Scale Back Alabama 2015 will be
starting soon and to get everyone ready, we're sending these
pre-contest "Appetizers" to all participants from last year.
This week's appetizer should help you eat healthy during the
holidays. For more information on the 2015 program (which is new
and improved), go to www.ScaleBackAlabama.com.
This year, you can register yourself online, starting in early January
and then visit a weigh-in site to complete the registration and do
your initial weigh-in.
A Guilt-Free
Holiday
With all of the easily
accessible goodies and large holiday meals, it may seem impossible to
eat sensibly this time of year. But many of you know it's possible! It
just takes a little thought and planning.
We've provided a few
simple swaps you can make in your cooking, baking and snacking that
will add up to a big change in how many calories you consume each day.
Not only will you take in fewer calories, but these swaps will also
help you consume more immune-boosting nutrients that are i mportant
during this cold and flu season.
