Eight ounces of plain low-fat yogurt flavored with ginger, cinnamon, or fresh spices instead of stewed fruits and sugar. Omelettes are a wonderful opportunity to stretch the nutritive value of eggs, as you can include other less calorie-dense foods. Avoid the highly processed bottled dressings, which are chock-full of sugar, additives, and hydrogenated oils. Try tahini dressing made from sesame paste for a Middle Eastern flavor. Blend with tofu in the blender for a creamy dressing.
Sprouts are another good protein source, in addition to containing valuable vegetable nutrients.
Avocados, while relatively high in calories, have minimal carbohydrate content and don't induce carbo cravings. Half an avocado daily can be an enjoyable snack. Forget the soggy, overcooked, heavily buttered or creamed styles of our youth. A little shredded purple cabbage is a surprisingly sprightly addition to a salad or a stir-fry. Drink eight glasses of mineral or spring water per day, flavored with a dash of lemon or a squeeze of lime, if you like.
