By Lonnie Saling


Yes, there is still several summer left. One of the fantastic gifts of summer is it's lovely fresh produce. These lovely gifts of nature abound in New England. If you are having a bootcamp or personal training plan, these foods are an ideal fit.

Now, I don't mean to suggest that there is something bad with eating out. Not by a long shot. I DO suggest nonetheless, that cooking and being knowledgeable about the nutritional value of foods and how to increase that information for flavor and variety will only assist you to accomplish your weight-loss goals. Diet programs are not required to be tremendously strict, and coupled with a serious exercise routine, it may be your very best ally. By understanding food, and making meals which you like and that are interesting, you raise your selection of food. So rather than thinking of a fat loss diet as punishment, you'll discover yourself eating really good, healthy, delicious meals. So put on an kitchen apron and seize a spatula!!!

Grills or Hibachi's are perfect tools for cooking foods and maintaining the fat content down. Sweet Yellow Corn is almost everywhere and boiled has approximately 59 calories. Cooked on the grill, it develops a pleasant smoky flavor yet maintains it's sweetness, so you don't absolutely need the butter. Corn is however increased in sugar content than you may need to have on a regular basis.

Other summer vegetables which are delicious and less in calories are Snap Peas, Snap Green Beans, Carrots, and Broccoli. These veggies are also rich in fiber, each and every containing between 2 and 3 grams of fiber for each serving of approximately Two to four oz. of food. Carrots are very tasty and naturally sweet and brighten up a slammin' cole slaw, or julliened and quick sauteed in olive oil, served with a bit of flounder or grilled cod and snow peas.

Boiling these veggies is a typical if somewhat pedestrian approach to them; and no you don't absolutely need that cheddar cheese to be delicious. Broccoli sauteed in a bit of olive oil having a dash of soy tossed with several sesame seeds (52 calories per tablespoon) OR carried out on the grill with bell pepper and onion.
