four-letter word that I know.

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

Nutrition
Labels & The Serving Size Amount ©
One of the
most important pieces of the Nutrition Fact Label is
the recommended serving size amount.
Most of
us tend to grab a bag or container, pop it open and
then enjoy. We're hungry, by gosh! This
isn't a reading class! And then a day or two later,
that bag of potato chips, that box of sugary cereal
and even that 'healthily mix of fruit and nuts is suddenly
pasted onto our backsides, evidenced by the rocketing
numbers on our weight scales.
Even the
healthiest of foods can suddenly become unhealthy when
consumed in vast amounts.
If necessary,
use a set of measuring cups and spoons until you master
'eyeing the correct serving sizes'. Enjoying the
correct serving size equates to a smaller clothing size
and/or a healthier you.
When grabbing
a snack, choose the ones closest to nature for the healthiest
'picks'.
Also keep
in mind that most Nutrition Fact Labels are based on
a 2,000 calorie diet. If you're a small person
OR if you're a larger than average sized person, take
that into account and adjust your serving size.
Another
important dietary point regarding Nutrition Fact Labels
is that because most involve processed foods, the contents
may satisfy a small portion of our nutrients. While
we're filling up on calories and many times, fats -
our nutrient requirements remain empty.
Although
strawberry jam is delicious and supplies nutrients,
it can't come close to fresh strawberries for calorie
and vitamin content.
