August 10-14
Have you been reading the serving size on labels? Sometimes its shocking how many servings are in some things. How did you do yesterday with your cereal & berries? I love berries in my cereal, bananas too. I always use soymilk (of course, dairy bad, soy good :)) Did you try it? Tomorrow, try something new with lots of veggies. Debyi
Thurs, Aug 10: Try a new healthy recipe. It should include at least 2 servings of vegetables.
Fri, Aug 11:Toss new greens into your salad! Try spinach, kale, or watercress.
Sat, Aug 12: Get 25 grams of fiber. It will help to keep you full & keep your digestive tract healthy. Here is a sample: 1/2 cup fiber one cereal (14 grams), 1 cup of berries (8 grams), 2 cups of spinach in a salad (1.5 grams), 1/3 cup kidney beans (3 grams), 1 oz of peanuts (2 grams), 1 medium apple (4 grams). That gets us to 32.5 grams of fiber! See how easy?
Sun, Aug 13: Omit 100 empty calories from your diet today. That is just 2 cookies, one slice of bread or 8 oz of cola or fruit punch. (Over the year that will result in a 10 pound weight loss.)
Mon, Aug 14: Eat a good source of lean protein at each meal. Example: egg whites with breakfast, sliced turkey breast or tofu with lunch & fish or chicken with dinner.
