Happy Valentine's Week!

 

What will you do to love yourself on this special day and every day? If you take time to love and care for yourself, chances are you'll do an even better job loving and nurturing others. Just some heart-healthy food for thought for you!

 

In this week's newsletter, you'll find:

 

*Foods to choose (in proper portions, of course) to help you lose weight (my guest blog on caloriecount); and

 

*Tips to perk up your pantry & 3 great recipes (including one for Moroccan Spiced Beans) to make your mouth water from dietetic intern and nutrition graduate student Suzanne Natz.

 

You'll also learn if the government's new food rules make or miss the mark according to dietitians around the country. You can also watch my recent TV appearance (part of a multi-city satellite media tour) about the new dietary guidelines. (The tour was sponsored by Avocados from Mexico, California Strawberries, Healthy Choice, and Kellogg).  

 

As always, if you love The ZIED GUIDE newsletter, please forward it to a friend. Thanks for your continued support! The ZIED GUIDE returns in two weeks, so be sure to share your questions with me--you may see them answered in an upcoming video, blog, article, or in the newsletter.

 

Until next time,
