Eat different, not less!

Provided by the Akron Health Department
A Commitment to Healthy Living

 

Want to lose a few pounds? Maybe your solution is to eat different, not just eating less.

A new report on American eating habits reveals that almost a quarter of the calories we consume come from nutrient-poor selections, better known as junk food. Soft drinks are reported as the number one source of calories, with sweets, desserts, salty snacks, and alcoholic beverages coming in close second. All of these foods are concentrated in calories, which can increase your daily caloric total. Not to mention they lack in nutritional value.

The solution: replace junk snacks with low fat and low calorie foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These foods will not only supply less calories, but will also provide you with the nutrients and fiber your body needs. Make eating healthy snacks your goal today!
