What was I saying just yesterday? Although the title of this piece would seem incredibly self-evident ("To avoid middle-age weight gain, drop the chips and hot dogs"), their findings are fascinatingly specific about the ways in which a calorie is not a calorie:
Some specifics:
**"Those with a taste for certain unhealthy foods packed on pounds faster, however. Eating one serving of potato chips per day was associated with an extra 1.7 pounds every four years, while a daily serving of french fries was associated with an extra 3.4 pounds. And each daily serving of soda, processed meat, and red meat was associated with about 1 extra pound."
** "On the other hand, some foods appeared to fight weight gain. For each daily serving of yogurt they ate, the study participants gained about 0.8 fewer pounds than expected, and for each daily serving of fruit and nuts, they gained about half a pound less over each four-year period."
And speaking of yogurt, fruit, and nuts, I'll be back soon to tell you about great breakfast foods for hypoglycemics.
