New Year Pantry Makeover

Did you resolve to lose weight and get healthy this year?

If you want to lose weight for good, the best place to start is inside your food cupboard. A few permanent changes in what you stock can help you shed kilos without dieting.

Snack foods should be a key consideration. They are becoming a diet staple in many countries. In the United States, people are now eating and snacking six to nine times per day! Market research by Mintel shows that consumers can spend more money on snacks than on fruits and vegetables.
