Ok, so I have to lift my ban on Market Street because they now have NuVal! I posted a month or so ago about this new system called NuVal scoring. It is a score given to all foods based on their nutritional value. The higher the score, the more nutritious the food. For example, a strawberry is 100 points while a potato chip is 20 points. Anyway, Market Street now has this on most food items. The tag that lists the price also has two hexagons with a number 1-100. So great! It takes the guesswork out of finding the most healthy foods.
Wowza, there are some surprising scores. For example, it is more nutritious to eat a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie than a handful of pretzels!
Alright Market Street, you are off the hook...this time. I better not find any thumbprint cookies in my path next time I go grocery shopping.
P.S. thumbprint cookies have a NuVal score of 10. Not good.

Love the scoring. My inner skeptic is wondering how this will bear out over time.

Hi Brandi! Glad that you found Stretch Naked, too! I think that losing weight, staying healthy and eating right are on a lot of people's minds. That's why I write this blog! I think that I will have some good things that will help you out!
The main principle is calories in vs. calories out. You must burn more than you take in. Weight loss is about patience and commitment. Let me help take you there!
