4th of July

As the 4th of July comes upon us, we all know what is coming: the food. There will be barbeque’s, parties, and other sort of food arrays throughout the entire weekend. The 4th, along with Christmas and thanksgiving, can be one of the most hurtful days to a diet and trying to eat healthy. All the hamburgers and hot dogs, and beverages can really take a toll on your body. But you do not have to go hungry in order to ensure that you stay on your healthy lifestyle plan. Know your portion size and know what is better than the others. There is a great book written by the editor of Men’s Health Magazine, David Zinczenko, called “eat this not that”. It breaks down the things that you should eat, rather than that what you should not. The book understands that the normal person eats out, goes to barbeque’s and other events. This book shows the best things to eat, when a side salad is not an option.
