Eat your Veggies.  One of the few sayings that have stood the test of time.  We are beginning to see how poorly most of us in North America are eating.  We are also beginning to see the consequences of the way we're eating.  Not just in fat but also the sheer amount of health issues that come with poor eating.

A lot of the newest weight loss and health books agree on one thing.  That one thing is to eat your veggies.  There is literally a mountain of research that agrees veggies are healthy.

 I am trying to get to have a regular smoothie made primarily of veggies each morning.  I want to be having raw veggies as snacks most evenings.  I am starting to eat more salads (more on that tomorrow).

Now I just need to come up with the occasional soup, stew, casserole, stir fry or other made primarily of veggies.  We can eat a huge amount of veggies and fill up on low calorie options.  Not only are veggies super low calorie they also have a huge amount of nutrients.  Whenever people talk about healing foods they are usually talking about veggies.

I may start adding links to great recipes particularly those for veggies. Any one else want to start?  Here's to learning to love those veggies.
