calories. Throw in some light protein and a few veggies and you're
pushing 1,000 daily calories,
approximately half the amount necessary to maintain one's weight.

ten). But wait! There's more! You

because most of your calories are
coming from sugar with few other
nutrients.
Two-pounds per week is considered by most experts to be on the
fast end of healthy weight loss.
However, if you've got the willpower to starve yourself for several

your grocery cart with healthy
foods and eat in a reasonable manner. (Of course, please examine
your receipt after you've left the
line.)

Special to the DN
Red Bluff Police Officer, K-9
handler - Corporal Mike Brown,
stopped by the PAL Martial Arts
Center for Excellence on Monday, March 25, to speak to the
students about how important
self-defense training for kids is
these days.
He explained to these students
about how important their safety,
both at and away from school,
was and that there are many
older kids out there who have
experienced drugs, alcohol and
tobacco and that none of it has
done them any good. He told
them that he hoped they would
all take the right path.
These students enjoyed his
visit and all gathered around him
for this photo. His dog will
make the next visit with him
soon. PAL is committed to helping guide our youth in the right
direction.

healthy adult in their life." Visit
