Don’t Ruin Your Salad or Your Waistline
Many of those creamy salad dressings pack a huge penalty in calories and fat. Some are as high as 170 calories per two tablespoonsful, and almost 20 grams of fat.
The best dressing for a salad?
Go for something that’s olive oil based.
Here at TGFC, when we’re at home, we make our own. The juice of a lime, a little cane sugar, some olive oil, and some mixed herb. Just make enough for what you need right now. Mix it up, and leave to stand for an hour if you can, for the flavors to mingle.
Much healthier than most of the junk in a bottle you find on supermarket shelves!
Fattening Foods When Out
Funnel Cakes
Deep fried dough covered in sugar! What could be worse for your figure, and for your body in general really?
Around 800 calories for the average serving, and a huge amount of fat.
Corn Dogs
Laden with fat and sodium, and well over 1,000 calories apeice, it’s another ‘better to be missed’ on the go snack.
Chilli Cheese Fries
Fat, salt and calories galore in these. Best to be avoided if you’re trying to be healthy and/or shed a few pounds.
Local Diet
Forget all those expensive fancy fad diets. Lose 30lbs in a month? Who are they trying to kid?
The average sustained weight loss is about two lbs per week over time. Some weeks you may only lose a lb, other weeks perhaps you’ll lose three lbs.
You’ll find that the flavors of really fresh fruit and vegetables, farm-fresh new laid eggs, lean meat direct for local farms, and locally baked whole grain breads, will have you eating a bit slower, which will make you fill up on less food.Still one of the best ways to lose weight is to eat good tasting food. Instead of consuming bland salt and fat and preservative laden convenience or fast food, why not try out your local Farmer’s Market?
You see, your brain doesn’t tell you you’re full until about twenty minutes after you’ve eaten, so when you scoff down that 1,500 calorie huge burger and large fries, it’s not until those twenty minutes have passed, that your stomach tells your brain that you’ve eaten too much. Eat slower, and you will be fuller on less!
