Are olives a healthy snack?


I am OBSESSED with olives. I love salty snacks! Are they healthy? I read somewhere that like 5 olives or something is equivalent to about a tsp. of oil. Is this true? Also, how many olives can I eat? A few days ago I got so hungry that I ate 2 cans of olives!

===
Olives contain "good fat", however, canned olives are also very high in sodium.
In moderation, they are fine.

What is Stopping You From Maintaining a Healthy Diet?

 

Many of us start a diet regimen but we quickly end up abandoning our routine because of certain obstacles. One of the major reasons for a halt in a diet regimen is lack of time. Many of us don’t have the time to prepare healthy meals while at the same time having to complete our daily tasks and choirs. This usually means eating unhealthy processed food or eating unknown calories in the form of takeout. Basically, the only way to avoid this obstacle is to set aside at least an hour each day for cooking. This way you can be sure that you are consuming a healthy meal with the proper amount of calories.

Another obstacle in dieting stems from the taste buds. Many of us get so use to rich flavored foods that when we encounter healthy vegetables we get discouraged from the lack of taste. Well, one way to fix this is to spice up your veggies. First of all, remember not to overcook your vegetables as that will make them soggy. Be sure that your veggies remain crisp. And also add your favorite spices to your vegetables. Often times when we are on a diet we undergo a complete change where we abandon everything that we use to enjoy eating. So if there are certain spices which you loved to eat with your meals, you can easily add them to your vegetables in order to create a delicious treat.

And a final obstacle in dieting stems from our fear of abandoning junk food. We get so used to our salty and sweat treats that we can’t help but to long for them. So what can we do to reduce our dependency on these unhealthy snacks? Well, many of us are aware of the healthy snack alternatives that are available out there today. You can replace regular chips for baked, regular cookies for graham crackers, and soda for sparkling water. Believe it or not, maintaining a healthy diet does not have to mean dreading your meals. Simply try to liven up your meals with fun spices and healthy treats.

Description

A year in the making, Sandra Ramacher has released Healing Foods: Cooking for Celiacs, Colitis, Crohns and IBS, a visually stunning and intelligently written cookbook. It is specifically designed to please and inspire all those who suffer from these debilitating intestinal diseases, as well as those who already live happier lives thanks to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (TM). This book strictly adheres to the diet prescribed by Elaine Gottschall in her revolutionary book Breaking The Vicious Cycle. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is a strict grain-free, lactose-free, and sucrose-free dietary regimen intended for those suffering from Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The SCDiet has proven to be highly successful for many who suffer from various bowel disorders as well as the many related problems which actually stem from imbalances in the intestinal tract. The diet was first proposed by Dr. Sydney Haas and brought to public attention by Elaine Gottschall, a biochemist who researched the diet to help heal her daughter who was suffering from severe ulcerative colitis. Her book Breaking The Vicious Cycle has sold over 1 million copies and relieved suffering for countless thousands.
