Vinegar...

My salads most of the time are pretty simple.  I make sure I always have tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers on hand.  If I am having a salad as my main meal, lunch or dinner, I can add more and I will always  add a protein to it!  All my dressings are made with vinegar - NO OIL!  Vinegar is another ingredient that may have weight-loss benefits. In one 2005 study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, including 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a meal resulted in subjects eating 200 to 275 fewer calories through the day.  I use white wine, red wine, champagne, apple, rice wine and sherry vinegars - all 0 to 3 calories per tablespoon!

Until Monday - keep thinking veggies and protein!
