Being aware of what we put into our bodies...being conscious...
is perhaps the most important change we can make.
So often we just eat whatever is available,
or we eat when tired and distracted.
Sometimes we eat to (ugh!) please others,
and sometimes we are just plain not paying attention.
Becoming alert about what goes into a product
(and therefore, HELLO! --what goes into us!)
is a crucial development for successful eating.
To be more healthful and nutritious takes
some investigating and caution.
Below is a link to a great site with tons of
info for reading food labels and how to
interpret them, as well as what items
are most important when you read them.
Always remember the hidden calories and dangers
(sugar, salt, etc) of such 'incidentals' as
toppings, dressings, and other last second
add-ons.
If eating out, assume the worst, and always ask
for sauces to be....ON THE SIDE!
Portion control is everything.
