Tricia finishing her triatholon in the rainHappy Birthday Tricia!
100 calorie packs are everywhere these days. As I was walking through Wal-mart this weekend I noticed that they are all over the place. Nabisco has obviously done a great job of marketing these things to people who think that they are healthy. The truth is that just because they are only 100 calories, they are still processed junk. It is still a package of oreos or muffins or whatever. People often times ask if it is ok to eat these 100 calorie packs and my answer is that when the day comes that you can pick a 100 calorie pack off of a tree then it will be ok to eat them. The first problem I have with the 100 calorie pack is that most people who are trying to lose weight are not going to stop with only one pack. These foods are full of artificial ingredients that tell your body that it needs more food. Obviously people realize that portion control is important, and that is what Nabisco is counting on, but you have to remember that there is more to nutrition than just calories. Hormones are what really control your body composition and these 100 calorie packs destroy your hormonal levels.
Remember we are having a nutrition class at 7pm on Tues night. You will learn more about how hormones change you body.

Happy Birthday Tricia!
Well, I can't say I am sorry to have missed 5 minutes of burpees this morning, but hopefully I can get this paper done and come out to the 6 class.
Not only do most people not stop at eating one bag, but they provide no nutritional benefit. It's hard to eat on the road especially when you have dietary needs or want to watch your calorie intake. I wanted to share a new service my company just launched called ‘Wellternatives’ that lets people find nutrition info for thousands of chain restaurants – right from their cell phone or on the web. It also makes recommendations for a healthier alternative to your favorite restaurant meals, hence the name… Wellternatives. Would love to hear what you think of it! Maija
