Eat This, Not That

 via

Have you seen these famous books? They have guides that help you in supermarkets, restaurants, deciding what to drink, and even what to feed your kid. Their philosophy is not to diet, but to make healthier decisions with all aspects of eating and their guidebooks help you with that. You can sign up to get an email every week or go onto their website to find the advice.

I wanted to share with you some of my favorites –

1.      Best Cereal – Post Shredded Wheat

Per cup: 170 calories, 6 g protein, 40 g carbs, 6 g fiber, 1 g fat

So you may have noticed my theme is carbs and dairy. Those are the things I crave the most so I thought I would show that you don’t have to completely cut them out of your diet, but if you make the right decisions and indulge in moderation, you can make it work!

So eat this, not that!
