Nutrition Discussion & Grocery Shopping Tour

Thank you Louise Tucci, Denise Pelletier and Doris Brodhead for attending this phase’s Nutrition Discussion and Grocery Shopping Tour.  Apply what you learned and you’ll experience both short and long term body changes!

Nutrition Tip

Liquid calories:  great for weight gain, bad for for weight loss.

If you want to gain weight, drink liquid calories like smoothies, shakes, juices, alcohol, creamer, half & half, etc…

If you want to lose weight, don’t drink calories & instead drink water or its derivatives (tap, seltzer, mineral, ice, club soda, coffee, green tea, …).
