pesky resolutions
January 2009 – It’s back to school, back to dinners and back
to grocery shopping for the same old stuff. With New Year’s resolutions
making us feel guilty every time we drive past the gym, it’s time
to make a change - a change that tastes good. Here are some solutions

New Year’s Resolution #2: I want watch to my weight.
New Year’s Solution: Did you know bumping up the protein
in your meals may keep you satisfied longer? This can help you resist
those urges to reach for unhealthy snacks between meals. And, since
protein may help curb your hunger, it may help control your calorie
intake and lose more weight. Research has also shown our bodies
naturally burn a few more calories when we eat protein-rich meals,
than higher fat or carbohydrate meals. It has also been shown weight
loss diets rich in lean protein can help improve blood triglyceride
(fat) and blood glucose (sugar) levels. This is great if want to
lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes.
