The Diet Logs

Vegetables are essential to your diet not only for the nutrients they pack, but also because they can easily replace less healthy foods and still satisfy. Don’t skip your veggies because they are high in fiber to keep you feeling full longer. It’s also low in calories and fat so that you can eat more thus, giving you more energy you need without feeling guilty. For those of you who can’t stand the taste of veggies, try adding a little bit of olive oil and a squirt of lemon juice to make it tastier. You may also want to add different spices such as garlic , basil leaves etc.  Some articles also said to not just limit your veggies with greens.

“Consume a rainbow of different vegetables to get a full spectrum of various nutrients! Choose darker green veggies like romaine lettuce or spinach instead of iceberg for added folic acid and vitamin B2. Bright red vegetables like tomatoes and red bell peppers pack extra nutrients like Vitamin C to help your body absorb iron. Choose orange veggies like carrots and sweet potatoes for beta-carotene to strengthen the immune system.”

There are also lots of cook books for veggies so you’re not limiting your veggie intake with just salads. I’m pretty sure that you’ll achieve your desired weight in no time with your new best friend.
