Sweets Cravings rule

Cravings for sweets and chocolate are common. If this occurs, remember to eat well the next day, and follow this simple rule: eat well 80 % of the time and have treats 20% of the time. Exercising in between this rule is key.

To satisfy your chocolate craving, you could try good treats like a couple of Tootsie Rolls, a fat-free fudgesicle, or hot chocolate with 1 % milk. And occasionally you could go for a real chocolate bar!

Enjoy and stay healthy!

Avoid eggs / high cholesterol at Breakfast

gh-cholesterol foods present high numbers. Managing your cholesterol is an essential way of controlling your diet, and health. The American Heart Association recommends a maximum daily intake of 300 mg of cholesterol daily. If your doctor has said you have high-cholesterol already, you need to stay below 200 mg. One particuarily high cholesterol food is eggs. Having an egg for breakfast already gives you up to 212 mg of cholesterol. So, as an alternative, try whole-grain cereal with fruit or some yogurt.
