So, take the reigns and take charge. Our life-styles, unfortunately, have gone way beyond hectic. And our bodies are suffering because of what we're feeding them. And believe it or not, you do have control over what you eat. Fast food has become part of our daily lives, but it doesn't have to mean eating more fat and calories.
Selections are available at many restaurants that are lower in fat and calories.
If you eat more fat and calories at one meal, cut down at other meals in the day. Order sandwiches without the mayonnaise or special sauces to reduce your fat intake. Select broiled foods such as broiled chicken or fish. Eat your 5 fruits and vegetables each day by using them as raw, between-meal snacks if you are unable to get them when eating out. At restaurants where nutritional information is unavailable, ask questions about fat content and food preparation.
