1. Fried Foods That Are Frightening

Deep fried foods are nutritionally bad for you. If you enjoy going to fairs and carnivals, you may well be tempted to eat the strangest of concoctions. It's amazing just what has been thrown into the deep fryer in the name of creativity.

But the only thing you are going to create is havoc with your weight loss diet.

2. Steakhouse Stories That Scare

Your local neighbourhood restaurant or steakhouse may be a Nutritional Nightmare.

Fried onions that are considered a Starter Dish are so full of Calories, Fat, Saturated Fat and with a high Salt content. And to go from bad to worse, the onions are usually served with a sauce that has even more Calories, Fat and Salt.

For the sake of your health, be sure you know your onions.

3. Manufacturers Mislead Many

Foods that are often labelled as healthy are just the opposite. Marion Nestle PhD, MPH a New York University Nutritional Professor in her book ‘What To Eat,' talks of ‘Fruit Snacks' that have absolutely no fruit in them but were just laden with sugar.

Don't believe the adverts, read the labels carefully then decide for yourself if it's right for you.

4. Burgers That Are Bigger and Biggest

Burgers are getting bigger and bigger. Burger King and others are taking a bun and piling on as many as four burgers, plus slices of cheese and strips of bacon. Just one of these burgers will give you more Calories than you should eat if having three meals a day.

If you really do want a burger, try ordering a plain burger. It could be served with a sauce, but it should be on the side not on top.

That will save you eating more Calories than you need.

5. Awful Appetisers

How about a Fundido as a snack before the main meal?

A Fundido is made up of a combination of cheese, pepperoni, bacon and sausage served with bread sticks.

If you are on a weight loss diet, a Fundido is a nutritional no-no.

6. Cakes and Cookies That Are Calorie Clogged

You are tempted to have a square of Starbucks Old Fashioned Crumb Cake to go with your coffee but that little square has 670 Calories in it.

And a piece of Cheesecake has enough Calories in it to make a mess of your weight loss diet, but the Cheesecake Factory adds Chocolate Candy, Mousse etc.

Nice for a treat once a year, but for the rest of the year … DON'T.

7. Diet Drinks That Deceive

High Calorie drinks are so deceptive. They don't need chewing and go down real easy and they don't fill you up. So how can this innocent looking cup of coffee be loaded with 490 – 580 Calories? It could be the chocolate or cream that is added.

To avoid piling on the Calories, order a small size cup of coffee with low fat milk and sweeteners.

8. High Calorie Horrors

When you are out shopping at the Mall you may be tempted by the delicious aromas of coffees, spicy pies and the mouth watering smell of freshly made doughnuts.

But giving in to temptation could mean you may consume a day's worth of Calories in one delicious but none essential piece of confectionery.

Ok I'm being a spoil sport but, for the sake of your health and weight loss diet, you would be better to take along a snack of crackers and nuts or raw veggies. Enjoy.

9. Diet Disasters When Dining Out

Two decades ago, dining out was already beginning to be a disaster for the person who was on a weight loss diet. The menu offered high Calorie foods.

Things haven't improved over the years; in fact they have become worse. On the menu in restaurants are such things as fried macaroni and cheese and cheese fries. Just oozing with fat and packed with Calories.

In order to keep to your diet change into a fluffy bunny rabbit and talk yourself into eating and enjoying salads.

10. Super Sized Servings That Sabotage Your Diet

Have you noticed how it's not just fast food meals that have got bigger? So have bagels, pasta servings, salads and sandwiches. If you go out to a restaurant for a meal, most of the meals on the menu are going to be around 1 000 Calories.

The question to ask yourself is, do I really need this food? As Michelle May MD, author of ‘Am I Hungry?' and ‘What To Do When Diets Don't Work' said, that ‘Once a person indulges in a decadent dessert or monster burger, it triggers the ‘I've already blown my diet, so why bother,' mentality.

Beyond that, May believes, the real horror may be the American mind set about food. We were raised to clean the plate, so we could be rewarded with a dessert, which further enhances our desire to eat sweets and meals without recognition of fullness,' she says.

If you want to keep to your weight loss diet, learn what foods are best for you and avoid the ones that sabotage it.

