Weight loss can be maintained by avoiding fast
foods.

post from self growth your way on 26 September 2007 11:28:00 PM. © self growth your way

It is a very common fact that habit of eating fast food can lead you to gain weight and if you are planning to shed it then you have to avoid it.
But for fast food lovers there is a way to enjoy their favourite food with some precautions. And away from home when you don't have any choice for healthy eating you can go for fast food restaurants but be choosy and keep in mind:

** Keep portion sizes small. If the fast-food restaurant offers several sandwich sizes, pick the smallest or order half a sandwich, if available. Bypass hamburgers with two or three beef patties, which can pack more than 1,000 calories and 70 grams of fat. Instead, choose a regular- or children's-sized hamburger, which has about 250 to 300 calories. Also, skip the large serving of french fries or onion rings and ask for a small serving instead. This switch alone saves about 300 calories. Or better yet, select a lower calorie option.

** Choose a healthier side dish. Take advantage of healthy side dishes offered at many fast-food restaurants. For example, instead of french fries choose a side salad with low-fat dressing or a baked potato. Or add a fruit bowl or a fruit and yogurt option to your meal. Other healthy choices include apple or orange slices, corn on the cob, steamed rice, or baked potato chips.

** Go for the greens. Choose a large entree salad with grilled chicken, shrimp or garden vegetables with fat-free or low-fat dressing on the side, rather than regular salad dressing, which can have 300 or more calories per packet. Watch out for high-calorie salads, such as those with deep-fried shells or those topped with breaded chicken or other fried toppings. Also, skip salad extras such as cheese, bacon bits, croutons and fried chips, which quickly increase your calorie count.

** Opt for grilled items. Fried and breaded foods, such as crispy chicken sandwiches and breaded fish fillets, are high in fat and calories. Select grilled or roasted lean meats ? such as turkey or chicken breast, lean ham, or lean roast beef.

** Have it your way. Don't settle for what comes with your sandwich or meal. Ask for healthier options and substitutions. For example, ask for reduced-fat mayonnaise or mustard on your sandwich. Or at a fast-food Mexican restaurant, request salsa with your meal instead of shredded cheese and nacho cheese sauce. Try to avoid special dressings, tartar sauce, sour cream and other high-calorie condiments.

** Watch what you drink. Many beverages contain a large number of calories. For example, a large soda (32 ounces) has about 400 calories. Instead, order diet soda, water, unsweetened iced tea, sparkling water or mineral water. Also, skip the shakes and other ice-cream drinks, which can contain more than 1,000 calories and all of your saturated fat allotment for the day.

These 6 points are suggested from "Mayo Clinic Staff", which is a medical education and research foundation (MFMER). Mayo clinic is a non profit medical practice dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of virtually every type of complex illness. Mayo clinic team of 2,500 physicians and scientists deal in medicine - patient care, medical research and academic education.

post from The Nutrient Rich Blog on 26 September 2007 07:59:00 PM. © The Nutrient Rich Blog

Posted By Joel FuhrmanFrom Disease-ProofThe two primary essential fatty acids are linoleic acid, an omega-6 fat, and alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fat. The body can make other fatty acids, called nonessential fats, from these two basic fats. Linoleic acid’s first double bond is at the location of its sixth carbon, so it is called [...] Tags: Disease Proof

Carbohydrate Cravings

Greetings to all,My name is Andrea & I don't want to be sad anymore.I feel as if everyday is a MONDAY! I am diabetic, very uncontrolled due to my intense cravings for sweet carbohydrates. My PCP doesn't want to talk about the possibility of me being addicted to carbs and tells me to cut down on the grams of carbohydrates I consume daily. EASIER TO SAY THAN TO DO. If I don't start the day with carbs I am okay. Just one bite can lead to a day of over+++consumption!I am 5'5"/235lbs/BMI40 and my PCP will not agree to the LapBand procedure.Agreed to an insulin pump on 08/07/07 and I have yet to use the device!What can I do & where can I receive the necessary information to control my carb cravings? Which in turn would lower my bloodsugar, decrease the need for the insulin pump and a few hundred other things that won't fit on this page!Thanks so much for your time and attention to my inquiry, positive someone here has an answer or suggestion or a phone number.
