More Fruits and Vegetables

Losing weight and eating better generally means -- for most of us -- that it's time to eat more fruits and vegetables. The current wisdom is that we should have five servings of vegetables in a day, and three servings of fruit. But how?

Or maybe you have been trying to add more plant matter to your diet, but you just don't have the time to really cook. Or, perhaps, your kids are refusing to eat what you've been making. Or maybe you are just plain running out of inspiration. It happens. Not to worry.

Here are a few ideas.

For fruits:

Buy plainer cereals and try adding fresh fruit instead. Strawberries and blueberries will always be a healthier choice than sugared bits, plus plainer cereals tend to cost less, thereby making it easier for you to afford more berries.
Slice apples into tuna salad. This is how I grew up eating tuna salad, and I always wondered why other people did not eat it this way. Chicken salad is a perfectly viable option for this treatment as well -- and try grapes in there, too, for what is almost a Waldorf Salad.
Slice apples and stick them into the center of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or even add them instead of the jelly. Try microwaving the sandwich for thirty seconds to get the peanut butter to melt a little. It is wonderful.

For vegetables:

Puree softened vegetables (you just need to microwave for maybe four or five minutes beforehand) and toss into soups and sauces. A fat loss review can help you establish a clear describe of what you need to focus on to achieve your fat reducing purpose if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more advance level of their weight-loss strategy. Applying are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your own weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss courses have misled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by producing a person's body to eliminate more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Just because you are buying jarred tomato sauce for pasta does not mean you can't jazz it up with more tomatoes, onions and mushrooms.
Try tossing vegetables into omelets or even scrambling them with eggs. Bell peppers are great this way.
On the grill, stick cherry tomatoes, onion chunks, mushroom caps and pieces of bell pepper onto skewers. Grill and enjoy. And try barbecuing corn -- just remove the tassels and cook it in the husk until lightly charred.
