Good Food for Good Health
Forget about self-control, you have to control your environment. If you don’t have it in the house, you will not be able to eat it.
Points to Consider:
-
Overeating beyond what your body needs by a mere 100 calories per day will lead to a 10-pound weight gain per year.
-
Stock your house with whole foods that are naturally low in calories so that you can eat often and eat well.
-
Engaging in physical activity most days of the week is a must for good health and weight control. A brisk walk for 30 minutes burns only about 150 calories, so make careful food selections.
