Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acids-The Key to Health and Weight Loss

Hi all,
Just thought I'd share this list with you, JUST IN CASE YOU ARE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT or keep the weight at bay during the holiday season.
We had two MUFA dishes at Thanksgiving and a whole bunch of non-MUFA foods, but I actually lost two lbs. If I can lose weight during Thanksgiving, I must be on to something. The really cool thing is that some of our favorite foods are on this list.
Happy Eating,
Sherrie
P.S. Of course, Angelo and I have to cut down on the amount of food we're eating too, but we're getting there. ;-)
