Speaking as a nurse, I say GOOD FOR YOU, Jen!!!Those are good tips not only for those looking to lose weight, but looking to choose a healthy lifestyle! For those who don't need to lose wt. or may even need to gain wt. like myself, greater volumes of healthier foods is the way to go! You deserve a BIG round of applause, Jen!! Good for you! Noah's Mommy, great advice!
And might I add:
7-9 servings of fruits and veggies...That's right! But, a serving is only about 1/2 cp! 1 8oz glass of OJ is "two servings" of fruit! A nice sized mixed salad at dinner is around 3 servings; maybe 4!
25 Gms. of fiber. And don't be fooled by "wheat bread vs. white." Most "whole wheat" breads have no more nutrional value, or GMs. of fiber, than white. Look for a lot of the Peppridge Farms breads like Country Oat and Nine Grain, and Branola. A whopping 3 Gms.per slice! One medium sized bowl of Post Raisin Bran and you're 1/3 of the way there for the day. And beans, beans, beans! Throw em in your salad!
Lo fat, no fat does NOT mean low calorie! Don't over indulge!
