Slimming Salads

Eat foods like lettuce, spinach and zucchini which contain a high percentage of water. More water means fewer calories for the same weight of food. Good news for your waistline.

Trans Fat

Created when hydrogen is added to liquid oil and turned into a solid fat. Found in shortening, stick margarine (stick margarine is more hydrogenated than soft tub margarine), baked goods like doughnuts and muffins and French fries.

Did You Know?

Populations with diets that include significant amounts of fish regularly have lower rates of heart disease than do populations with diets that feature other kinds of meats.

Brown Rice Benefits

Brown rice is light tan in color because it still has the bran covering. It provides more fiber than white rice, which has had the bran covering removed.

Check the Sodium

  • Buy low- or reduced-sodium instead of regular chicken broth, soy sauce, cnned foods and prepared pasta sauces.
  • Rinse canned veggies and beans before using.
  • Cut added salt in half or leave it out completely.
  • Instead of salt, use a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice or a splash of high-flavored vinegar.
