Ok...even if your saying “no, not really.” I know there are occasions when going is out of your hands and you find yourself with the problem of portion control.
We went to buffet last night for dinner, a soup and salad type place. It definitely did have healthy options which I appreciated. But why then, when I looked around at the other patrons in the restaurant were they all in the obese category?
I'm not talking a little belly...these people were part of the epidemic that The World Health Organization is talking about when they state more than 1 billion adults are overweight and 300 million of them are obese. These people are put at a much higher risk of diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, stroke and some forms of cancer.
Even scarier to me is half of the people in there had a little child with them between the ages of 7 and 13 years old. These kids are definitely part of the 16 to 33 percent of children in the United States who are obese.
Wake up people...just because you are eating a salad does not mean you are eating healthy. I saw one little boy who dumped 3 huge cups of ranch dressing on his plate and sprinkled it with 5 pieces of lettuce.
Parents there is a healthy option for dressing. It is called Braggs Liquid Aminos. It is a vegetable protein seasoning that can really be put on all sorts of things. And it contains 16 amino acids that are bodies need!You can get it at almost any grocery store or from this site http://www.bragg.com/products/la.html and then carry it in your purse or bag spitz it on your salad skip the ranch and you are set!
So go make some little changes that could end up making a big difference!
