Wait! Sic before the Food Police at me, hear me out. Although no one can argue that a healthy diet, food wise, this is not an automatic slam-dunk, in order to cut off the waist, thighs and buttocks. If you - like many - who daily diet consists of Chicken Caesar Salad, Tuna Wraps, Mixed Nuts and a handful of raisins, you also know that these - the so-called - diet food, loaded calories!
I have often said, this is not a particular food makes you fat, it's the excess calories, regardless of the food source. You can only get FAT eating too many skinny, white chicken, as you can eat too much ice cream n 'hot chocolate. Conversely, you can get just as lean eating adequate amount of chocolate chip cookies as you can eat adequate amounts of fruits n vegetables. This is a weight-loss is vital that frankly, too many ignore or do not understand too much.
Here's a way to understand your own site. At first glance, would "ever" imagine that you actually lose weight on this diet?
Breakfast
A hot fudge sundae -284 calories
A small coffee with milk and sugar - 80 calories
Total - 364 calories
Lunch
A Big Mac - Sandwich - 540 calories
A small Diet Coke - 0 calories
Total - 540 calories
Dinner
1 serving of Kraft macaroni and cheese - 210 calories
Fudgsicle 1 - 100 calories
1 cup of grape Kool-Aid - 60 calories
Total - 370 calories
Late night snack
2 Chocolate Chip Cookies - 260 calories
Small glass of whole milk - 150 calories
Total - 410
Daily Total: 1684 calories (not much, right?)
The truth is, most people lose weight - lots of it - if it was in the daily calories to 1684 calories.
Of course, I never ate this way to support a regular basis, but it illustrates the point that the "extra" calories make us fat, and a type of food.
Whatever you choose to eat every day, "portion control" is the best dietary advice. We should strive to eat a healthy variety of foods cross at reasonable doses. When someone decides to indulge in sweet or fatty snacks, again at reasonable doses is key. The real good news is that no food should be completely off-limits. As they say, "anything in moderation." Eat, drink and be merry.
