Fruit and vegetable power

Start by adding just one fruit or vegetable servings daily to your present intake. Once you get used to that, add extra servings until you reach 7-8 servings a day. High on fiber, these super nutritious, low-calorie foods will leave you feeling full for longer. How to do it? Just follow these tips.

Eat at least two servings of fruit or vegetable at every meal and have the rest of the servings during in between times.

Get calories from foods you chew, not beverages. Have fresh fruit instead if fruit juice.
Cook your vegetables to make them delicious- dribble maple syrup over carrots, and sprinkle chopped nuts on green beans.

Keep vegetables handy- stock them in your fridge 24/7 so you can’t find an excuse for not eating them.

Use baby spinach everywhere; in place of lettuce in sandwiches, heated in soups, in hot pasta and added to salads.
