Here's an easy way to lose weight !

The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. This principle is widely used in business but it can also apply to your eating habits.

80% of the calories you consume most likely come from 20% of the foods you eat.

Not convinced? Keep a food journal for a week. Record the foods you eat and their associated calories – you may be surprised.

By focusing on the 20% of foods that contribute most to your caloric intake, you can make significant changes in your health. Think about the nutrient quality of those foods.

Do 80% of your calories come from candy, chips, cookies, soda – foods that have very little nutritional value?

Or do they come from fruits, vegetables, nuts, berries, and lean meats – foods that are high in vitamins and minerals?

You see, it's not just about the calories – it's about providing your body with the right nutrients and energy to function at peak performance.

You don't have to make drastic changes in your diet to see positive results.

• Try swapping out those cookies for an apple and a handful of dry roasted peanuts.
  
• Or, if you must eat at a drive-through window, skip the greasy hamburger and opt for a grilled chicken sandwich without the fattening sauces.
  

Your body will appreciate it and you will feel better. As a side benefit, you will probably shed a few of those unwanted pounds.

To Share "ATTITUDE"

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes.
