| Saturday "Smart Swap!": Save Loco Taco Calories | released: 03/12/2010 |
|
Save crazy calories with this week's swap at two Mexican style eateries ... if you order the Crispy Chicken Crisper tacos at Chili's, you'll be taking in nearly 2,000 calories! As the name implies, the tacos are made with crispy fried chicken which ratchets up the exact calorie count to 1,990 and over 100 grams of fat. Stop instead at Baja Fresh and order their Original Baja Chicken tacos and cut your calories down to 630 and you get three of them (same as the Crisper tacos!). That's savings of 1,330 calories! ¡Aye caramba! Saturday "Smart Swap!": Save Loco Taco Calories originally appeared on About.com Weight Loss on Saturday, March 13th, 2010 at 03:36:18. | |

If your fees for a weight-loss program are considered medical expenses, you may be able to write them off on your taxes! A weight-loss program prescribed by a doctor in order to treat a specific medical condition (i.e., obesity, diabetes) is required. While OTC diet products do not qualify for the break, if your doctor prescribes a special food or beverage you may be able to deduct the extra cost (if it is more than the cost of your normal food expenses). You can only deduct these or any other kind of medical expenses if you itemize and the expenses are greater than 7.5% of your AGI (adjusted gross income). For a list of qualifying expenses, see IRS publication 502 at irs.gov or talk to your accountant.

Cereal, again? Make the switch to eggs in the a.m.! Researchers at Louisiana State University found people who ate two eggs each morning lost 65% more weight than those who ate a bagel breakfast with the same number of calories despite the fact that both groups followed a reduced-calorie diet. The egg eaters reported feeling fuller and ate fewer calories throughout the day, so try adding eggs to your daily menu. Concerned about cholesterol? Put your fears at bay: The egg-eating group's cholesterol levels did not go up.

| Do Yourself a Flavor Favor | released: 03/09/2010 |
|
Looking for a way to improve low-fat foods without adding too many calories? Choose something with a strong flavor, like an aged cheese, so you can use a small amount of it while still enjoying its flavor. For instance, adding something like parmesan cheese can help you enjoy those vegetables you don't exactly love just a little more ... which just may lead you to select them more often!
