1/2 cup Margarine

dough for 2 hours or overnight.

cookie cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 375
degree oven until lightly browned, about 5-10 minutes. Cool before
storing. Makes about 72 cookies 2 inch size or 6 small cookie sheets

raisin or nut.

A few tips on healthy eating

If you enjoy your food, but need to get in shape and increase your all round condition, then, as most people know, you should commence a specially prepared balanced diet. In a perfect world, this ought to include five portions of grains, cereals and vegetables on a daily basis and incorporate the right mixture of fats, carbs and proteins.

When deciding on a daily routine, it is essential to make efforts to lower your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.

When people first start dieting, they frequently direct your attention to supermarket and branded food items professing to be 'low in fat'. To do this is most certainly wrong, insofar as an item may be significantly reduced in fat, but whilst still being far too high in calories.

Try drinking more water. Your body must have water , it is essential for our good health and is blessed with calories and fat. It also fills the dieters stomach and decreases sensations of hunger. Some experts argue that we should aim to drink as much as 6 cups of water every day.

Instead of dwelling on the junk foods that you ought to leave out of your dietary regime, look at the healthy foods that you should introduce to your daily routine. If you are able to inject the recommended portions nourishing fruit and vegetables into your diet, you'll find that stop feeling hungry and have a far decreased chance of being seduced by those unhealthy mid-day biscuits.
