Just make sure you eat 5 to 8 servings a day of fresh fruit and veggies - frozen counts, canned doesn't, fresh is best.

The lite or low fat stuff sometimes has more sugar in it than the plain ol' whole wheat product - odd but true, they have to add something in the way of flavor back to make up for what they take out and it's usually salt or sugar. We even eat whole wheat pasta - it has a little more tooth than the white variety pasta, but I think it tastes much better. Your body burns whole grains slower and more thoroughly than processed grains.

White potatotes are fine btw as long as you dont load them up with the traditional toppings. I usually top one with turkey chili or steamed veggies, some Mrs dash and little lite dressing.

As an aside - regarding bananas - you ever see a skinny gorilla?
