Weight Control, Weight loss Suggestions
Don’t taste while cooking and don't lick
the bowl when finished cooking. It has been said jokingly, but not without a
grain of truth, that half the overweight.
House wives in this
country have tasted or licked themselves. Add a great deal in calories. Are
they worth it? If you happened to be a "snacker," you can study the
snack chart. Consider that a cup of tea or coffee, without cream, with, spoonful
of sugar, contains only 16 calories; it may satisfy yourself or at least take
the edge off it, and provide the quick energy you.
On the other hand, a chocolate sundae will run between 300
and 500 calories, and half a brick of plain ice cream is 200 (and even low-calorie
ice cream is 100). Nibbling between meals does help some people to diet by
decreasing their appetite at mealtime.
If you try this, keep careful count of
calories you will know whether or not it
is really helping you. Nibbling also may be suggested by a physician for some
heart patients, since the body can manage five or six very small meals daily
more easily than the customary three, one or two of which may be fairly heavy.
The idea that you are helping your children when you sample
their dinners or finish their portions is one that ought to be dropped. It
helps neither them nor you-and can become a fattening habit.
