Eat This and the Pounds Will Drop

Trying to lose a few? Aren't we all. You'll lose even more if you set out a plate of this before each meal: apple wedges.

Eating a bit of high-fiber fruit -- like a small apple or pear -- before each meal is a proven weight-loss booster.

Life is short. So don't sweat the small stuff. It's not worth the effort. Be more thankful for what you have vs. what you don't.

Frozen fruit -- buy it on sale, pop it in your freezer, is a delicious treat. Try all berries, bananas, even cooked rhubarb-- a kind of sorbet. I like skimmed milk on top to satisfy the ice cream sundae craving -- or a drizzle of honey although this is much less healthy. Stay aware. think of food in categories- fat, carb, starch, protein, simple sugar. Remember lo-fat proteins or a small amount of fat can regulate blood sugar, but you need the lo-cal carbs-- veggies and some sugars-- fruits as well.
