Tip of the Day: Think Simple
Next time you go to the grocery store to buy that bag of potato chips you love so much, turn the package around and read the labels. Chances are you'll know what those first few ingredients are, but notice that the other 15 words are words you have never heard before? These words are the chemicals that are added to your food to make them taste so good to you, so you'll never put them down. Think simple. Read your food labels and shoot for foods with less ingredients on the back, and with ingredients you actually recognize. Don't you want to know what's in your food? You can find these healthier versions of chips, cereals, yogurts etc. in the "healthy" section of your grocery store, or even a special nutritional grocery store.

2 servings, and 202 calories a serving!
- 1 cup canned apricot halves in light syrup
- 6 ice cubes
- 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt

Exercise: 2 Arm Clean and Press
Stand with your legs a little wider than your hips, and hold two 15-30 pound kettlebells in front of your body with your knuckles facing forward. Bend your knees slightly and bend your torso forward at your hips. Push your buttocks forward, and swing the kettlebells up at the same time to your shoulders. Your knuckles should be facing out to your sides. The kettlebells' bottoms should be facing toward the ground the entire time as they roll around your forearms. Do not flip them over your hands. Bend your knees and tuck your buttocks beneath your body for balance.
