What if... it went the other way?

Star Wars almost didnt make it to the big screen. In fact, the script and story alone almost didnt even lift off the ground. United Artists and Universal Studios both turned down George Lucas when they were first approached to finance the film. Call it luck or destiny again, but then 20th Century Fox Executive Allan Ladd Jr decided to gamble on the movie and, wow, did they hit the jackpot!

The role of Han Solo was passed on by several actors such as Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Nick Nolte, Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, and James Caan. Good thing too because the force might not have been right if Harrison Ford was not tapped for the role. Fact is, Ford was working as one of the carpenters on the set when he auditioned for the role. Some call it luck, but we believe its called destiny.

Wow! Can you imagine any other actor besides Michael J. Fox playing the role of Marty McFly in the iconic movie franchise Back to the Future? But its true! Another actor by the name of Eric Stoltz (shown above) has already began shooting for the role until both producer and director agreed Stoltz is far too serious for the role which is supposed to be a futuristic-comedy film. They have to re-shoot five weeks of scenes and added $3 million (!) to the budget. But they were proven right and, as they say, the rest is history!

Taking Charge of Your Brain Health Be Socially Active

The human brain, sometimes called the 3 pound universe within, is one of your most vital organs. It plays a role in every action and every thought and just like the rest of your body, it needs to be looked after. By making healthy lifestyle choices now, you may be able to reduce your risk of developing Alzheimers disease and improve your brains ability to sustain long-term health. This sheet is part of a series that provides practical action steps, based on current research, which you can take to improve your brain health. Will it prevent Alzheimers disease? There are no guarantees, but healthy lifestyle choices will help keep your brain as healthy as possible as you age. And since a healthier brain can withstand illness better, its important to take action on the things you can control -- lifestyle choices.

Staying connected socially helps you stay connected mentally. Research shows that people who regularly interact with others maintain their brain function better than those who dont. Socializing appears to have a protective effect that may help lessen your risk of developing Alzheimers disease. Maintain old friendships and make new ones. Stay socially active through work, volunteer activities, travel, hobbies, family and friends. Be open to new experiences. Staying active and involved with life sends healthy messages to your brain and body. Being involved with others also helps to reduce stress, boost mood and keep relationships strong.

So, Socrates continued, you want to tell me something bad about him, but youre not certain its true. You may still pass the test though, beHold on a minute, Socrates replied. Before tell- cause theres one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend ing me anything I`d like you to pass a little test. going to be useful to me? Its called the Triple Filter Test. Triple filter? That`s right, Socrates continued. Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what youre going to say. Thats why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true? No, the man said, actually I just heard about it and... All right, said Socrates. So you don`t really No, not really. Well, concluded Socrates, if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all? This is why Socrates was a great philosopher & held in such high esteem. Friends, use this triple filter each time you hear loose talk about any of your friends. We teach little by what we say; we teach more by what we do; we teach most by what we are...

You
wealthy older woman decides to go on a photo safari to Africa, and takes her faithful aged poodle, Cuddles, along for the company. One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that hes lost. Wandering about, he notices a young leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having him for lunch.
The old poodle thinks, Oh, oh! Im in deep trouble! Noticing some bones on the ground

Dont Say...
close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to pounce, the old poodle exclaims loudly, Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here? Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike. A look of terror comes over him and he quietly slinks away into the trees. Whew! says the leopard, That was close! That old poodle nearly had me for lunch! Meanwhile, a monkey, who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes. But the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figuring that something must be up, follows in pursuit. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, Here, monkey. Hop on my back and come see whats going to happen to that conniving canine! Now the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, What am I going to do now? But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attacker, pretending he doesnt see them. Just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says with an impatient voice, Where the heck is that monkey? I sent him off over an hour ago to bring me another leopard!

The moral of this story... Dont mess with old folks! Age and wisdom will always overcome youth and skill! Bull and brilliance only come with age and experience.

The Tablecloth T
They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc., and on December 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished. On December 19 a terrible tempest a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high. The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home. On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.

he brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn, arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve.

