foods
These
are foods and beverages that you may eat whenever you want—without
having to worry about counting portions or calories. You
can use these foods to increase the appeal of other “healthy”
foods. For example, a nonfat dip will encourage you to eat
those baby carrots and celery sticks. If you have a sweet
tooth, try a diet Jell-O with light whipped topping! All
of these foods or beverages contain less than 20 calories
per serving and have little or no fat.
