This Sparked Me!

I try to make 50% of every meal I eat vegetables. It particularly helps when I am away from home, I automatically fill my plate half full with salad, then add the protein and carbs.

Keeps plenty of fiber in my diet, too!

    My doctor told me to do this too. Sometimes I get tired of chewing all the vegies, but it tastes so good. I also heard that the act of chewing helps reduce stress.

    Go to AllRecipes.com and look up how to make your favorite dressings. Remember you can sub greek yogurt for mayo or heavy cream.
