Veggies? No Sweat!

Do you get the recommended 3 cups of vegetables per day? You do? Great! You don't? No sweat! Just continue reading........

In a consultation today during business hours, a client shared her strategy for consuming enough veggies. She slices and dices a combination of vegetables in the morning and plops them in a bowl. The bowls follows her to work and she munches on them all day long.

I love this idea for multiple reasons. Number one, she's planning ahead and making lifestyle changes that she's reaping the rewards from (she lost 1 3/4 pounds in the past two days!). Secondly, it takes away all the guesswork about how she's going to fit in the vegetables. Rather than having to order a side salad with lunch or factor in a large serving of cooked vegetables with dinner, a couple minutes in the morning (or the night before) takes care of the day.

I think I'm going to give this a shot next week. As hard as I try, sometimes I just don't want to make myself a sandwich and a salad when I get home from work. I know, what kind of role model am I?!

My choices: sugar snap peas, red bell peppers, and cucumber. What are yours?
