Yup, you heard me, alrighty! I&#8217;m telling you to eat more&#8230;<br \/>\nFruits and vegetables that is!<br \/>\nIf you want to feel sated, satisfied, full &#8230; NOT hungry &#8230; then fruits and veggies are your ticket.<br \/>\n<strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">Seven Heavenly Ways to Add Vegetables to Your Daily Food Plan<\/div>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\n1. How About a V8? Try one for your 3 p.m. afternoon snack.  I love the spicy kind with a couple of celery sticks sticking out of it. Yum delicious plus chomping action!<br \/>\n2. Toss In veggies into your soups, stews and salads.<br \/>\n3. Baby Spinach. Use prebagged baby spinach  just like you would lettuce, AND toss it into your soups, wilted on top of pasta!  That&#8217;s my favorite.  With a little parmesan cheese. WOW!<br \/>\n4. For those of us who are on the run or have chopping problems (I do!  Peter, my husband is the designated chopper in the house), buy vegetables that are already cut up.  I know it costs more, but if that&#8217;s the only way you are going to eat more veggies, it&#8217;s worth it.  (Skip the $4 cup of coffee!).<br \/>\n5. Did you know that vegetable soup counts as a vegetable?  WOW!!!<br \/>\n6. Lettuce,  tomato and sprouts oh My!  Feel free to pile up layers and layers on your sandwiches.  You can add a layer of cucumber, too.  What else?  Get creative. Go for it!<br \/>\n7. If you are not a fan of vegetables, eat fruit! Colorful, beautiful and juicy fruit &#8211; like oranges mangoes and melons.  They are filled with vitamins and fiber, too.<br \/>\nGet chompin&#8217; this holiday season.  Bring a tray of crudite with you to parties.  Come armed with your celery sticks!  You are worth the effort!<br \/>\nSpread the word &#8230; NOT the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<br \/>\n_______________________________<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">Janice Taylor<\/a> is a Weight Loss Coach, Author, Columnist and 50-pound big-time-loser.<br \/>\nInterested in one-on-one coaching?  <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">Write Janice<\/a> for a free consult.<br \/>\nWant more information on how YOU CAN wake up THINNER on New Year&#8217;s Day? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christmasdiet.com\">Christmas Diet<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More is Less.
