11. Fruit Facts: Packing it in
[DIET&FITNESS]
Fruit is a perfect diet food, especially for those of us who have a mean sweet tooth. It can curb cravings, boost antioxidants and offers a multitude of other health benefits. But the kind of fruit you eat is almost less important than how it's packaged. Whether you prefer canned, frozen, dry or fresh, weigh the pros and cons and the impact they have on your diet. Dried fruit is certainly convenient, portable and tasty. But it's also easy... Read More

12. An Earthy Way to Eat
[DIET&FITNESS]
Today is Earth Day, and it's a time to focus on all things green. Making just a small change or two, like investing in reusable grocery bags or replacing light bulbs with more energy-efficient ones certainly helps the Earth. But this year, why not help yourself, too? Instead of buying produce at the grocery store from such far-flung areas as South America, try planting a garden full of spring delicacies.

13. Dieters: Say Freeze...
[DIET&FITNESS]
Most people don't use their freezer enough. However, the freezer can be a dieter's best friend. If you're cooking for one, buy produce and meats in bulk and individually package your purchases by serving size. When you plan your menu for the week, you can defrost the pre-packaged staples. If you choose to make stews or soups, you can freeze the remainder. Some of the best snacks for dieters can be found in the freezer case at the grocery... Read More

15. Beware of the Salad Trap
[DIET&FITNESS]
It sounds like a dieter's delight - a big bowl of healthy salad. However, if you don't know how to dress your green and leafy favorites, you could be in trouble. A salad can make the transformation from healthy to unhealthy quicker than you can say crouton. The foundation of the salad isn't at issue.
