Okay, so I set out yet again to be productive, but my
students had other ideas; I should know better than to want peace and quiet the
night before a final exam. As such, there will be 2 tips tonight to make up for the missing post from yesterday.
35. Veg Out.
Fill two-thirds of your plates with vegetables. They have fewer calories
(comparatively to other foods), are more dense (stay fuller, longer) and more
nutritious (another definite plus) than any other type of food. This is hard for me (super picky about my food in general), but I'm working on it. I try to fool myself by adding i.e. hiding veggies in other foods like yellow squash in macaroni and cheese, or spinach on pizza.
36. Go (Green) Nuts!
A recent study found that dieters who snacked on shelled pistachios shed more
pounds than those who ate other snacks, even though they contained the same
amount of calories. I have to say I was surprised at this study, but I’m glad
as these little green beauties are my favorite nuts. I pick the unsalted version for the best nutritional value, but if you don't have a problem with salt, get what you like. Expensive snack, but worth
the money!
