Popcorn for those chilly winter nights.

What do you think?

Is popcorn a healthy snack that we weight-conscious people ought to enjoy? Especially while curled up under a cozy blanket as you enjoy a good flick on the tube. Picture the fireplace roaring in your peripheral vision to create a wonderful scene.

Why, of course it is. Just be sure to limit the butter/margarine, and eliminate the salt all together. Three cups of unsalted popcorn is the equivalent of one of your daily starch intakes. If you add a little butter or margarine, that's one of your fat intakes, too. So go ahead and enjoy this favorite movie snack without guilt, just prepare for it in your daily meal planning, so that it truly is guilt free.

I've downed one glass of water so far today. How about you?


Blessings,

Eileen
