Read MoreWe hear it all the time. Eat more vegetables. Add more greens. Make your plate colorful. The fact that vegetables are good for us, is not a new message. So, why do we seem to have such a hard time fitting them in our diet?
Vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories, plus they are loaded with good-for-you nutrients such as vitamins A and C, potassium and fiber.

Vegetables are easily left out because we can only eat so many plain, raw vegetables. I encourage clients to change how they prepare or season them. This adds some excitement to the plain vegetable try they were doing before. Finding ways to incorporate vegetables into dishes you already know and love, will make the adjustment easier.
