YEAR AFTER YEAR, THE SURVEYS SHOW AMERICANS’ NUMBER 1 RESOLUTION FOR THE NEW YEAR IS TO LOSE WEIGHT. OUR INTERNET CORRESPONDENT MIKE WENDLAND HAS SOME WEB SITES TO KEEP YOU ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW BY GIVING YOU THE REAL SKINNY ON ALL THE NUMBERS YOU NEED TO SHED THOSE POUNDS THIS YEAR.
[PACKAGE TRT = 1:15]
READ ‘EM AND WEEP. THE FAST FOOD CALORIE NUMBERS THAT IS. THIS WEB SITE CALLED CHOW BABY HAS ALL THE NUTRITIONAL INFO YOU NEED TO STICK WITH YOUR GOALS.
FROM ARBY’S TO WHITE CASTLE, YOU CAN SELECT FROM A LONG DROP DOWN LIST OF FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS. JUST ABOUT EVERY CHAIN IS HERE AND ONCE YOU PICK A PLACE, YOU’RE PRESENTED WITH A LIST OF ALL THE MEAL CHOICES ON THE MENU.
I ALSO LIKE THE CALORIEKING SITE. IT HAS A NUTRITIONAL SEARCH FEATURE ON MORE THAN 30,000 DIFFERENT FOODS THAT YOU PREPARE YOURSELF OR GET FROM A RESTAURANT. ALSO CHECK OUT THE CREATE-A-MEAL FEATURE THAT LETS YOU BUILD A MENU AND LEARN ABOUT NUTRITION BY DRAGGING FOOT ITEMS OVER TO A PLATE.
HERE’S ONE MORE CALORIE-COUNTING SITE…CALLED CALORIECONTROL.ORG .
BESIDES CALORIE INFO, YOU’LL ALSO FIND A BODY MASS INDEX CALCULATOR, AN EXERCISE CALCULATOR AND – ONCE YOU GET WHERE YOU NEED TO BE – A WEIGHT MAINTENANCE CALCULATOR. [WENDLAND SU CLOSE] CG= MIKE WENDLAND
IF YOU WANT TO CHECK OUT THESE SITES HEAD OVER TO PCMIKE.COM… I’VE BUILT IN LINKS TO EVERYTHING I JUST SHOWED YOU. AND ONE OF THE THINGS YOU’LL FIND IS THAT MANY OF THESE SITES HAVE PROGRAMS YOU CAN DOWNLOAD TO YOUR PHONE OR A PDA…. WHICH MEANS… NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO…THERE ARE NO EXCUSES THIS YEAR.
