Diets – a word that gives food lovers pause. My state has an adult obesity rate of 32%, the highest in the US. Diets have proliferated as obesity rates climb. Do diets really work? Well, in the short term, yes. However, maintenance is very difficult because obesity is a multifaceted issue. What follows is a link to evaluation of weight loss apps you might find helpful. I’m not the food police, but there is so much misinformation floating around that sharing some science-based advice is in order.
The article is from Food & Nutrition Magazine, a publication of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly ADA). Yeah, I’m a member of the Academy but NOT a member of the food police! Any nutrition info in this blog is science-based ‘cuz I follow AND’s code of ethics. Food and cooking is both art and science but most of all it is fun.
On today’s menu in Oak Grove Elementary: beef stew/rice, cabbage, broccoli with cheese sauce, chef salad, mandarin chicken salad, whole wheat rolls, bread sticks with marinara sauce, chocolate pudding, oranges, fruit cocktail, and of course milk. With the exception of the bread sticks/marinara sauce, all items were prepared from scratch. We lunch ladies cook, serve, clean (including floors), and pull trash. I do sleep well at night!
