Tip #2 – AN APPLE A DAY

There have been many studies on apples and it does not matter when you have it but the fiber in an apple and the time it takes to eat it will help you feel satisfied and eat less of other things.

So whether you replace a snack like chips or crackers with your apple or whether you eat it instead of a giant coffee drink to avoid the afternoon slump — an apple is a snack you should have every day. Going out for lunch or dinner to a restaurant where you may not be able to have healthy choices — eat the apple before you leave the house.

A main key to tasty vegetables comes from good preparation. Boil them to death and I don’t care what the food — it will be gross.

Many vegetables need a very minimal steam. People who say they eat spinach (even me) eat spinach when my wife makes it because it is so lightly steamed that there is no gummy texture or dirty taste to it that many people think is the problem with spinach.

I always think you should start with fresh veggies. Canned veggies are all pretty gross so there is no need to even buy them like that.
Some veggies you can use frozen if you cannot get fresh but if possible always try to start with fresh.
