Often, when I go out for dinner, it is amazing how many folks I see wasting their waistlines by eating and drinking oversized portions of fat- and sugar-laden foods. Almost the last thing you see on their plates as you pass by is an oversized salad, and if you do, the salad dressings are not on the side, but are spread amply across the whole plate. It seems also that the delis do a brisk business with all of their prepared salads and delicious meats, cheeses and tasty salads. I would suggest instead of getting a pound of those tasty, fat-laden meats, that you get a half-pound and eat less on a sandwich.

Here are some of the ways that you can reduce your waistline: * X your size by participating in routine exercise. * Beware of those high-calorie foods and drinks that are advertised by fast food joints.
