The Weight-Loss Skill:

Eating fruits and vegetables for better health and improved weight loss

The Challenge:

Most of us know that eating fruits and vegetables improves health and weight loss, but eating enough isn’t always easy. And enjoying them, even less so. Why? Top complaints: They seem bland and boring; we are not accustomed to including them; we didn’t grow up eating them—or we ate mostly starchy veggies (e.g., potatoes, peas, corn) plus basics like green beans, apples, oranges, bananas, and iceberg lettuce. It can be harder then, as adults, to take chances and try new fruits and vegetables (leeks? okra? jicama? pluots?). Even those of us who like fruits and vegetables may find our regular picks ho-hum.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will share tips for making fruits and vegetables more appealing, including ways to prepare them. We will also discuss ways to take advantage of seasonal produce, how to include fruits and vegetables in every meal (to meet Weight Watchers® Good Health Guidelines), and how eating our recommended daily servings can help boost our satisfaction levels and, ultimately, our weight loss.
