CHANGING YOUR DIET (Nutrition)


How about a nice, small salad in place of that heaping plate of spaghetti?

Yeah, right.

One way to start your change is to simply cut down on what you eat. You can still have that spaghetti you love, but try smaller portions…and adding that small salad.



Fruits and vegetables should also be added to your diet.

Just simply not eating is not only dangerous but also not realistic.

Again, remember: small steps!!


ABOUT JUNK FOOD…

Junk food is one of the major contributors to our weight problem.

They are empty / useless calories!

We have to get over our obsession with all the junk food.

What we don’t want to do though, is to send our body into shock by stopping it cold turkey.

Wean yourself off of it. Instead of 10 cookies at a time, try 8…then try 6…gradually.


Oh yes, and please try and give up that soda! Talk about tons of sugar and tons of empty calories!!

If you “need” the carbonation, try a sparkling water instead.

Note with giving up soda: many people, when they cut out soda, will have headaches for a few weeks. That is due to the fact that you are cutting out both sugar and caffeine. The headaches should go away, but please consult with your doctor!
