Tonight I attended the Look Ahead Lifestyle Program. Our Dietician taught us how to measure and weigh our foods. For example one ounce of cheese:
We all cut what we thought was one ounce of cheese off a brick of cheese, no one went crazy we knew it wasn't much. We placed our "cubes on the food scale and went into Deep Shock!! An ounce of cheese is the size of two dice. OMG I place at least that much on one Ritz Cracker.
Then she showed us how much fat was in one cube...a full test tube (W/out the Ritz cracker).
I slipped into memories of Christmas parties, standing around the cheese and cracker tray consuming what I thought was the healthier snack Guess I should have stuck to the veggie tray
There was a loud GASP in the room when we examined how much fat was in a McDonalds Big Mac Combo with the fries and drink...4 test tubes full of fat. Why were we so surprised??
Good news though I lost weight this week....HOORAY!!
PEACE!
