Slimming Snacks

Be sure to incorporate a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet. A good way to do so is by trying one new variety of fruit or vegetable a week. Keep a fruit basket at your desk in plain view; this will encourage you to go for the good stuff instead of getting junk food from the vending machine. Remember that salads aren’t just for meals. Pack a Broccoli Salad, Apple-Fennel Salad, or simple side salad as a midday snack.
