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.
Goodbye Mr. Chips
Did you know that the average one ounce bag of regular, salted potato chips contains 155 calories, over ten grams of fat, of which over three are saturated, and 150mg of sodium?
The average American eats over one hundred bags a year. Do the math, and it works out at around seven pounds of chips a year.
A much better option would be the pairing of hummus and some pita bread. Each pita has under a hundred calories, and less that one gram of fat. Hummus is one of the healthiest dips you can choose, and it tastes darn good too!