The Many Benefits of Exercise

Everyone can benefit from regular exercise. A child who is active will:

1)have stronger muscles and bones
2)have a leaner body because exercise helps control body fat
3)be less likely to become overweight
4)decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes
5)possibly lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels
6)have a better outlook on life

In addition to the health benefits of regular exercise, kids who are physically fit sleep better and are better able to handle the physical and emotional challenges that a typical day presents - be that running to catch a bus, bending down to tie a shoe, or studying for a test.

Tips for Exercise Success

Here are some tips for exercise success:

1) if you've been sedentary for a long time, are overweight, have a high risk of coronary heart disease or some other chronic health problem, see your doctor for a medical evaluation before beginning a physical activity program.

2) Choose activities that are fun, not exhausting. Add variety. Develop a repertoire of several activities that you can enjoy. That way, exercise will never seem boring or routine.

3) Wear comfortable, properly fitted footwear and comfortable, loose-fitting clothing appropriate for the weather and the activity.

4)Find a convenient time and place to do activities. Try to make it a habit, but be flexible. If you miss an exercise opportunity, work activity into your day another way.

5) Use music to keep you entertained.

6) Surround yourself with supportive people. Decide what kind of support you need. Do you want them to remind you to exercise? Ask about your progress? Participate with you regularly or occasionally? Allow you time to exercise by yourself? Go with you to a special event, such as a 10K walk/run? Be understanding when you get up early to exercise? Spend time with the children while you exercise? Try not to ask you to change your exercise routine? Share your activity time with others. Make a date with a family member, friend or co-worker. Be an active role model for your children.

7) Don't overdo it. Do low- to moderate-level activities, especially at first. You can slowly increase the duration and intensity of your activities as you become more fit. Over time, work up to exercising on most days of the week for 30-60 minutes.

8)Keep a record of your activities. Reward yourself at special milestones. Nothing motivates like success!

When Is the Best Time to Exercise?

"The way we wake up and begin the morning can make an enormous difference to how we feel and react during the course of the day. So it is worth starting in a positive way."Robert Thé

"When to run is going to come down to when works best for you on a regular basis. Make it easiest for fitting it in with everything else you have to do."Bill Rodgers

When is the best time to exercise? Early morning when you first wake up? Later morning after you've started your day? During your lunch break at work? Sometime in the early or late afternoon after a long day at work, or perhaps in the evening a couple hours before retiring? Ask several different people, and you will probably get several different responses as to when you should exercise for optimal results.

Every individual is unique, and as such, each person's body chemistry and inner clock is different. What works best for me, may not work for you. In fact, what works best for you today, may change in a couple years.

You will perform best when your energy level is high. So if you are a morning person, early morning may work best for you. But just because you're a night owl doesn't mean, you shouldn't exercise in the morning. In fact, you may find that exercising early may change you to a morning person.

Over the years, I have experimented with different exercise times and routines. When I was pregnant with my oldest son, I was substitute teaching. During that time of my life, I would take a relaxing walk at the end of my day. After having my second son, I walked/jogged early mornings and on alternate days chose to do some afternoon aerobics while my sons napped.

I've tried other times of the day for exercising, and I always feel great after finishing a routine, but I have found that the best time for me is first thing in the morning. Though not naturally an early bird, I enjoy running under the morning sunrise, and I have found that since implementing my daily morning routine, I have become a morning person. Starting my day with physical activity also gives me the boost I need to make it through a hectic day with three young sons.

Not everyone, however, can bound out of bed first thing in the morning to exercise. Maybe you already get up early to go to work. You must either make the effort to get up a little earlier or find time during a long work break or at the end of the day to squeeze in some physical activity (even if it is only 20 minutes). You may find, though, that the more time that passes, the harder it is to exercise. You're tired and have so much to do and just don't feel like taking some time for fitness.

Some enjoy exercising in the early evening, since exercise helps them relieve the stresses of the day and relax for the night. For others, exercising vigorously at night may keep them awake longer. (I do enjoy a few relaxing stretches before bed, but I avoid aerobic activity in the evening for that reason.)

So when is the best time to exercise? Any time that you can do it. I recommend trying an early morning routine first if you can. lt starts your day on a positive note and other responsibilities won't prevent you from exercising. Researchers have found that those who exercise in the morning are more likely to stick with an exercise routine than those who put it off until later in the day.

If early morning does not work for you and you are disciplined and committed to exercising another time, then by all means, do it then. The best time for you is the time when you will do it and remain committed. It's not always easy getting started, but if you stay with it for some time, you will like what you see, and will be more motivated to continue.
