Wow, it sure is a gloomy day- where is that sun? Come back, please!
Well, while the sun is away and April showers are trying to bring us those May flowers, I thought I would chim in on some nutrition. I didn't go to school for nutrition, let alone even have a class on it! (Shocking I know....why wouldn't they make PE teachers take that- I think they should) Anyways....here is what I found in the April issue of 'Health' magazine...which I may add, is a GREAT read!
7 foods that fight fat!
1. Eggs: 78 calories. Loaded with protein. Eat two for morning, and they will keep you full and satisfied that you end up cutting out 330 additional calories throughout the day.
2. Dark Chocolate: 170 calories One more reason to indulge. A small amount will help satisfy you that you won't want more sweet, salty treats later.
3. Pine Nuts: 95 calories: heart healthy fatty acids boost hormones making your feel full.
4. Cheese: 76 cals. Fresh goat cheese or feta; helps you feel full & helps you burn fat!
5. skim milk: 86 cals. filled with proteins...and helps burn fat!
6. oranges: 59 cals. believe it or not; fiber! Those who eat fiber; have less flab!
7. Potatoes: 161 cals. high carb spud typically gets a bad rap- but should be a dieters BFF...more filling than 3 pieces of white bread! Plus, the startch helps burn body fat!
Keep up the good work all; make wise choices- this is such a long journey; but together; we can motivate each other to get to that goal! I've said it before; I'm here if you need me....but I'm not going to chase after you all and pry...so, please come knocking on my door (or facebook) if you need me!
Good job reading my post! :-)

Oh how I SO agree with the eggs, and potatoes. Seriously a baked potatoe with fat free sour cream and a little bit of part skim mozz cheese. YUM and it is a meal all on it's own. I usually eat this after a work out so I can burn the starches and all, but it is good to know that i was actually doing something good when eating the potatoe. LOL! Thanks for the wonderful article, now if only I liked dark chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteOh and another thing...it is good to know that fiber helps fight flab, but seriously with the amount of fiber i eat I shouldn't have one ounce of flab on me...but i do! LOL!
ReplyDeleteA good Fiber Cereal I have discovered is All-Bran Bran Buds (made by Kellogg's). It has 51 % daily fiber. I put it on top of my Greek Yogurt in addition to a little honey and some sliced fruit and it is so filling! High in protein, fiber and lots of vitamins! I may have told you guys about this before.
ReplyDeleteHere's a quote from a book that I'm reading which is really helping me. The book is called "Fit for the King." It says: "No food can taste as good as you're going to feel." Think about that the next time you're thinking about biting into something tempting!
