Man, Why didn't I think of that?

Have you ever sat back and think, "Man, Why didn't I think of that?"


Well, this month's issue of 'Prevention' it discusses the 400 calorie fix. Here is what they recommend,for permanent weight loss. Eat four, 400-calorie meals to get your body into a healthier weight. Obviously, if you are heavier, nursing, or need more than 1200 calories, you would up your meals to 5, 400 calories meals a day! Sounds pretty simple to me...as well as it sounds like something you can do and plan ahead with.


1. Learn to eye ball portions. Did you know the size of a tennis ball is the size of 1/2 cup of fruit.
2. Spot Hidden Fat & Sugar: Choose sugar free alternatives as sugar can easily sneak into your meals and load them with unexpected calories.
3. Split your plate into six ways: 1 for protein, 2 for grains, and the remaining 3 portions are fruits or veggies.


When standing in line at the grocery store, pick up and browse page 85 of the 400 calorie fix. Also, a few pages further you can find many good meals for 400 calories or less!
