Eat Your Way to a Healthier Life.

1. Did you know that eating 2 less cookies a day about 150 calories and walking 2000 more steps a day could help you lose 2 lbs a month?  That's 24 lbs a year. Wow!

Here are some place to visit to help with healthy food choices, carbohydrate counting and nutrition information.

Start by Learning How to Read Food Labels. Learn about good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates and how to count carbohydrates. 

How do you know how many steps you walk in a day? Treat yourself to a pedometer a simple devise that counts your every step.

 2. Did you know drinking diet soft drinks can cause you to gain weight and that the same is true if you eat fat free or fat reduced foods? 

3.  If you  don't want to drink just plain old tap water, coffee or tea, you can find bottled waters  plain or naturally carbonated in natural lemon, lime or other flavors. They are a good replacement choice with 0 calories and no artificial ingredients.

4. Read labels.  That fat free product is mostly likely high in carbohydrates.  Learn which fats are healthy fats  and should be included in your meal plan.
