Free Diet Newsletter : August 2002 (E-Mail - I)
|
I hope you are all enjoying your Jubilee Bank Holiday week-end, especially as the weather has been so good. Football fever has hit the country and whilst many of us will enjoy the World Cup, I know that for some of you it will be a long month. If this is you, take the opportunity to head down to the gym or the local swimming pool, they shouldn't be as busy as usual or take advantage of the warmer weather and go for long walks to burn up a few extra calories.
We are pleased to announce that three chat rooms will be introduced this month. Members will be able to converse in real time. The chat rooms are intended to compliment the message board and improve contact between members.
Regards
Ronny

Beating the 'Diet Blues'
If you have got to the stage in your diet where you just cannot bear to count another calorie/fat gram and you are fed up with having to think about what to eat, don't despair, follow this quick and easy programme for a week to give yourself a break and then get back onto you diet plan with renewed vigour.
Every day have a bowl of cereal such as Frosties, Cornflakes or Special K with semi-skimmed milk for your breakfast and your lunch. At approximately 170 - 200 calories a time this leaves you enough calories to have the dinner of your choice without having to think about portions/calorie counting/fat counting.
‘Low Fat’ Foods
Be vigilant when buying foods at the supermarket labelled ‘low fat’, ‘reduced fat’, fat-free etc. These labels can be misleading as the fat content is often much higher than one is given to believe. The Food Standards Agency recommend that the claim of ‘low-fat’ is only used on foods containing less than 3g of fat per 100g and ‘fat free’ foods should only contain less than 0.15g of fat per 100g. ‘Reduced-fat foods should contain three quarters of the amount of fat in the standard product. These are recommendations only and therefore each label will need careful checking. Remember to that ‘low-fat’ doesn’t necessarily mean low in calories. Chomp your way through 3 ‘low fat’ digestives and you could add 180 calories to your daily total.
