Fire Up Your Produce

A 2008 Nutrition Research study found that increased fruit and vegetable intake resulted in significant weight loss over a 6-month period, but unfortunately, most people take a narrow, meat-only approach to grilling. That's a bad move for your waistline, and it takes the joy out of grilling. Try grilling asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or eggplant, and you'll be a believer for life. You can even grill leafy greens. Try this with spinach: Clean the leaves and keep the stems intact. Place over a medium fire and grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Dress the greens with a drizzle of olive oil, the juice of a lemon, and some shaved Parmesan cheese. Enjoy.
