Palamantasan 2010, the first interschool competition among grade school students nationwide, was successfully held last 17th of July at Lapu-lapu Central Elementary School. The event aims to educate the young minds about the importance of proper nutrition and healthy diet. Kraft Cheez Whiz, one of the most-loved cheese brands in the country in partnership with the Department of Education initiated the said event.
Palamantasan is a school-based program to further raise public consciousness and enhance nutrition education in schools. According to Dr. Alex Dan Tacderas, Category Manager for Cheese and Spoonables, Kraft Foods Philippines, School is second to home where children learn basic lessons and values. He said that this is the very reason why they direct their cause and execute their programs in schools – in both an enjoyable and educational way.
Kraft Chiz Wheez and DepEd declared Palamantasan as a nationwide nutrition advocacy that will be conducted until the month of September.

There are lots of diet supplements out there but I still believe that the best diet to lose weight is to eat less foods with carbohydrates. I’m currently taking Fruta Planta along with my self impose diet strategy.
