What I Learned Dieting

1) The less I eat something I really like, the less I crave it,
High calorie examples: potato & taco chips come to mind.

2) The more I eat something that is so-so, the more I like it.
Low calorie examples": green beans and 2% cottage cheese

3) I like bananas, but at 200 calories is too much so
I eat a pear, an apple or 1/2 a banana. Good luck! Walter

3) Research shows that spending eight weeks before you diet
working on weight maintenance skills like portion size and calorie intake
results in less weight regained when the diet is over.

Good Substitute Foods

1) Almond milk is low in calories and taste great.

2) Sugar free yogurt as almost as good as ice cream.

3) DiGiorno's Margareta Pizza has fewer calories.

4) Mangos are a great substitute for sugar disserts.

Editor's Note: On Smoking:

After 190 tries, or maybe 191, I went to a hypnotist in June of 1979.
He kept saying that if I didn't quit smoking, in 6 month,
cigs would taste awful.
I soon forgot, but a week before Thanksgiving cigs did taste awful.
I decided to stop buying cigs after said Thursday.
I had accumulated a few cartons of cigs, which I smoked.
On Jan 1, 1980, I flipped my last cig out the widow.

Margareta from DiGiorno's
will save Pizza Lovers Calories
