How much of what you eat is eaten for nutrition? for entertainment? It seems we can’t watch a movie without popcorn, celebrate a birthday without cake or have a holiday go by without a feast. In America, we are in a constant state of feasting.
Most of this comes from eating for entertainment. We eat to alleviate boredom and to tickle our taste buds. We can’t really say that peppermint mocha topped with whipped cream was essential for our well being. Of course, we get it made with low fat milk. This really helps off-set that 790 calorie bagel we ate to go along with it.
Yes, the typical American breakfast is usually 70% of the calories we need for the day and has less than 10% of our nutritional needs. Turn this around with a healthy meal replacement like those offered by WAVES Take Shape for Life & My Herbal Plan. Then, you can have 100-250 calories and get 20-30% of your body’s nutritional needs. This single swap alone can save you hundreds of calories a day and get you on the right track to weight loss and better health.
