Got some healthy leftovers to store? Something you can take to work and eat for lunch? Something that will make a great dinner a second time around? If so, you'll want to properly store your food in the greenest of ways, says Jessica Jensen, co-founder of Low Impact Living. Here's how.

• Use glass first. It can be used over and over and is easily recycled.
• Go for aluminum foil next since it too can be recycled.
• Opt for plastic containers before bags because they can be reused and some can be recycled. It's best to use as little plastic as possible, though, since it's made from petroleum, a nonrenewable resourse.
• Last choice: Plastic wrap. It's only good for one-time uses and can't be recycled.

The stars are doing it and you could too -- slim down that is, and in only one hour's time. All it takes is a mineral body wrap with the power to trim six to 20 inches off your hot bod. Tyra is talking about it. Ellen is too. Here's what they're saying.

Tyra says it's amazing. She lost 9.2 inches overall after being wrapped from head to two, jumping on a trampoline, and then measuring up all her parts. She had not one problem getting into a dress that was once too snug and realized it wasn't that she was eating better -- it was the wrap. Ellen didn't reveal her grand total but she did say wrapping herself up isn't something she'd normally do, let alone show. But she did it. And you can see it here. Sexy, she calls it. Simply sexy. See what you think.

Suddenly Slimmer is the name of the Hollywood salon where these celebrities were wrapped up like mummies. With other locations across the country, this spot -- it guarantees you'll see results on your very first visit -- might strike your fancy. Give it a peek and see what you think.

How does actress Brooke Burke, pregnant with her fourth child, stay so fit and trim during and after the rigors of pregnancy? It's an on-going process, the 36-year-old says. And she works darn hard at it.

Pilates is one of her secrets -- she's been doing it for eight years and believes the core work involved in these workouts is great for the abs and the back. It also makes her deliveries so much easier.

Another secret: Burke wraps her post-delivery belly in a compression wrap called Taut. She credits this invention for getting her back to her pre-pregnancy size.

Overall, Burke, who is engaged to actor David Charvet and gained 30 pounds during her last pregnancy, says exercise is key.

"The more fit you are during your pregnancy, the quicker you're going to bounce back," she says. "I probably started up two weeks after delivery and I felt I could handle that."

A busy schedule usually leaves me scrambling through food courts at lunch time. I'm pretty good at making healthy choices though admittedly, I sometimes fall off the wagon like everyone else. Today, as I dashed from one errand to another, I stopped by a popular deli for something to eat. I ended up with a Chicken Caesar Wrap and a small salad. Sounds healthy, right? Well, I know the salad is because it was a salad bar, so I was in control of what went into it. But what about the wrap. Was it healthy? What do you think? According to this, did it have:

A) 630 Cal, 24 g of Fat
B) 590 Cal, 22 g of Fat
C) 420 Cal, 15 g of fat
D) 350 cal, 12 g of fat
