Eat This Not That!  - Don’t let winter make you FAT!

Ok biggest loser fans the Holidays are hear and so is the COLD weather.  Following the words of Biggest Loser fitness trainer BOB,” Don’t let the winter weather make you fat.” Eat This, Not That!  This and make good choices when deciding what to eat.

Just today I found myself reaching for a big bowl of Cheese Broccoli soup. Sounds good doesn’t it?  It was great at the moment but needless to say not the best choice for healthy alternatives at lunch. At that moment I realized I started to fall into my normal winter habits, warm foods full of FAT….

Did you know the average serving of Cheese Broccoli soup contains 140 calories with 64% of those calories from FAT, that’s right in addition that little ½ cup serving was loaded with 10 grams of FAT.

If you’re like most Americans, on Thanks giving alone you will consume around 4,500 calories in one day.  This is more then double the average Americans daily calorie intake.   What makes that worse is that during the winter months and especially around the Holidays you will eat an average of 600 more calories per day then you do during other times of year.  Simply stated before you know it you could pack on an additional 6 – 10 pounds by January. That is if you aren’t aware of what you are eating.

I’ll skip the rest of the diet lecture and instead gave you this quick trendy tip pick up a copy of, Eat This, Not That! Simply stated it helps you find healthier alternatives to some of the old staples you might be thinking of putting in your mouth this time of year.
