Over Sixty? Healthy Eating Habits and Common Sense
If you’re over sixty you have probably tried your share of diets and you probably worry just a little about your weight. Of course there are those people who can eat everything they want and never gain a bit, but they’re rare and I’m not one of them.
Diets come and go and many tend to be faddish. Have you tried the cabbage soup diet or the banana and cottage cheese diet? If so, you most likely won’t try them again. Food is an integral part of a healthy and happy lifestyle––we need to enjoy our meals. So what to do about those ten or twenty pounds that need to go? Ask Granny has some ideas!
