Don't Be Vegetables... Eat them!!!

Good day everyone,

The other day I discussed when you should eat starchy carbs (earlier in the day) and when to have vegetables (later in the day). Today, I just want to spend a little time emphasizing the importance of eating vegetables for maximum fat loss. Veggies are perfect for those that want to lose fat because.

1.) they are very low in calories, yet high in fiber so are quite filling

2.) they are loaded with vitamins and minerals and other very beneficial nutrients

3.) they have almost NO adverse affects on blood sugar levels.

Here's an easy idea for you. Try cutting up a variety of veggies and keeping them in a low fat/low-sugar sauce and grilling them in aluminum foil for 20 minutes on the BBQ. Very tasty and pretty quick and easy too, especially if you make a large batch for the week. If you keep your BBQ veggies in Tupperware in the fridge, they'll always be quick and convenient. Combine them with a protein source (lean meat, tofu, cottage cheese, or fish, etc.) and you have a perfect meal.
