Have you ever had a pudgy Poochie, a flabby Fido, or a rotund Rover? If so, chances are you're already familiar with the green bean diet. When your furry friend needs to shed a few pounds, simply replace a portion of his regular food with green beans -- plain old drained, canned green beans -- and watch the extra rolls disappear. Works like a charm.
Can you tell where I'm headed with this? I bet you can. This time of year, when we're all trying not to gain our body weight in MORE body weight, why not give the old green bean diet a try? When you're not attending a holiday party or other splendidly catered event, eat like your doggie. Replace a portion of the heavy starches and proteins on your plate with green beans or lettuce or cabbage or kale or anything else that's green and fibrous and will help fill you up without filling you out. Nothing like a little extra fiber during this annual eating extravaganza, plus it's the perfect opportunity to try a new vegetable or two.
Once the holidays are over, consider making this adjustment to your evening meal every day, and watch the extra rolls disappear!