By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus.. She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45 minutes later. She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc.,to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area. Then he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet Pastor, she asked, where did you get that tablecloth? The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria. The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten the Tablecloth. The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria. When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her husband or her home again. The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but

When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need.

she made the pastor keep it for the church. The pastor insisted on driving her home, that was the least he could do. She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job. What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return. One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasnt leaving. The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike. He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years in between.

The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the womans apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.

Without Antibiotics or Cranberry Juice

rinary tract infections affect up to half of all women and are responsible for untold numbers of doctor visits each year.
Women are more prone to urinary tract infections than men, because of their shorter urethras. Adult men have a bacterial growth inhibitor injected directly by their prostate glands. Youve probably heard that drinking cranberry juice can be helpful in supporting a healthy urinary tract. Studies do show that cranberry juice can help by promoting a healthy flora. What many studies fail to mention is that most cranberry juice is loaded with fructose, that can potentially lead to health problems. So, in effect, you are trading good urinary health for blood sugar instability, stress on your liver, and increased uric acid levels that can raise negative health sequelae. But there is a great discovery that has come from the cranberry juice-urinary tract connection. The active ingredient in cranberry juice responsible for its benefit to your urinary

system has been identified and that is D-mannose. D-mannose can be derived from berries, peaches, apples, and some other plants. Pure D-mannose is amazingly 10-50 times stronger than cranberry, non-toxic and completely safe, with NO adverse effects. Why drink sugary cranberry juice if you can get the active ingredient instead, with none of the damaging metabolic consequences? D-mannose can help cure more than 90 percent of all UTIs within 1 to 2 days! A new study supports the theory that at least 36 milligrams of proanthocyanidins (PAC) are needed to reduce the adhesion of E. coli bacteria to urinary tract walls. A lower dose proved to be less effective. However, according to NutraIngredients: On the other hand, a higher dose of 72 mg was even more efficient at protecting against bacterial adhesion in the urinary tract, according to findings in the open-access journal BMC Infectious Diseases.

To add insult to injury, your body starts sending out hunger signals, and guess what....

You end up eating again (which makes you fat)!

CALORIES from Saturated Fat
The diet that promotes eating fatty foods that are high in protein, but eliminates carbs altogether is partially a good idea since youre cutting out the bad carbs, but theres one thing you have to keep in mind:

Eating a diet loaded with fatty foods such as bacon, sausage, and other red meats will have a terrible toll on your health. If you want to die of a heart attack early this would be the diet for you.

THE BEST STRATEGY

For weight loss and optimal health, the best strategy would be to avoid fatty foods and eat a diet that consists of only the right kinds of fats and carbs - whole grain products, beans, nuts, fruits, vegetables, lean poultry and fish. The slow digestive quality of these complex carbohydrates help keep you full, and since youre not pigging out on saturated fat, youre also keeping your body healthy.

hree men died and went to heaven. At the gate St. Peter tells them, Before you go into heaven, we are going to give you each a vehicle with which to get around. The way we determine what type of vehicle you will get is by how faithful you were to your wives. Now, he says, turning to the first man, were you true to your wife?

Yes, I was, St. Peter, says the first man. I never strayed. From the day I married her to the day I died, I slept with no woman other than my wife. I loved her very deeply. As reward for your complete fidelity, says St. Peter, I now give you these keys to a beautiful Roll-Royce.

The man happily accepts the keys, and St. Peter turns to the second man. Sir, he says, were you faithful to you wife? Well, St. Peter, says the second man a little shyly, I must admit that when I was much younger, I did stray once or twice. But I did love my wife very much, and after those minor indiscretions, I was completely faithful until my dying day. St. Peter looks down at the man and says, As a reward for good marital conduct, I am giving you these keys to a Pontiac. As the man takes the keys from his St. Peter turns to the third man. Sir, he says, were you faithful to you wife? St. Peter, says the man, I screwed everything I could, every chance I got. There wasnt a week of my marriage that I didnt sleep with someone other than, wife. But I must admit to you, St. Peter, that it was a problem I had, because I really did love my wife very much. Well, says St. Peter, we do know that you did love your wife and that does count for something, so this is what you get. With that he rolls out a ten-speed bicycle and gives it to the man. The gates of heaven open, and the three men enter Sometime later the man on the bicycle is riding along, when he sees that the man with the Rolls Royce has pulled over and is sitting on the bumper of his car. He is sobbing uncontrollably. The man pulls his bicycle up next to the man and says, Hey, pal, whats the matter? What could possibility be wrong? You have a beautiful Rolls Royce to drive around in? I know, says the man through his sobs, but I just saw my wife on roller skates!

