What Are You eating?

Lately I haven been working out a lot, and trying so hard to eat healthy foods. I realized that over Christmas this year I was the heaviest I had been in my life. Which, some would say isn't that 'big', but to me, it was bigger than I was ever 'use' to being! I have been doing cardio and strength training for 35 minutes every morning and eating very strict! You don't have to be as strict as I am, but I just want this weight GONE! One thing I have noticed with this new 'diet' phase I am in, is the foods I am eating. Watch out for specifically 'diet' foods! ie. 'lite', 'diet', 'weight watchers', or anything else that is specifically low calorie or low fat. Not all are bad, but you need to read the label of the food you are buying! Just because it is diet doesn't mean it's good for you, sometimes it means all the 'bad' fats and sugars are taken out but replaced with fake chemicals! Ingesting fake processed chemicals is never good! For example, I eat StoneyField organic French vanilla yogurt ( you can get this ANYWHERE, even Wal-mart!) It is all natural and tastes very good, but it so much better for you than any other yogurt out there- ie. Dannon, Yoplait ect. Dannon's Fit & Light Yogurt has just over 10% aspartame in it! ( Aspartame is a cancer causing sugar substitute, it has been clinically proven!) However, most people but it because it is 'only' 100 calories. However, if you eat the same amount of StoneyFeild yogurt with no fillers and no chemicals, its only ... 100 calories! I challenge all of you to take the time and do what my Mama aught me to do, read the labels of you are about to punt into your body!
