Low Calorie, Low Fat Choices
It's a well known fact that over consumption of foods high in fat and calories causes weight gain. Instead of eliminating all your favorite fattening foods try reducing their fat and calorie content. When making
a food choice choose foods low in fat and calories and nutrient rich in

and minerals. When grocery shopping read the food labels to find out
the calorie and fat content.
