Slim into Spring!

Here are three great strategies to help you "Slim Into Spring!"

1. Eat foods with high water contents. Think broth-based soups, apples and cucumbers.  You'll feel fuller and more energized on less calories and fat.
2. Increase protein and fiber intake.  Stick with lean options like chicken breast and whole grains.  Studies show your brain will be tricked into thinking you've eaten more than you have.
3. Stop nightly snacking.  A new study in the journal Obesity found that late-night munching packs on the pounds quicker than daytime treats. It is not burned off before bed and is more easily converted to fat.
