Summer gives us the best fruit choices. Apples and oranges are good, but it is summer fruit that makes you feel healthy just looking at it! Plums, peaches, strawberries, watermelon, blackberries....they all add important vitamins and fiber to the diet. And they taste good, too! They fulfill the craving for sweetness.
Find a Farmer's Market close to you and visit it twice a week...your fruit will always be fresh and at its best.
Fruit is the perfect between meal snack to keep your metabolism going. A plum or a peach, or a cup of berries along with a half cup of trail mix is the perfect fuel to keep you going and burning calories. But be careful about your trail mix...it shouldn't include chocolate candies, and sugared fruit bits. I make my own.
The Eat This, Not That No Diet by David Zinczenko with Matt Goulding has a phenominal trail mix matrix. It gives several choices of nuts, seeds, crunches, and sweetners. Choose one of each and make the perfect trail mix for you! My current favorite is almonds, raw natural sunflower seeds,
General Mills Original Fiber One Cereal, and carob chips.
