Enjoy freely the wide variety of fresh vegetables, but go easy on the mayonnaise-based salads like potato and macaroni salad. Use the low calorie dressings available. Enjoy fresh fruit to satisfy your sweet tooth. Avoid ice cream, cookies, cakes, pies and pudding except for an occasional splurge. Don't overlook the Deli Bar.
Plain meat sandwiches with lettuce and tomato are smart choices.
Eat a well-balanced diet, and avoid fad diets. Try not to skip meals. Exercise is also very beneficial to weight control. The new food label is designed to help you better understand what is in the foods you eat and how all foods can be part of a balanced and nutritious diet. The Nutrition Facts label presents the actual amount per serving of a number of nutrients known to be important for health maintenance.
