Iconic?...how?

This is a picture of one of the most well known celebrity in America, Paris Hilton eating an enormous cheesebuger. This is iconic because at one point this ad was a commercial for Burgerking and at one point it was extremely talked about. This is iconic because everyone has seen paris on tv and know what she is like will know that she did not eat this burger because she is a twig. This comes to show how ads are so false on there advertisement. A "perfect burger" with a "perfect girl". when in reality woman who look this good will never touch a burger that big and look so perfect eating it. Its really sad how some people accually fall for something like this..."oh if paris eats it then i can to"...sorry but no you wont.

Shake your salt habit

Fast food used to mean fried food, but today food franchises are offering people more health-oriented alternative than ever before. Chef salads, grilled chicken sandwiches and frozen yogurts are just 3 examples.
Tips: Beware of topping burgers with cheese, creamy sauces and bacon they add saturated fats a calories. Pickles, onions, lettuce, tomato, and mustard add flavor without the fat. Steer clear of fried fish sandwiches. A baked potato might be a healthier option, but have it with low fat sour cream instead of butter.
Instead of a jumbo cheeseburger try a grilled chicken, sliced meats or even a regular 2 oz. hamburger on a bun with lettuce, tomato and onion.
Fact: A regular cheeseburger has 360 calories and 180 calories from fat.

Friends=Weight Gain

I always say my friends are the reason for my unhealthy lifestyle because in most cases they are. This summer all i have been doing is eatingout with my friends mainly because we all love to eat(who doesnt) and boredom. We use it as a way of "catching up with eachother".This isnt the case for just me and my friends, Americans are eating more meals away from home then ever before. Controlling your sodium intake doesnt mean spoil the pleasure of a restaurant meal, but order carefully....
*read the nutrition info that most fast food restaurants provide,the less preperation a food requires, the less sodium it contains
*When you order be specific about what you want and how you want your food,request no salt, use pepper insead of salt.
* remember portion control. When you know your eating something that doenst fit your eating plan, eat less!

Say "Yes" to an old "no-no"

If you're like a lot of people, you grew up thinking of snacking as a "no-no". Snacking was something you did even though you knew better. Well you can grab snack and let go of the guilt, because its ok to snack. Snackings a natural, so go for the "real thing". Fats, sugars and high-energy foods have a lot of necessary nutrients, especially for growing bodies. An example would be Sugars, they are popularly believed to be bad but they are the main fuel needed by all our cells and physical activity and brain function. Our brain is mostly fat and the only energy source it uses is glucose. I am not saying go ahead and eat all the sugar you want but the body is smart and doesnt care where they get the nutrients as long as it gets alittle of everything.