How do I Love Thee?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every days Most quiet need; by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhoods faith I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath. Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrnett Browning

Baked Beans
So, she stopped at the diner and before she knew it, she had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home she putt-putted, and upon ar-

nce there lived a woman who had a maddening passion for baked beans.

She loved them but unfortunately, they had always have a very embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction to her. Then one day she met a man and fell in love. When it became apparent that they would marry she thought to herself, He is such a sweet and gentle man, he would never go for this carrying on. She made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans. Some months later her car broke down on the way home from work. Since she lived in the country she called her husband and told him that she would be late because she had to walk home. On her way, she passed a small diner and the odor of the baked beans was more than she could stand. Since she still had miles to walk, she figured that she would walk off any ill effects by the time she reached home.

She loved baked beans but unfortunately, they have a very embarrassing lively reaction to her.

riving home she felt reasonably sure she could control it. Her husband seemed excited to see her and exclaimed delightedly, Darling, I have a surprise for dinner tonight. He then blindfolded her and led her to her chair at the table. She seated herself and just as he was about to remove the blindfold from his wife, the telephone rang.

He made her promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned. He then went to answer the telephone. The baked beans she had consumed were still affecting her and the pressure was becoming almost unbearable, so while her husband was out of the room she seized the opportunity, shifted her weight to one leg and let it go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of pulpwood mill. She took her napkin and fanned the air around her vigorously. Then, she shifted to the other cheek and ripped three more, which reminded her of cooked cabbage. Keeping her ears tuned to the conversation in the other room, she went on like this for another ten minutes. When the telephone farewells signaled the end of her freedom, she fanned the air a few more times with her napkin, placed it on her lap and folded her hands upon it, smiling contentedly to herself. She was the picture of innocence when her husband returned, apologizing for taking so long, he asked her if she peeked, and she assured him that she had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and she was surprised!!! There were dinner guests seated around the table to wish her a Happy Birthday!!!

This is amazing but according to the writer, it works. Please keep these very handy, excellent tips. Do take a minute to read this. Youll never know but ones life may depend on you and this First Aid Procedure.

The sender wish she knew about this first aid before her father was paralyzed and later died after suffering from a stroke. However, it is not too late to share it with others. Please read and pass it on. When a stroke occurs, the capillaries in the brain shall gradually burst. When a stroke occurs, stay calm. No matter where the victim is, do not move him/her. Because if moved, the capillaries will burst. Help the victim to sit up where he is to prevent him from falling over again, and then the bloodletting may now begin. If you have in your home a syringe with a sterile hyphodermic needle, that would be the best, otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight pin will do. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it, and then use it to prick the tip of all 10 fingers. There

are no specific accupuncture points. Just prick about a mm from the fingernail. Prick till blood comes out. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze the spot with your fingers. When all 10 fingertips are already bleeding, wait a few minutes then the victim shall regain consciousness. If the victims mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they are red. Then prick each ear lobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each ear lobe. After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness. Wait till the victim regains his normal state without any abnormal symptoms; then take him to the nearest medical clinic or hospital. If the stroke victim is taken in a hurry by an ambulance to a hospital, the bumpy trip may cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst. If his life could be saved through this procedure and manages to walk un-aided thereafter, then it is by the grace of his ancestors. The writer learned about letting blood to save life from a Chinese traditional doctor Ha BuTing who lives in Sun-Juke. Furthermore, he also had a personal experience administering it. Therefore he can say this method is 100% effective. In 1979, he was teaching in FungGaap College in Tai-Chung. One afternoonwhile attending to her class, another teacher came running to her classroom saying: Mr. Liu, come quick, our supervisor has had a stroke!

