The Rainbow Diet: Lose Weight
Even white foods have health benefits. They tend to get a bad rap, due to nutrient-poor processed grains, such as rice, bread and pasta. But foods like white onions add a lot of flavor to recipes, while providing vitamin C and lowering cholesterol. Garlic is another white flavor enhancer -- it provides selenium and may even prevent cancer. White fish such as tilapia is a great low-fat source of protein and is so versatile to cook or grill. Substitute plain Greek yogurt in your favorite recipes that call for sour cream to make a guilt-free dressing or dip -- it's high in protein, with a thick, creamy texture. Make it a habit and get some color.
