Are there easy tips and tricks to help me cut down on calories?

1. Are you eating out? Eat half and save the rest for later or the next day. Did you know a typical restaurant lunch or dinner can be 1,000 to 2,000 calories. This doesn’t even include the bread, appetizer, drink and dessert. Look at the calories you can save.

2. When eating out, if you are one who likes dessert, order one to share. Then you don’t feel like you are missing out on sweets you may desire.

3. When eating your foods, use a salad plate instead of a big dinner plate.

4. It is good if you eat your low calorie foods first. You can start with salads, broth soups, veggies. Then eat your meats and startches last. By the time you get to your starches, you will be content and full with smaller portions of your higher-calorie choices,

5. Switch to a 1% milk, instead of whole milk. Id you know if you drink one 8-oz glass a day and switch to 1% milk, that you can lose 5 lbs in a year. Yeah you

Which is Better – Green tea or Wu-Yi Tea?

Wu-yi (Oolong) and Green Teas contain a large amount of polyphenols. It appears that the health benefit of either tea is the effect of polyphenols.

Green tea is from the same plant as (Camellia sinensis.) as Wu-Yi tea or Oolong tea. After the tea leaves are plucked and sorted, they are either steamed or pan fired. Green tea does not go through the fermentation process. Green tea does have less caffeine than Wu-Yi tea.

For green tea, the leaves are processed and dried in such a way as to avoid fermentation. Oolong tea is partially fermented.

Oolong Tea tea has a caffeine content between that of green teas and black teas. The flavor is typically not as robust as black tea or as subtle as green tea, but has its own fragrant subtleties. It can be compared to the taste and aroma of fresh flowers or fruit.

Since both teas contain large amounts of polyphenols, they may have antioxidant, anticancer, and antiviral properties, as well as regulating appetite and weightloss.

Which is better? I drink both Green tea and Wu-yi Tea. Oolong may have a little more caffeine than Green Tea so that may be a determining factor if you are to stay away from caffeine. They both may have polyphenols so both teas may have a profound effect on the way you feel and the benefits to your health and heart.

Always consult with your doctor first before starting a weight loss program or using any products that may affect your health or any disease you may have.
