      Interesting, I did not know that, not that I need to worry about that yet
  • Eating Breakfast Out
  • choose the apples, pears, grapefruits, strawberries, and/or blueberries because they are lower in sugar. Avoid fruit juices because they are filled with excess sugar, calories, and sodium.
  • Rule 2:  Eat slowly and savor each bit. Enjoy the conversation at the table. Put your knife and fork down between bites. Don’t pick it up again until you've completely swallowed the last bite - allow your body time to digest.

      that's not the way I eat
  • Beware:  Portion sizes in restaurants can be more than you need.
  • Drink water: 
  • Most of us inhale the bread basket while waiting for our entrée.

  • usually the more expensive the steak, the less fat it contains.

Healthy Indian Food

  • Masala is a blend of Indian spices that adds great flavor to a dish. It’s wonderful on its own but, do pay attention as some restaurants will a lot of oil to keep flavors intense OR add cream to their sauce.
  • Makhani is a traditional meat and/or vegetable dish cooked in a tomato sauce with ghee (clarified butter) or cream. Although rich in flavor, this may not be the most waist-friendly dish
  • -Malai is a cream that is used in many Indian dishes (often sweet dishes). So, yes, this also is most likely a heavier dish.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Clay ovens are a large part of Indian cooking. Meat, fish, or chicken are usually marinated, spiced, and cooked to perfection. Usually, it is considered a full-flavored, lower-calorie dish
  • Naan, a favorite of many is offered in array of different flavors (even whole wheat!). One piece will make a small dent (average is around 200 calories)
  • If you have had curry sauce, you know that it is typically well-seasoned AND well-spiced. Additionally, it can also be flavored with ghee making it a heavy dish
  • Coconut milk can add a great deal of flavor and is certainly healthier than a heavy cream. However, its high fat content can make one meal the equivalent of two
  • BUT, like anything, too much of a good thing loses its value. A serving of rice is ½ cup (105 calories). The average served at a restaurant – 1 cup (210 calories)
  • Most Indian desserts are cream or milk-based. This keeps calories and fat high, unfortunately

      This article is a better version of the previous one, as it describes that alterations that can be made to indian food and how we can still eat the food we love, but just with fewer calories. This doesn't only apply to indian food, but to all food in general. Making the healthier choice will be better in the long run!

Indian Food Health

  • The cooking style and ingredients greatly increase the fat in some Indian dishes, such as dairy-based curries, pakora, paneer, fried bread and samosas.
  • Many meat, vegetable and bread dishes are fried or sauteed with clarified butter, coconut oil, milk and cream, which all add a high content of saturated fat to the dish.
  • Saturated fat can increase your risk of developing heart disease
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • clarified butter, also known as ghee, in many of the recipes brings the calories from fat up to as much as 50 percent.
  • try some healthier Indian alternatives that are roasted, baked or steamed. These include steamed rice, naan, matar pulao, meat tikka or tandoori and curries made with a vegetable or dal base instead of a dairy base
  • choose an Indian restaurant that creates lower-fat versions of dishes
  • Ask the restaurant to cook your food in unsaturated oils instead of clarified butter, coconut oil or milk. Request yogurt-based curries instead of ones made with coconut oil.

      This is something I deal with on a daily basis, and I'm sure many of you can relate to. Traditionally putting in all the components that make it unhealthier in a dish puts more flavour into the dish, so without the food doesn't really taste good. Also for me especially I have an acquired taste for indian food, in that it has to taste a certain way for me to like it. This article would be more helpful it it explained how to still keep the essence and flavour of the dish but also reducing the fat and oil content.

McDonalds Marketing Strategy

shared by Aninder S on 04 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • "everyday affordability" message that drives customers to McDonald's restaurants
  • integrated campaigns centered around such initiatives as the Olympics, the Kung Fu Panda film and fresh "I'm Lovin' it" ads
  • We are always looking to tomorrow and how do we get better?"  This type of thinking and marketing philosophy has always kept the fast-food giant in the black.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Each and every day, 47 million consumers worldwide visit McDonald's because they know and love the Golden Arches, Ronald McDonald and Big Mac sandwiches.

      It's hard to avoid such a tempting restaurant with so many costumers, open 24 hours a day, affordable food, and added chemicals that make the food tasting delicious and making you want to come back. My sister herself works at McDonalds and finds it quite difficult to resist the temptation of BigMac and fries. Yes McDonald's does provide jobs for many young people like her, but McDonald's does not teach the benefits of healthy living.

  • As more and more teenagers are being classified as ov
  • weight and obese, many parents are looking to fast food as a possible cause
  • children and teenagers who are overweight has more than doubled in the past 30 years
  • a trend that seems parallel with the growth of the fast food industry
  • McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder hamburger without fries or a drink can provide 730 calories, 40 grams of fat and 1,330 milligrams of sodium. When combined with a 590-calorie order of French fries and a 1,330-calorie milk shake, it is easy to see how even infrequent visits to fast food restaurants can add to the amount of calories and fat a teenager consumes on a regular basis.

      This article is really good in showing the relationship between teen obesity and fast food by using statistics. Not only that but it also tells us how we can control and manage our weight and not get sucked into big corporate business ways, like those of McDonalds. Providing junk at an affordable price.
