Nutrition Tip of the Week Better Burgers: Did you know leaving the cheese and mayo off of your burger could save 100 calories? Better topping choices include lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onions. Adapted from "Smartmouth", Center for Science in the Public Interest's website. www.cspinet.org Physical Activity of the Week To lose body fat, you have to burn off more calories than you consume. Exercise can help contribute to the calorie deficit, but exercise is often overrated as a way to reduce body fat. Exercise is better used as a tool to help maintain weight loss, because it helps relieve stress (which can reduce stress eating), helps you feel good about yourself, boosts your metabolism, and increases the desire to feed yourself healthfully.
