Here are a couple great little habits that will help you
reach your goal of a trim and fit body.

Always order baked potatoes plain.

Potatoes themselves are not fattening; it is what
we put on them that makes them so fattening: butter,
margarine, sour cream. By always ordering your baked
potatoes plain and reducing the amount or changing the
type of toppings you put on them, you can reduce your
intake of dietary fat. Potatoes do contain a lot of carbs
so you want to limit your intake, but most people
do not want to cut them out of their diet...this habit
helps keep the fat calories in check.

Some experts estimate that your diet is responsible for at
least 40% and as much as 60% of your overall weight
management program. . Here are some tips for non-fat potato
topping alternatives:

* Non-fat sour cream
* Salsa, make that medium or hot
* Non-fat plain yogurt
* Sprinkle of hot pepper sauce like Tabasco
* Low-fat Italian salad dressing

You can also combine this habit with the habit of always ordering
your salads with dressing on the side. Salad dressings can also be
a big source of fat in your diet. By ordering salads with dressing
on the side you can control how much dressing you goes into
your salads.

Remember, your positive habits will result in a change to your lifestyle.
As simple as these habits may sound, they are very powerful when combined
with your other positive habits for diet, nutrition and exercise.