students to go to the pharmacy outside the school to buy a syringe set which he used to prick Mr. Chens 10 fingers tips with. A few minutes later and after all 10 fingers had bled after pricking (each with a pea-sized drop of blood), Mr. Chens face regained its color and his eyes vision and expression returned to normal. But his mouth was still crooked. So Mr. Liu pulled his ears to fill them with blood. When his ears became red, he pricked his right earlobe twice to let out 2 drops of blood. When both earlobes had already bled with about two drops of blood at each lobe, a miracle happened. Within 3-5 minutes the shape of Mr. Chens mouth returned to normal and his speech became clearer They let him rest for a while, gave him a cup of warm tea, then helped him go down the stairs, drove him to Wei-Wah Hospital. He rested one night and was discharged the following day and returned to school to teach. Everything worked normally. There were no ill after-effects. On the other hand, the usual stroke victim usually suffers irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way to the hospital. As a result, these victims never recover.

Stroke is the no. 2 cause of death. The lucky ones will stay alive but may remain paralyzed for life. It is such a horrible thing to happen in ones life. If we can all remember this bloodletting method and start this emergency lifesaving method/procedure as soon as anyone Mr. Liu immediately went to the 3rd floor. suffers a stroke, a victim of stroke may be When he saw the supervisor, Mr.Chen Fu-Tien, revived and regain consciousness and normal his color was off, his speech was slurred, his body functions in a matter of minutes or until mouth was crooked, bearing all the signs and such time that it will be less risky to have him symptoms of a stroke. brought to the nearest hospital in an ambulance.

Egypts Great Pyramids 2. Taj Majal 3. Grand Canyon 4. Panama Cana; 5. Empire State Building 6. St. Peters Basilica 7. Chinas Great Wall While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she is having trouble with her list. The girl replied, Yes, a little. I couldnt quite make up my mind because there are so many. The teacher said, Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help. The girl hesitated, then read, I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. To see 2. To hear 3. To touch 4. To taste 5. To feel 6. To laugh 7. To love

Upon reciting her Wonders of the World, it seems as if time stood still. The room was so quite you could have heard a pin drop. The student asked if what she wrote was wrong and the teacher can only smile and say, No, my dear, you did right. A gentle reminder the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

WONDERS THE WORLD

The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are, in reality, the most wonderful things in life!

Get Things Off Your Mind

A lot of times its hard to fall asleep in the first place, because your mind is running in circles. Its either something that is worrying you, or maybe youre just excited about an idea and you cant stop thinking about it.

ips for T

Better Sleep

good nights rest means that you get one chunk of solid sleep without being woken up, partially woken up, or even noticing any sounds while youre in a dream state.

Eliminate Noise and TV

Make sure your room is as quiet as possible. This especially means no television or music Many people rely on television and music to put them to sleep, but this severely affects the actual quality of sleep you are getting.

Darkness
The ideal setting for quality sleep is a perfectly

dark room. Other than your alarm clock, try and seal up any possible sources of light coming from outside the room.

Unfortunately, Lots of Sleep does not mean Quality Sleep

Be Careful With Naps

Dont take a nap if the afternoon has already passed and it should never be more than an hour long. The shorter -- the better.

Dont Eat Before Bedtime

Yes its true, ating makes us feel sleepy right away, but it doesnt help the actual quality of sleep. Your body will be digesting food while its supposed to be resting.

Avoid Exhaustive Physical or Mental Activity Before Sleep

Read a boring book to help you sleep, the more boring the better. Let your brain relax before bed time. Allow the body to relax before going to sleep.

Avoid Alcohol, Caffeine, and Smoking

Booze may help you fall asleep, but will not improve the quality of your sleep. Avoid alcohol and cigarettes, especially before bed time, including the amount of caffeine you consume since it has a lingering effect.

Booze may help you fall asleep, but dont ever think it will improve the quality of your sleep.
Put Your Pets in Another Room
Sleeping with a snoring spouse could be pretty bad (haha!), but sleeping with animals is equally disruptive to your sleep.

