DIETING, BUT HATE VEGETABLES? SQUASH THOSE WORRIES BY TRYING THESE DIET-WISE TIPS!

Whether you prefer fresh, frozen, canned or dried, vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet. The good news is that vegetables are extremely low in calories - except for a few such as corn and potatoes. Even so, the calories for a medium potato weigh in at a mere 120 calories, and is so filling!

If you can't seem to tolerate vegetables, or if you're tired of eating bland vegetables in your diet, try one of the following tips:

rather than butter, substitute no calorie butter spray; it can be warmed in the microwave and can be used generously

substitute lite salt for regular salt to discourage water retention

bring out the herbs and spices!  Sprinkle cinnamon and no calories on your baked sweet potato, then add a couple of packs of Splenda.  Or, dust your carrots with rosemary.  Experiment to create diet delicacies!

if you like cheese on your vegetables, use the chesses that are lower in fat such as skimmed Mozzarella

prepare your vegetables in chicken or beef broth for an unique, rich taste

stir fry your veggies using non stick cooking spray

cut raw veggies into small finger-sized chunks and enjoy with light or fat-free dressing. Light Mayo is also a very sensible dip.
