Weight Loss Tips from the Transformers - Tip #1

Every Friday my Biggest Loser team meets for 15-20 minutes to talk about our progress, our stumbling blocks, etc. We also talk about our weekend plans - especially anything revolving around food - and help each other strategize. So here's the first installment in the tips and ideas that came out of one of our meetings.

1. The book "Eat This, Not That" helps to simplify making better choices.

That tip is from Nancy - she and her husband dine out frequently - and she thinks the book has helped her make better choices at restaurants. She keeps it at her desk and we are free to browse through it at any time. I used it to look up some info on Red Lobster a few weeks ago. Here's my tip for you - avoid the Cheddar Bay Biscuits at all cost if you are dining at Red Lobster. 150 calories each (and who can eat just one??) and 350 mg of sodium EACH. I know other teammates have found a few surprises by glancing through the book (both negative and positive surprises).
