Have a Salad

Enjoy a small salad before your dinner tonight to get extra vegetables and greens into your diet without adding a lot of calories. In fact, a salad can calm down your appetite a bit so that you don't overeat during the rest of the meal. Try some spinach leaves or baby greens, cherry tomatoes, crunchy chunks of broccoli and carrots. Serve your salad with a dressing made from a healthy oil and vinegar, spicy salsa, or simply with lemon or lime juice.
