TAKEOUT FOOD AND WEIGHT LOSS

Your Weight-Loss Solution: Limit Takeout Food
YOUR DAILY DIET TIP

Unless you live in New York, takeout and delivery options are pretty much limited to pizza and Chinese food. And here’s the real tip: both are heavy hitters – high in carbohydrates, fat and salt. If there are any vegetables, they are typically drowning in oil or melted cheese.

Sure, they taste great, but try to limit takeout or delivery to once a week – this includes weekends. The food you prepare at home will be healthier, and you will avoid the split-second decision making on the telephone that sometimes prompts you to make the less healthy choice at the last moment.

Always look up,

MY THOUGHTS

The real culprit here would be time.  Well, maybe not.  If you desire eating healthy so much, you'll find ways to manage your time-and your refrigerator-so you don't end up munching takeouts.
