1. Add just one fruit or veggie serving daily. Get comfortable with that,
> then add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day.
>
> 2. Eat at least two servings of a fruit or veggie at every meal.
> 7. Eating out? Halve it, and bag the rest. A typical restaurant entree has
> 1,000 to 2,000 calories, not even counting the bread, appetizer, beverage
> and dessert.
> 17. Use mustard instead of mayo.
> 30. Rediscover the sweet potato.
> 32. Spend the extra few dollars to buy vegetables that are already washed
> and cut up.
> 53. A bag of frozen vegetables heated in the microwave, topped with 2
> tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts
> 65. Give it away! After company leaves, give away leftover food to
> neighbors, doormen, or delivery people or take it to work the next day.
> 82. Brush your teeth right after dinner to remind you: No more food.
>
> 90. Nothing's less appetizing than a crisper drawer full of mushy
> vegetables. Frozen vegetables store much better, plus they may have greater
> nutritional value than fresh. Food suppliers typically freeze veggies just a
> few hours after harvest, locking in the nutrients. Fresh veggies, on the
> other hand, often spend days in the back of a truck before they reach your
> supermarket.
> 92. Overeating is not the result of exercise. Vigorous exercise won't
> stimulate you to overeat. It's just the opposite. Exercise at any level
> helps curb your appetite immediately following the workout.
>
> 96. Drinking too little can hamper your weight loss efforts. That's because
> dehydration can slow your metabolism by 3 percent, or about 45 fewer
> calories burned a day, which in a year could mean weighing 5 pounds more.
> The key to water isn't how much you drink, it's how frequently you drink it.
> Small amounts sipped often work better than 8 ounces gulped down at once.
