Theaters offer healthy snacks

We don't seem to get out to the movies much anymore.  It's easier to stay at home with a rented DVD.  I also have a hard time with snacking at theaters.  It is an ingrained habit and I usually overdo it on the popcorn.

The other day, we went to a local movie theater and I was surprised at the changes that have been made.  All menu items were listed with calorie counts.  There were many healthy selections, including a popular brand of low-calorie ice cream sandwich.

With that experience came the thought that we really no longer have excuses regarding nutritional education.  It has become readily available, either at eating locations or on the Internet. 

Try looking up some of your favorite places.  You will likely find surprises, some pleasant, some enlightening.

Print the nutritional page and decide what you will have before you go.  This helps eliminate the temptation to change your mind when you get there.  You can even tell them you don't need a menu if your willpower needs a little boost.

New book available

I have an exciting announcement to share with readers:  my new book is available. 

It is intended to provide inspiration and advice for obese and morbidly obese people. 

My ultimate goal is to reach as many people as possible and stop as many obesity-related "suicides" as I can.  I want the morbidly obese to know that there is hope and to know what losing weight can do for them.  I want to express the joy of feeling fit and healthy.  I want them to know there is someone who knows just how they feel.

The book, "The Healthy Living Lifestyle," is available at Amazon.com.  Search under "Amy Culver."  Visit my website for additional details.
