Adding Flavor to Food


Using condiments in moderation is one easy way to cut calories. The calories from butter, bbq sauce, ketchup, etc add up quickly. Use flavorings such as hot sauce, salsa, and Cajun seasonings instead of butter and creamy sauces.  These seasonings add lots of flavor without the fat and have very few calories. Many studies have shown that spicy seasonings turn up your metabolism by increasing digestive enzymes in your stomach and intestines. Who doesn't want to burn a little more calories?

Exercising needs to be a lifetime habit. It takes a lot of effort to lose weight and keep it off long-term. The best tool to accomplish this is not only healthy eating habits but regular physical activity. Make it a priority if it already isn't so. Exercising has numerous benefits, emotionally and physically. Grab a buddy for your workout to keep motivation up.
