Diet Recipes: Vegetable Weight Loss Recipes
Eat your veggies - especially your lettuce. But don't confine
yourself to iceberg lettuce or salads! Darker greens have about
the same number of calories and carbs -very low! - but pack a
lot more punch in the vitamins and other nutrient categories.
By substituting radicchio, watercress, escarole or spinach
for the iceberg lettuce, you add vitamin C, riboflavin’s,
manganese and other essential vitamins that aren't present in
lettuce. Try them braised, steamed or grilled for something a
little different from the usual salad.
Here are some vegetable weight loss recipes for greens that will
tickle your taste buds and make your heart happy!
