Do you know why overweight has become such an epidemic in the modern world?  It’s simple really!  The foods we eat have so many calories that it is sometimes shocking when you find out the calorie counts.  Let me give you a peek inside the pages of The 100 Calorie Diet so you can see for yourself why we are a fat nation.

An Excerpt From The 100 Calorie Diet (Now Available at www.The100CalorieDiet.com):

Being overweight isn’t always about eating a lot of food, it’s more often about eating a small amount of food that has a ton of calories.  You may be eating these foods without realizing how many calories they contain.  If you eat 1000 calories in one meal or 1000 calories in snacks only, you’re having way too many calories.  You might think that a good choice for lunch is Bob Evan’s® Chili & Cheese Taco Salad.  Wrong!  It has 1381 calories!  Are you ready to be shocked?  Let’s look at some everyday meals that are shocking in their calorie counts:

Is this a calorie wake-up call or what?  Think about it!  Some of the everyday “regular” meals we eat contain more calories than we need for 3 days or more!  The 100 Calorie Diet and Food Counter will be helping you to put your calorie consumption in perspective.  The counter clearly shows the 100 calorie portion of all foods.  It is a true eye-opener!

Being overweight is not about protein, carbohydrates or fats.  When you get right down to the nitty - gritty, you are overweight because you eat more calories than your body requires.  Plain and simple!
