Tasty Dinner with Rice

RICE is a perfectly digestible grain, rich in protein and carbohydrates and low in fats. There are so many different kinds of rice, that I decided to check calories in rice, actually in most popular: white rice, brown rice and wild rice on CalorieCalc.net  
Besides advantageous calorie count result,  rice is a source of potassium. It has a lot of vitamins of the B group, which has a beneficial effect on the nervous system. It is recommended for those with inflammation of the stomach and intestines, kidney diseases and urinary tract, in convalescence after surgery. Rice does not contain gluten, it can be given to infants and small children. Brown rice is recommended to people suffering from constipation and obesity.

Nordic Walking- way to burn even more calories

It is so hard to lead an active lifestyle in winter.This time of the year I would jump under the blanket and stay indoors if I could:). However, due to my weight-loss and healthy living promises, I try to go for a walk every day. I recently found a video about Nordic walking, which allows you to burn even more calories and evolves  90% of muscles of your body. I need to try it, I'm sure it's going to make walking more interesting too:)

I can admit now, that being skinny is a never ending struggle.... You have to eat right and exercise, but I need to enjoy it, because if I don't, I am sure that one day I'm going to disregard all my  goals and efforts.... I need to change my diet, I need to exercise, but I need to enjoy my new healthy lifestyle. That is the only way it's going to work for me.....:)
