IF YOU ARE CRAVING COOKIES BUY JUST ONE MEDIUM COOKIE: NOT A PACKAGE
Keep in mind, that there are many fairly large cookies that can rack up between 150 to 500 calories. All of us have a different estimation of what we consider medium or large..Read the calorie counts.
WILLPOWER HAS TO BE BUILT
We all have one mouth, a nose, two eyes and 2 ears, but some of us have willpower and others do not..IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE BUILT. There is a constant struggle of being able to control the amount of food that we eat or having food coax us to overeat...WE CAN WIN!!!
A MEMBER WHO REACHED GOAL MISSED CHEESEBURGERS,FRIES AND COKE
When she asked me if she could fit it in her maintenance program I gave it some thought and came up with the following solution. I told her that going to restaurants like Chili's and Friday's should be taboo for these foods as it could be about 1300 calories for the cheeseburger and fries alone.
My suggestion was to get a junior cheeseburger with a small fries and a diet coke at a fast food restaurant for lunch or dinner no more than ounce or twice a week. It would total about 600 calories for the fries and the cheeseburger. Wendy's has a way to save 90 more calories. Their value fries are only 230 calories rather that 320 for the small fries.
ONE LAST HINT FOR THIS POST
Janice, who comes to my home for a private lesson each week, mentioned that she uses 2% milk that is 130 calories a cup because she does not like skim or 1% milk. Most people do not realize that it is very high in saturated fat. I recommended Skim Plus which has a great consistency and color. I mentioned Skim Plus in a recent post and told my readers that most people visualize that 2% milk means that only 2% of the calories are from fat, but the realization is that about 33% of the calories are from fat. She bought it and called to say she loves the Skim Plus.
