The pamphlet's title was "The New American Plate; Meals for a Healthy Weight and a Healthy Life". I was a bit shock when I learn that this pamphlet is actually proposing recipes that not are for short-term use. It is suggesting recipes that will become part of your regular day, a recipe that will be eaten on a regular basis, food that will be part of your "way of life".

Whenever he noticed us losing weight, he would always give us give us vitamins or asked our mother to cook healthier foods. That only stopped when I entered the sixth grade.

It was in 1998 that the government issued a new way of determining whether the person is underweight, overweight, obese or just normal. Before, the only way you can say a person is in any of the said weight category is by determining the gender, the age, height and weight of a person.

Bread For Diet? No Thanks.

I recently told you that I enrolled in a gym program with my friend. I'm now having doubts about the capability of the said gym to give good advise and proper programs including a healthy diet.

In the process, my tendency of being hypoglycemic is fighting with the diabetic genes, making me on the middle.
