Diet Ad, Diet Bad, Diet Cad, Diet Dad, Diet Fad, Diet Glad, Diet Had,
Diet Mad, Diet Pad, Diet Rad, Diet Sad, Diet Wad
an Original Weight Loss & Dieting Poem by Thin Thin
Gretchen ogled over the guaranteed Diet Ad - grabbing six cookies, one last time for being Diet Bad,
Jerry stole three cupcakes, a sneaky Diet Cad - but his wife caught him red-handed, this former Diet Dad,
Nick tried losing pounds based on a Diet Fad - but when he lost his health to such, he wasn't Diet Glad,
Echo echoed Nick, she-too was Diet Had - and when she found out such, she was plenty Diet Mad,
Megan built her weight loss dreams on a solid Diet Pad - the official Food Pyramid was oh-so Diet Rad,
It's fair to say when diets fizzle, it's really Diet Sad - but when diets sizzle, one wins the whole Diet Wad.....
HEALTHY SNACK SUGGESTIONS FOR DIETERS
Vegetable Food Group Snack Suggestions: carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, tomatoes, radishes and celery. Consider a healthy dip for your raw vegetables such as a low fat, low calorie salad dressing served on the side, or light cream cheese, or light sour cream or sugar free, low fat yogurt.
Fruit Food Group Snack Suggestions: 1 cup of strawberries, 1/2 cantaloupe, wedge of watermelon, 1 small peach, 1/2 apple, 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 large banana, 1/2 grapefruit and 2 plums or apricots.
Protein Food Group Snack Suggestions: boiled egg, 1 teaspoon of peanut butter OR cashew butter OR hazelnut butter spread onto a stalk of celery, and jerky which is naturally low in calories and fat. Other foods which are good sources of protein include: oatmeal (4.6 grams of protein), 2% milk as well as reduced fat buttermilk (8.56 grams of protein), low fat cottage cheese (14 grams of
protein per 1/2 cup), and Cheddar cheese (1 ounce contains 7 grams of protein).
Grain Food Group Snack Suggestions: whole grain cereal, whole grain breads, whole grain crackers, 1/2 cup of brown rice, rice cakes, low fat popcorn (skip the butter and grab a hot-air popper).
Dairy Food Group Snack Suggestions: low fat cottage cheese, skim milk, reduced fat cheeses - including reduced-fat string cheese, reduced-fat cream cheese smeared on a few whole grain crackers, and low fat yogurt. A healthy benefit of skim, reduced-fat and low fat dairy products is that they generally contain more calcium benefits than their full-blown counterparts.
Beverage Suggestions: As to beverages that are enjoyed throughout the day, and also at snack time, opting for water is the best choice. When something more is desired, try tea which comes with many healthy benefits. If you must have a soda, opt for diet OR limit your soda consumption to one per day - and don't forget to account for the calories in your daily diet. As for juice, we recommend
raw fruit or raw vegetables rather than their juices as juice can contain 2 or more times the number of calories than their natural counterpart.
