Simple tips for truck drivers to lose weight

Simple tips for truck drivers to lose weight

via prodrivers

Walking: One of the easiest ways drivers can stay fit on the road is to walk a mile whenever they stop. To put that into context, one mile equates to 130 calories burned for a 250 pound male. Even one mile per day can eventually lead to a weight loss of over six pounds. An easy way to measure a mile is to walk 32 times around a standard commercial truck.

Vegetables: Replacing snacks with vegetables is another easy way to maintain weight. For instance, on one hand, a cup of sugar snap peas is approximately 35 calories with fiber and vitamins. On the other hand, a candy bar is 240 calories with 5 grams of saturated fat.
Water: This is an obvious way to stay hydrated without any calories to maintain energy. A 12-ounce soft drink equates to 140 calories, and can drain energy later in the day.
Grilled: Even chicken grilled maintains high levels of lean protein. But when it is fried or greasy, it becomes loaded with fat, trans fats and saturated fats.
Portions: This is particularly important because even food that is low in nutrition can be made more healthy with lower portions. Small reductions in caloric intake can go a long way over time. For instance, medium-sized fries instead of large can save between 100 to 200 calories, which in turn can lead to a weight loss of over six pounds over the course of six months.

Fresh Tomatillo Salsa Verde Recipe

If you like your salsa hot and sharp, you will enjoy this recipe for a fresh tomatillo salsa verde (green sauce). It is a very easy to make uncooked salsa. The uncooked tomatillos are quite acidic and when you add 4 serrano chiles, seeds and all, your salsa is gonna pack some punch. The flavor stands up well to grilled beef. We love this salsa with carne asada. It's also a great salsa for grilled chicken.
