Daily Weight Control Panetini
We keep a weight control journal to track the amount of calories we ingest each day. Daily, people are bombarded with TV ads about food products. You can walk in any community and find an endless number of restaurants to go to. Unwanted weight is easy to acquire. We are fortunate in this country to have an abundance of food available. This is both a blessing and a curse. This weight journal allows us to balance food abundance with weight control. We deny ourselves nothing to eat; we just attempt to control the amount. We are tracking this information as a research piece. It is meant to be an historical document.

Garlic Parmesan Panetini is oven-baked toast. They are twice baked so they have a nice crunch and seasoned with herbs. Many Italian restaurants serve these. In addition to Garlic Parmesan, panetini come in garlic, three cheese, and original flavors. You can serve them with your favorite dip, or just eat them as a snack by themselves. We mix goat cheese with cream cheese as a dip. However, there are many dips you can create. You are limited only by your imagination. These are great for entertaining.

DISCLAIMER:
This is a daily weight control system that we have used since 1999. This is not a diet system, but a weight control journal. We do take vitamins, but will not list them for they may not be appropriate for all individuals wishing to start their own weight control journal. To loose weight, the ideal calorie count is 850 calories per day for our weight and height as well as our activity level. This has been determined from previous years of experience. All calorie counts and weights are approximate.
It's important to drink enough water each day. We drink a minimum of eight, 8 ounce glasses of water per day to keep our body healthy. In addition, salt is not used in our cooking process, with the except of rice and pasta. This helps to keep our blood pressure down as well as reducing the retention of water in our body.
BEFORE STARTING A WEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM, PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.
