Change For The Better

Making small adjustments to our diets and exercise habits can have huge results. This is the wonderful thing about making small changes. You can make small changes and notice significant results. Simply eliminating certain foods from your diet may result in weight loss. Furthermore, if you start an exercise program, you may find those jeans a little looser. Change does not happen overnight. We must make small realistic goals that are attainable.  Once these goals have been reached (become part of your life), we need to set new goals. If we fail to set new goals we will become board, forget about our accomplished goals, and not change for the better. If your goal has been to loose 25 lbs and you have accomplished this, perhaps it is now time to up the anti.  Maybe a new goal, such as a 5 km run may be in sight?  Whatever, your goals, make sure to continuously revisit and set new ones.  If small change is "small" why resist the change? 


Making small changes to your diet can be very easy. Choosing whole wheat over white, and skim over whole milk can be small changes, but have a huge impact on your health.  Comparing Skim milk, 1%, 2% and whole milk, we can see why choosing skim is the smarter choice. 


  • Whole Milk - 150 Calories - 8g Fat
  • 2% Milk - 120 Calories - 4.5g Fat
  • 1% Milk - 100 Calories - 2.5g Fat
  • Skim Milk - 80 Calories - 0g Fat
