Forty percent of people make New Year’s resolutions but just 8 percent achieve their goals.
Many of those diet plans and eating healthier oaths get thrown out in the garbage with the leftovers. But eating healthier isn’t an easy task.
Grocery store shelves are lined with processed foods. But can any of them be good for you?
We have a plan to help you kick off 2015 choosing healthier foods in the first place.
Jamie Mills finally thinks she's found foolproof foods for her family.
Mills says, “It's very difficult. It’s taken us a couple of years of really paying attention to everything."
Fat-free, sugar- free, all natural, there's a lot to digest.
Dietician Jamie Stolarz helps steer shoppers in the right direction.
Something she gets asked about: fat free dressings. They are loaded with salt and sugar.
In fact, many are loaded with more than two teaspoons per serving and offer zero nutrition!
Stolarz, MS, RDN, LDN, a Publix dietician, advises, “To absorb the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, we need a little bit of fat in there."
She suggests unsaturated fat dressings, like vinegar mixed with olive oil, canola oil, walnut oil or flaxseed oil.
Another food that may fool you is dried cranberries. They may seem like the "go to" snack, but since they tend to be tart, they're packed with added sugar. And just a third of a cup contains 123 calories.
Stolarz says instead try golden raisins, prunes, figs or apricots.
Other top picks for processed foods include Oikos caramel Greek yogurt.
A four-ounce container has just 110 calories, zero fat, 10 grams of protein and 17 grams of carbs.
A serving of Starkist yellowfin tuna in extra virgin olive oil in this pouch packs just 190 calories, 18 grams of protein and 13 grams of fat.
And V8 spicy hot low sodium vegetable juice has just 50 calories per cup and adds up to two more vegetable servings to your day.
Some other food for thought:
Stolarz says most any food can be labeled "all natural."
There's no standardized approval for the use of that word on food labels.
Also, all protein diets aren't the way to go. Women need 46 grams a day and men need 56 grams per day.
