Nothing Miraculous About Mayonnaise





Ask glen!





Q. Glen, Is there anything wrong with mayonnaise


A. Yes, but for many people it's hard to imagine a sandwich or burger without good old-fashioned mayonnaise. However, there's no denying the appeal of mustard, especially since a tablespoon of mayo will set you back at least 110 calories. Truth be told, this popular condiment is chock full of fat and calories. Even the light version tacks on 50 calories a tablespoon. Mustard, on the other hand, brings along just as much flavor with a fraction of the calories. One tablespoon of yellow mustard contains just 11 calories. And mustard comes in several varieties, including brown, yellow and honey Dijon.

Glen's Bottom Line: Use Mustard!!

Save Calories At Meals





Ask Glen!





Q. Glen, I am so hungry by the time I eat that I eat everything, Any suggestions?


A. Drink a glass of water before you eat. Many times we go into a meal feeling famished. Consuming eight ounces of water 30 minutes before you sit down to eat works wonders. The water fills you up and you won't be as hungry when your meal is served. In turn, you'll be less likely to overeat. Water eases cravings and controls hunger without costing you any calories.


Glen's Bottom Line: Drink Water

Keep Your Hands Busy





Ask Glen!






Q. Glen, I am a women and I find that when I am doing nothing I pick up little snacks! I am gaining weight...Any suggestions?

A.There's an old saying that the devil makes work for idle hands. It's a sentiment with which many dieters would agree -- especially those who are constantly shoveling food into their mouths during any downtime. Instead of using spare time to pack on the pounds, do something handy. Take up knitting or scrapbooking. Surf the internet. Find an activity that keeps your hands occupied so you'll be less likely to reach for a snack.

Glen's Bottom Line: Do something with your hands!! But do not eat!!!!

The Benefits of Having A Mouth Full




Ask Glen!




Q. Glen, I am watching what I eat but every time I cook for me or my family I taste everythin. I am preparing! Any suggestions?

A. Full When you're preparing a meal, it's far too easy to graze. Many times the hand-to-mouth movement is done almost subconsciously. Maybe you feel obligated to put your meal to a taste test -- before, during and after preparation. Whether you're paying attention to the unnecessary nibbling or not, one thing is for certain -- those calories still add up. To prevent yourself from engaging in grazing, chew on a stick of gum while you're working in the kitchen. You'll be less likely to sample if you're mouth is already moving.

Glen's Bottom Line: Chew Gum while cooking!

Your Steakhouse Survival Guide





Ask Glen!





Q. Glen, I Love Ruth Chris Steak House ! How do I make through dinner?

A. It seems like a mission impossible, but you can survive the steakhouse without contributing to your bottom line. Although you may hear the call of coconut fried shrimp and French onion soup, don't respond. And when the waiter brings the basket of piping hot bread and honey butter to your table, look the other way. Instead opt for these diet smart choices that'll help you make it through the meal with your diet still intact. Healthy options include: grilled fish or chicken with a side of vegetables and a plain baked potato. A small sirloin with a side salad is also a safe option. You can also enjoy soup and salad. However, avoid cream-based soups and fat-laden dressings.

Glen's Bottom Line: Eat a steak ! ( sometime )
