Been to the movies lately? When you escape to the
air-conditioned
theater this summer, you can still enjoy some snacks
without
putting on the po unds.
BAD choices:
--popcorn with butter (it's really fake butter OIL,
anyway)
--Snickers bar
--M&M's
--Reese's pieces
--Skittles
--soda
GOOD choices:
--soft pretzel
--Junior Mints (my FAVE!)
--Gummy Bears
--Milk Duds
--bottled water
So go ahead and enjoy yourself. Let those
dieters sneak the
carrots and celery and teeny grain cookies into the
theater!
You get to eat "real" food when you go to the movies,
if you
eat the "Real People Don't Diet" way...

I told you last week that I'd let you know how I like
the Special K Protein
Plus cereal that reader Tammy recommends.
It's definitely flaky and crispy, with a slight hint
of cinnamon. It tastes a lot like bran flakes but not as
cardboard-ish. I like it a lot better with fruit
(usually blueberries or strawberries).
Definitely a good-tasting alternative to my usual
mini-wheats.
Give it a try. Eat breakfast every day. Skip
juice and opt for slices of
real fruit on your cereal (or on the side) with water
or black coffee/tea
to drink. I use skim milk instead of 2% or
regular (I actually like the
taste better).
If you skip breakfast, you'll have a harder time
losing we ight. You
need to keep your metabolism going constantly (another
reason
di eting just doesn't work.)
Kudos, Tammy! Two thumbs up.

Have a fabulous rest of the week. If you go to
the movies, have a box
of Junior Mints for me!
