Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Eat smaller, frequent meals. The magic number of meals for the study participants seemed to be five. Rather than consuming three large meals and trying not to snack in between -- which may make you hungrier by the end of the day and more likely to binge -- spread out your food intake over the course of the day. If you don't get results right away, don't quit -- buff takes time. When you start an exercise program, don't expect changes overnight. It may be a couple of weeks before you see improvements. Although changes may seem subtle at first, stick with it. Even small amounts of exercise will start you on the road to a better body. (And healthier too) Is pizza healthy any way you slice it? No, but you can make it so... To make healthy pizza, you've got to attack the fat. Instead of full-fat mozzarella, sausage and pepperoni, increase the variety and quantity of vegetables and use a small amount of flavorful cheese, such as feta or Parmesan. Given the amount of pizza Americans eat, any choice to cut calories helps; collectively, we eat about 100 acres of pizza each day, which works out to 46 slices of pizza for every man, woman and child over the course of a year. (only 46?) In the supermarket, be sure to look for ground turkey (or chicken) breast. If the poultry is ground with dark meat and skin, you'll end up with more fat and calories that you bargained for. Use this rule of thumb when you order a turkey burger at a restaurant, too -- ask your server what kind of ground turkey is used before you order. If it's not turkey breast, find something else on the menu.
