| Smart Shopping Tips |
- Do not shop on an empty stomach.
You tend to buy items on impulse when you are hungry and you are less likely to
stick to your shopping list.
- When buying fruit juice, look for 100% unsweetened juice
Fruit drinks, herbal teas and other flavoured drinks contain a lot of sugar, but little
nutrients. 100% juices are best value for your money in terms of nutrient content.
- If you are buying canned food, look for fruits canned in juice and tuna packed in
water.
Avoid the fruits packed in syrup or fish canned in oil. The added sugar and
fat contribute extra calories which you do not need.

| The Positive Approach to Weight Loss |
Once you have made up your mind to lose weight, you should make that commitment and go
into it with a positive attitude. We all know that losing weight can be a challenge.
In fact, for some, it can be downright tough. It takes time, practice and support to
change lifetime habits. But it is a process you must learn in order to succeed. You
are the only one who has the power to lose those unwanted pounds.
Think like a winner -- remember that emotions are like muscles and the ones you use
most grow the strongest. If you always look at the negative side of things, you'll
become a downtrodden and pessimistic. Even slightly negative thoughts have a greater
impact on you and last longer than powerful positive thoughts.
Negative thinking does not do you any good; it just holds you back from accomplishing
the things you want to do. When you feel a negative thought creeping into your mind,
stop yourself. Immediately replace it something positive - you are someone who has
self-worth; you have unique strengths and talents.
Think about what lies ahead of you. Losing weight is not just about diets. It is
about a whole NEW YOU and the possibility of creating a new life for yourself.......
