A study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics finds that the key to long-term weight loss may lie in fresh fruits and veggies:
“People are so motivated when they start a weight-loss program. You can say, ‘I’m never going to eat another piece of pie,’ and you see the pounds coming off,” Bethany Barone Gibbs, the lead investigator, said in a statement. “Eating fruits and vegetables may not make as big a difference in your caloric intake. But that small change can build up and give you a better long-term result, because it’s not as hard to do as giving up French fries forever.”
From Serious Eats, a new take on an old idea: instead of pasta with a long-simmered tomato sauce, they serve it up with a fresh-tomato vinaigrette. From Simply Recipes a quinoa salad with black beans, corn, and tomatoes.
The upcoming second week of September will be National Vegetarian Awareness Week, or if you prefer, National Biscuits-and-Gravy Week. (Actually it’s both.) The day after tomorrow is National Acorn Squash Day: cut two in half, scoop out the seeds, spread with just a teaspoon of butter to each piece, sprinkle with a spoonful of brown sugar, roast at 400°F for an hour. Four servings, each just a couple of PointsPlus which you have probably already worked off cutting those damn things in half.
