Tarchcr, Inc.). These handy tips are easy to follow and the results wont disappear after the first week of the New Year along with other resolutions. Cut down, not out: Do you drink too many caffcinatcd beverages, eat a lot of sugar, or go directly to fried food? Instead of trying to give them up (and failing), begin by reducing the amount. Adding half decaffeinated coffee to your regular brew will cut your caffeine intake in half. Share a dessert with a friend, instead of eating a full portion. Carbos , not fats: Surprising as it may seem, pasta, potatoes, rice and bread will keep you thin. Its the butter and the cheese you put on them that puts extra weight on you. Fats contain almost twice the calorics of carbohydrates! Love vour greengrocer Eat at least one good serving of vegetables a day. They provide you with some of the fiber we know can be helpful in preventing disease, and theyre filled with important vitamins and minerals. Steam a variety of vegetables and keep them on hand to add to your GReeTDogs FROM Casfleview Hospital spaghetti sauce for a quick pasta d Or make extra vegetables for another meal (Chinese food always tastes better the second stir-frie- day!). More fish and fowl: Red meat, some kinds of cheese, heavy sauces and chicken skin will keep the pounds on you and could lead to high cholesterol. Replace red meat with broiled chicken (no skin) and fish, which help you stay cheeses lean and healthy. Eat low-flike farmer cheese and part skim mozzarella. Fish is a healthy choice (even fatty fish like salmon, which has been found to lower cholesterol. Eat what you want: When you eat more whole grains and fewer fats, and have vegetables in your diet every day, you will tend to find sweets and fatty foods less attractive. You can still eat the less nutritious foods, but do so only when you really want them and eat only as much as it takes to satisfy your taste buds. (Have a few French fries instead of a whole portion.) Dont finish a dessert if it doesnt taste as good as you think it should. Once youve restored yourself to a nutritional balance, your body will ask for what it needs to stay healthy. And the increased energy you feel may be all the encouragement you need to help you keep those New Years resolutions all year long. -- rift gy cm mvmrfwwi MERRY GHRISTMAS no time quite like the holidays for rememberins the friendships we cherish.
