2. NUTRITION: CURB OVEREATING DURING SUMMER MONTHS. CARLA COCCO, R.N.,practical nursing coordinator at BROWN MACKIE COLLEGE in Cincinnati: "Thegrill is, perhaps, the main reason why many people gain weight during thesummer. It's not just the grilled ribs, steaks, hot dogs and burgers. It's thepotato and macaroni salads that we pile on the side, and the much-lovedambrosia recipes that wrap normally healthy fruits into a mountain of whippedcream. And it's all those sugary drinks we find refreshing. But take heart.Your next barbecue doesn't have to pack a punch with extra pounds. Somesensible advice on how to avoid extra calories: Instead of grilling ribs andsausages, substitute these high-fat meats with chicken, fish or pork. Porktenderloin is virtually as lean as chicken breast. It is important, though, touse a meat thermometer to ensure the meat is cooked thoroughly."
