Summer releases a bounty of delicious produce that tastes great, is light, refreshing and often requires no cooking, keeping you out of the hot kitchen.  Whether you want to lose weight, trim your waistline or maintain your figure for swimsuit season, these healthy options can help you look and feel great for the summer. Next time you’re at the farmer’s market or grocery store, take our list to stock up!

Watermelon: It’s delicious, sweet, low-cal and mostly water – the perfect snack! Stay hydrated and pep up your salads with this wonder fruit.

Grilled Vegetables: The grill isn’t just for burgers. Veggies like red peppers, zucchini, carrots, eggplant and asparagus are all plentiful in summer and taste great grilled. The possibilities are endless – use them in side dishes, sandwiches and pasta salads for filling, low-fat meals.

Chilled soups: Chilled soups like gazpacho are a great way to cool down, get your daily intake of veggies, and keep the calories in check. A light soup before your meal can also help fill you up so you eat less.

Blueberries and raspberries: Both are loaded with healthy antioxidants and are low on the glycemic index, meaning they don’t spike your blood sugar. Drop some on your oatmeal, plain yogurt, waffles and salads.

Whole grain salads: Grains like wheat berry and tabouli are easy to prepare and will fill you up without a lot of calories. Add beans, veggies, raisins, scallions and top with olive oil and lemon.

SculpSure can treat those remaining trouble spots in just 25 minutes with no surgery, downtime or bruising of surrounding skin. It works by raising the temperature of body fat in problem areas. The fat is then eliminated by the body over time. Results are typically seen in six to 12 weeks.
