fiber

Did you give up pasta when you decided to lose weight or get healthy? Have you been cutting back on macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, or fettuccini Alfredo because of carbs and calories? Those days are over! 

It seems like things are anything but normal at this time of year, with gift shopping and wrapping, holiday parties, and fitting in work and family in between. It can be hard to take care of yourself and prepare the foods that will let you keep losing weight.

Almost everyone can benefit from eating more vegetables and fruit, and fresh ones are abundant in summer. You can often get great deals on high-quality, in-season produce at farmers’ markets and supermarkets alike. It is easy to stock up on fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals!
