- Making Diet Choices That Positively Impact Your Weight Loss Program - Diet. It's the scariest
four-letter word that I know.
That's the problem with 'Diets'. They
are all so scary - no fun, no fun at all.
And that's one reason they so
often fail. If you're serious about losing weight, then you must make
it fun! And hoppy! Click

All humor comes at the expense of another person's
discomfort.
But if we can't laugh at ourselves, how can we appreciate

Nutrition
Facts - Calories Per Serving
One of the
most important pieces of the Nutrition Fact Label is
the calories per serving. Once the serving size
has been determined, then jot down the calorie amount
on your daily diet tally sheet.
Did you
make a good diet choice? A healthy diet choice?
Was it worth the calories? Was it satisfying?
The way that you answer all of these questions
can help you in your weight loss journey.
Next time
you plan your diet menu, you can fall back on the knowledge
that you gained through these questions - as well as
the information on the Nutrition Fact Label and use
it wisely.
For example,
peanut butter may be high in calories (about 200 per
serving size), and high in fat but it offers a good
deal of protein and it stays with you for a long time.
Oatmeal (about 150 calories per serving size)
is also a great food with high satiety powers without
the high fat. Eggs also tend to leave a person feeling
full and satisfied for a long while for about 70 calories
per egg.
Examples
of Foods With Long Satiety Powers
Potatoes,
whole grain breads, oranges, apples, fish, porridge.
Examples
of Foods With Short Satiety Powers
Cakes, cookies,
candy, donuts, bananas, cornflakes, white rice, white
pasta, yogurt.
Every calorie
counts.
Calories
add up fast - and you'll want to include every one that
you consume to ensure quick - yet safe weight loss.
