Avoid these high calorie coffee drinks
Jan/110
You might never think about it but it is possible that your frequent trips to the coffeehouse are making you fat! It’s become a staple in our culture to socially meet at the coffee shop, have a tasty beverage and maybe even a sugary snack. Â We’ve also fallen into the habit of hitting the caffeine when we are exhausted and/or need to focus on a task. But the downside could be that the drinks and snacks you are choosing are high in calories and making you gain weight. In this episode of Fit Life, I give you the guide you need to successfully keep your diet at a coffeehouse.

WAM This Week: Steps Toward That Beach Body!
Jun/090
This week on WithAmyMac.com, I highlighted food and eating in the the ‘news’ section.  Summer has arrived and that means skimpy dresses, short shorts and swimsuits are upon us! You know that I feel strongly about ‘dieting’ but instead feel that small lifestyle changes are what is needed to become healthy, fit and swimsuit-worthy! The focus this week is to help you put some of those small changes into your life by enjoying foods you can eat, taking advantage of summer fruits and how to ‘eat smart’ at social events like weddings, bbqs and holiday gatherings.

If you are defiant, like me, when you make a food ‘off-limits’, it instantly becomes the only food you want to eat! I don’t normally eat cake but tell me I can’t have it and I’ll becrashing wedding showers for a piece of cake! This post is about changing that mindset.  << Switch Your Food Focus to “What CAN I Eat?” >>
Posted 6/11/2009:Â Easy Healthy Food!
Eating healthy has such terrible connotations. Most people assume that their dish will be lacking flavor, that the recipe will be difficult or that they will never feel full. I’m not a chef, or even a decent cook, but I can promise you that I don’t waste calories on food that doesn’t taste great! This easy fruit salad is great for a side dish, snack or pitch-in dish and you can even use it to combine all your leftover fruit at the end of the week so no berry goes to waste!   << 4 Minute Fruit Salad Recipe >>

Social events have always been a ‘diet killer’. I insist that they don’t have to be, it just takes a little more planning, thinking and awareness so that you aren’t sabotaged. No one will ever notice when you use a salad plate as your only plate and then continually fill it from the veggie tray.    << Beat Mindless Eating at Social Events! >>
