Carbohydrate-rich foods worse than white bread.

Here are a few treats which we should not indulge in regularly, especially when we are watching our waistlines!

Specialty coffee drinks loaded with whipped cream, movie theatre popcorn, and toasted bagels... Every once in a while these foods aren't so bad. But the key phrase here is, once in a while.

Shape Magazine has compiled a short list of eight treats that are full of carbohydrates and sugars and generally not good to have on a regular basis. Some of them are very obvious (like those coffee drinks with their mounds of processed whipped cream), while others you may be surprised to find on the list!

No more aimless walking in the grocery store. It's time to shop ourselves healthy!

I can't even count how many times I walk over to the refridgerator, stare at its contents and close the door empty handed. From there, I cruise over to the pantry and start inspecting it's contents!

The crave monster has just sufaced and it's forcing me to begin the hunt for snacks! All too often this leads to snacking on things like chips and dip or if nothing else, buttered toast (I swear I could live on toasted bread with butter and I would be quite happy!). So what can one do to prevent this kind of craving grazing? It all starts at the grocery store...
