What to Avoid in Beverages

10:29, 2008-Oct-9 | 0 comments
When you consider to change your diet and aim for a healthy lifestyle, it is very important to have budgeting and planning in your list. You must know what foods to avoid and what foods to buy and keep in your fridge. Before going to the shop to get some groceries, be sure to have a list of everything to buy to save time and effort. Also, try to include vitamins and recreational activities in your budget. This includes aero-classes, exercises, dance, or sports.
For now, I will leave you with an article about beverages.
Avoid beverages labeled "naturally sweetened" or "fruit-juice sweetened," but help yourself to these:
  • Unsweetened black coffees and teas
  • Diet teas and juices: Crystal Light, Diet Snapple, Diet Natural Lemon Nestea, Diet Mistic, and others
  • Noncaloric flavored waters: orange, chocolate, cream, cherry-chocolate, root beer, cola, and other flavors of bottled or filtered water
  • Seltzer: plain or flavored, but check the calorie count if the product is labeled "naturally sweetened," since this usually means that the product has sugar in one form or another
  • Hot cocoa mixes: 20 to 50 calories per serving, including Swiss Miss Diet and Fat-Free and Nestle Carnation Diet and Fat-Free; avoid cocoa mixes with 60 or more calories per serving


Skinny Trimmings

There are a lot of ways on trimming down your weight. You can read articles on the internet, magazines or books so you can have ideas on how to reach our goals. Once you love an article save it in your laptops, computers or hard drives. If you don't have enough space in your disk, try to purchase a cheap yet durable used tape drives just for your healthy lifestyle articles.
One kind of healthy diet that I am observing right now is the No Red Meat Diet. It means I don't eat pork or beef instead I eat more vegetables, fruits and whole wheat foods. Aside from the healthy eating, I also include exercises in my everyday life.
I have read an article from Yahoo Health and I like it so much and I am sharing it here.

To Lose 1 Pound Per Week

Dodge dining-out disasters

Even your seemingly healthy grilled swordfish and vegetables can pack more calories and fat than a stick of butter. "Many restaurant meals contain up to 2 ounces of added oil [500 calories]," says Anita Jones, founder of the Healthy Dining Program, which analyzes the nutritional content of restaurant food. Pasta dishes are notorious: Oil is used throughout the cooking process and added to sauces and cooked noodles. Stick with steamed veggies and grilled, poached, or broiled lean protein (like poultry and fish), and ask the chef to prepare your dishes without oil. Or just cook meals at home instead of eating out.

Careful With That Cappuccino
Vanilla shots, caramel, sugar packets — they're not harmless just because they're in your cup of joe. A large white-chocolate mocha with whipped cream from Starbucks logs in at 630 calories (the whip alone has 100!). Get your sweet fix with two shots of sugar-free vanilla syrup in a medium cappuccino with soy or fat-free milk and kick 500 empty calories to the curb.

Dress Down

"Most entrée salads at restaurants are pre-dressed with 6 to 10 tablespoons of dressing," Jones says. "And most dressings have 70 to 100 calories per tablespoon and 7 to 10 grams of fat." That's an average of 680 calories just for the dressing (let's not even get into croutons and bacon bits). Order dressing on the side and dip into it sparingly with your fork between bites — you'll cut back to about 2 tablespoons (roughly 175 calories).

Lighten Up At Happy Hour
If it tastes sweet or has a salty rim, it's usually bad news — think cosmos, lemon drops, and appletinis. Most cocktails have 2 to 5 ounces of liquor. Add in 5 ounces of sugary syrups or mixers like cola, grenadine, and Midori and you can down more than 700 calories in just one drink. Stay away from Margaritaville (and below 100 calories) by pairing your liquor with diet or club soda. Or go for a bottle of light beer or a 5-ounce glass of chardonnay, which contain around 125 calories each. Sorry, Jimmy.




Moments to Treasure

Do you have a video camera? or simply a phone with a video camera? What do you with it? Do you often take pictures or videos? Who's your subject? Do you take hometown video, baby video, pet videos or others? Taking photos and videos are like keeping jewels. We keep it safely so it will last forever. Photos and videos are important because they give us memories to remember and moments to treasure. So, take a lot of videos now with your loved ones and save it on your computers or laptops, burn it on the cd and keep it for it will remind us how we were before. Grab your cameras now and start taking videos!


Cruisin

I love cruises and I know someday I can experience it. I am planning to have it after I get married with the one whom I truly love. Well, I'm still waiting for the day that he would pop the question and we can finally say "I Do's". After that, we can spend more time for our honeymoon and building our own family. The family that we dreamed before :) Back to cruises, I'd like to have an Asian cruise first then Caribbean places... I just love the beach then the European cruise! Whoa, so much to save for that dream honeymoon, ahaha. That's all for tonight!
