If you are interested in losing weight, always serve your food on a plate or bowl so you can see how much you are eating.  Studies have shown that people who eat from a bag, box or bucket eat 40-50% more than if they put their food on a dish.

Research has shown that people who wrote down everything they ate discovered they had underestimated their daily calorie intake by 1,050 calories.  That could add up to gaining a pound every 3½ days.

For quality fresh fruits and vegetables select locally grown produce, as they are higher in nutritional content and taste better. To learn more about finding local and organic produce near you, go to: www.localharvest.org

Science has shown that having a TV or computer in your bedroom interferes with sleep. Even when they are turned off, they emit a negative sound and disrupt sleep and energy levels. Bedrooms should be a place of peaceful retreat to support quality sleep
