8 Weightless Winning Ways with Summer Fare

Healthify outdoor entertaining with easy-do ideas:
1. Thirst Quencher: Stay hydrated with plenty of water. Add lemon, lime or cucumber slices for a super refresh.
2. Go Green: Serve summer's bounty of leafy greens and veggies with low-fat or fat-free dressings.
3. Smoky Veggies: Grill corn, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and more for great flavor with little fat.
4. Flavor Up: Dry rubs or marinades boost flavor in meats and veggies and keep the fat low. More on marinades > www.eatbetteramerica.com/diet-nutrition/cooking-techniques/a-little-marinade-magic.aspx
5. Dog Days: Turkey and chicken hot dogs are not always low in fat.  Compare nutrition labels for healthiest options.
6. Best Buns: Buy whole wheat or whole grain buns or wrap burgers and dogs in whole wheat tortillas.
7. Fresh & Fruity: Mix grated fresh gingerroot with a bit of sugar and fruit chunks for a flavorful low-cal finale.
8. On the Rocks: Heap a glass full of ice, then add your beverage to cut beverage calories in half.
