One of the things my aunt and I joked about during her recent visit<\/a> was temporarily being on the \u201cbeige diet.\u201d Case in point, our Friday night fish fry included fries, a roll and, of course, deep-fried fish \u2026 beige, beige and more beige. Lunch that same Friday wasn\u2019t much better and may or may not have included one or two fried treats. While our beige splurge seemed fun at first, afterwards we both felt heavy, sluggish and even a little blue. The occasional splurge is totally fine and, in my opinion, keeps your meal plan realistic and sustainable. But one of the simplest ways to help keep you on track with your healthy goals is to think in color with plenty of vegetables and fresh fruit. Thanksgiving is tomorrow here in the U.S. and includes plenty of beige foods (I\u2019m looking at you, turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy). Enjoy these holiday staples, but don\u2019t forget to color your plate! Try one or two of these tips.<\/p>\n
