How Colourful Is Your Diet?

Dieting can be monotonous if we choose it to be.  Why not make it exciting. There are so many good recipes out there that are filled with low fat items, fresh produce and low in calories yet filling and exciting enough to enjoy and fill you up!g

I hate rabbit food!  And there is a mixed conception out there that if you are on a weight loss diet, you have to be eating salads, soups and not much else. Wrooooooooooong...

Basically, if you keep tabs on your portion sizes, type of foods that pass your lips and include activity in your program, and provided that calories 'in' or 'eaten'  is less than calories 'out' or used up, you have a formula for weight loss.

David Heber's book is brilliant.  No more worrying about what type of fruit or vegetable you should eat and how much of.  He even has a simple menu option you can follow. 

Because each color category represents different nutrients and antioxidants, Heber suggests one serving from each color. A serving is defined as one cup raw fruits or vegetables or ½ cup cooked.

A week of menus for men and another for women provides suggestions for fitting in all the produce while limiting foods deemed off the menu. Detailed lists of each color group and recommended portion sizes make it easy to create your own menus. Recipes, shopping lists, travel, and dining out tips are included.
