Workout and weight loss on wheels- healthy and convenient

Reading food labels before purchasing may take a few extra second but it's important. Notice how early sugar and salt are listed in the ingredients. If they are listed among the top five consider searching for an alternative purchase. Another is serving size, keep that in mind when looking at calories, it makes a big difference. Fat and sodium content should be lower grams. Percentage of fiber should be higher than sugar. Another consideration is the ratio of carbohydrates to protein. These categories should be balanced and no more than a 5 to 1 ratio. Foods that meet these criteria should be placed in easy to reach places in your kitchen, such as the front row in your pantry or eye level on a shelf. Even more convenient is a bowl on your counter. The trick used by snack companies is that they are too easily reachable in stores. When shopping look at upper and lower shelves. You may be surprised what you fins. Often milk with the longest date is in the back and less expensive meats are covered by those that are more expensive.
