Tryin’ to Lose Weight?<\/strong> Want to eat healthfully? Then you’ve got to create the perfect plate! And who better knows what a healthy plate looks like than the American Diabetes Association.
\nADA suggests we divide our plate into three sections.
\n1\/2 of your plate:
\nnon-starch veggies, like broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, salad, tomatoes, cauliflower, all the leafy greens!
\n1\/4 of your plate:
\nstarches such as rice, pasta, potatoes, corn, cous cous, peas or any of your whole grains.
\n1\/4 of your plate:
\nprotein such as chicken, fish, meat or tofu.
\nFinishing touch:
\na glass of milk, a peace of fruit OR a small roll (and they mean small).
\nFor those who rebel against weighing and measuring, here is something you can eye!
\nSo …
\n… No Excuses.
\nMake a pretty plate.
\nLose Weight.
\n(No loop holes allowed … like using a platter!)
\nWhat does your plate look like?
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing!
