I really enjoy the simple food better than the unhealthy offering that's been weighted down with cartons of butter, pitchers of cream, globs of oil and jars of camouflaged unvirginic fat?"

In fact, you could achieve weight loss by simply dumping all the condiments that are currently laced into your daily diet!  

So the next time you eat, before you place that goody through your lips, make sure that it's something that you want to do.  You may just discover through a little trial and error that you actually enjoy the goody much better without all those additional additives, additives that don't add anything of value to your diet, only unwanted pounds.

And if you can't get back to the basics, please try the healthier, lower calorie alternatives such as substituting mustard for Mayo.
