DIET TIPS FOR JUNE

Ms. June is one hot tamale!  As the heat settles into your area, plan out your menus with light salads, sandwiches and cold soups. Fact is, it's just too hot to weigh down your belly with greasy, cheesy, sugary foods.  The key to your diet during June should be lean and light.

Cold pumpkin soup is delicious!  Simply add one cup of skimmed milk to 1/3 can of pumpkin.  Toss in some cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves and nutmeg if desired.  Sprinkle the top of your soup with a bit of cinnamon before dipping in with your silver spoon.

Some diet-wise salad items include: sliced mushrooms, bacon bits, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, hot peppers, banana peppers (pickled), drained black beans, baby corn coblets, chopped or sliced onions, croutons, grated cheese, lean meats, light salad dressings, raw broccoli, raw cauliflower, raw spinach, crackers, chopped cabbage, raw squash, and certain fruits such as strawberries which will add zing to your turkey salad.  Try adding walnuts and diced apple to your next chicken salad.  Wow!  That will perk up those manly taste buds!

Try baking your own breads for your sandwiches.  Or, these  Tasty Toaster Sandwiches might just hit the spot!

When exercising, use common sense.  It's good to exercise, it's good to lose unwanted pounds and inches, but it's bad to fall over dead while doing such.
