| Lose weight by balancing food intake with this helpful downloadable booklet.
An excellent guide to the nutritional aspect of weight loss.
This booklet is broken into the following sections:
-
Energy In VS Energy Out
Example: After age thirty our metabolism slows down about five percent every decade (10 years), therefore we have to decrease our food intake by that much just to stay even.
-
Portions, Fiber, and Sugar
Example: Lowering blood sugar. Fiber improves glucose tolerance and can reduce or postpone your need for insulin.
-
How To Read Nutrition Labels
Example: Food labels provide nutritional information for a typical single serving rather than for the entire package or can, unless, of course, that makes up one serving. The serving size is an important measurement, since not all people eat the same amount of food at a single sitting.
-
All About Fats
Example: Cook onions, green peppers, and other vegetables in a litle broth instead of sauteing them in fat. Add garlic powder and onion powder to enhance flavor.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Eating a healthful diet doesn't have to be complicated; simple changes to your eating habits can make a difference, and this booklet can show you how!
