"Does this label make my butt look fat?" and other label advice

Hi everyone,
A brief post directing you to another blog I follow: Eat Like An RD.  This was a great summary of some of the most important things to look for when purchasing foods and using food labels to your advantage.  Enjoy!  http://www.appforhealth.com/2010/12/does-this-label-make-my-butt-look-fat/

Remember, if weight loss is on your "to-do" list this holiday season, make sure to keep a food diary - that one step has been proven to significantly help us "maintain, not gain" and even lose weight during the holiday season.  Want more?  Check out some of the tools at http://www.wellwithbluemt.com/.
