Not sure it encourages eating more veggies, but you’ll get a chuckle out of it anyway … The Vegetable Song is a short music video created by Si Bennett featuring anthropomorphic singing veggies that encourage the eating of vegetables.

Before I go and get all Greek-like on ya, for many of you, eating plain yogurt in the first place is a great place to start, so keep it up! More times than not, when someone comes to us for weight loss, this is often one of the first dietary changes we make, usually shifting from a cold cereal or starch-dominated breakfast (toast, bagel, English muffin, etc.) So as always, listen to your body, mind your post-meal energy levels, and if you tolerate dairy well (not all of us do, and that is OK), then yogurt is a great choice for:
So (Greek) yogurt with berries is a much better breakfast for example than most cold cereals considering 3 of our primary critieria for “grading” a meal, if you will:

Yesterday, someone told me that a “weight loss guru” in St. Louis basically “instructs” his clients to pretty much just eat chicken and broccoli, “for like the rest of your life I think.” Now I’m not sure where my Father’s Day biscuits and gravy fit into the plan, though I do believe he recommends a cheat meal (and that is for another day.)

And speaking of them “guru’s”, if you have ever journeyed into a weight loss program, you have heard about how “lean, healthy, and protein-packed” chicken is, and therefore you have come across more than one chicken recipe. Well, for starters, this is not another recycled fitness magazine “37 Ways to Grill Chicken this Summer to Fit Into Your Two Piece” article. You can find those elsewhere.
Knowing where you food comes from is important. We’ve talked about it before — shop at farmer’s markets and buy local when possible.