Regular Exercise
People who get regular exercise sleep better, its as simple as that.

Avoid Too Much Water

Make sure to empty yourself beforehand or youre going to wake up to use the bathroom

Meditation and Breathing Exercises

Simple, repetitive exercises (like counting backwards from a million) can bore the mind into falling asleep.

Sleep Supplements
A half banana (potassium) or glass of warm milk is comforting and can help you relax.

Massages
A massage is a great way to help you relax, no question about it.

Credit Card
A
married couple both got a call, supposedly coming from VISA and MasterCard, to warn them of a flagged transaction concerning their card. The scam works like this: Person calling says, This is (name), and Im calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460 your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and Im calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by (name of bank). Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a Marketing company based in Arizona? When you say No, the caller continues with,

Scam

listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this Control Number. The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. Do you need me to read it again? Heres the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works The caller then says, I need to verify you are in possession of your card. Hell ask you to turn your card over and look for some numbers. There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of your card number, the next 3 are the security Numbers that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card.

WARNING. Seems the scammers have a new and clever way to get your credit card information. Please read. This is No Joke! Note, the callers do not ask for your card number. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, youll protect yourself.

Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), is that correct? You say yes. The caller continues - I will be starting a Fraud investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number

The caller will ask you to read the 3 numbers to him. After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, hell say, That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other questions? After you say No, the caller then thanks you and states, Dont hesitate to call back if you have further questions or inquiries, and hangs up.

Tell everybody that this scam is happening.

You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the Card number. But after being called, the couple returned the call to the VISA Security Department within 20 minutes to ask a question. And, whew! Are they are glad they did! The REAL VISA Security Department told them it was a scam and in the last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charged to their card. Long story made short - The husband and wife made a real fraud report and closed the VISA account. VISA is reissuing them a new number. What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Dont give it to them. Instead, tell them youll call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their conversation. The real VISA people explained that they will never ask for anything on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you are giving them access to using your card. The scammers have ways of finding your card number. It is the 3 Digit PIN Numbers they dont have access to. By the time you get your statement youll see charges for purchases you didnt make, and by then its almost too late and more difficult to actually file a fraud report. What makes this more remarkable is that on the following Thursday, the wife got another call from a certain Jason Richardson of MasterCard with a word-for-word repeat of the VISA scam. This time she didnt let him finish. She hung up!

ho doesnt like to eat out? For most of us, its not just a meal, its our lifestyle. The fact is, when we are out and about we are eating here, there and everywhere.
We can choose where to eat, but sometimes there arent many choices. Or we cant actually control what is served or on the menu. Meeting friends out may mean you dont get to choose where to eat. But there are things we can do each time we eat out that can make a big difference in both eating

well and weight management, depending on your aim. Portion size It isnt just the fast food places that are super-sizing. Many restaurants serve much more than what are considered normal portion sizes (based on a 2000 calorie diet). But thats of little help when the plate arrives at the table. And for many of us, what we see is what we eat. Calorie chaos The number of calories you take in is very important; also important are the types of calories youre taking in. The nutrients and substances contained in what we eat can help or hinder our goal to eat well.

out, Eat eat well, lose

weight

Take a look and make informed choices. Fountain drinks (those sweetened with sugar, fructose, corn syrup and the like) have many calories with little nutritive value. Too much fat in the wrong forms (saturated fat, trans fat) is not good. What you can do Look and ask for lean, low-fat (or fat-free). Most fast food restaurants have these options today. Restaurants may not point out which menu items are lean or low-fat, but the type of entree (fish,

pork loin, a lean sirloin) and how it is cooked (fried vs. baked or grilled) are usually good indicators. When in doubt, ask how the item is prepared. Include good calories and nutrients. Add and include vegetables and fruits, many of which have good fiber and will help you feel full without a lot of calories. Watch the salt and sugars. You might be surprised just what items are higher in salt. Look for the nutritional labeling and the Daily Value (ideally, DV should be less than 5%). Skip the sugary drinks. Better yet (nutritionally), go for a low-fat milk. The protein in milk helps satiate, or make you feel full.
