From Health<\/em> magazine<\/a><\/p>\n

We've found a new secret weapon for healthy weight loss. It's not gimmicky or expensive but all natural, delicious, and sure to give you fast results: It's your local farmers' market. <\/p>\n

Because just-picked fruits and vegetables smell and taste so amazing, our plan gets you excited about the right foods—the ones that make it easy to shed pounds. And when you surround yourself with juicy tomatoes and sweet peaches (plus farm-fresh eggs and dairy, lean meats, seafood, and whole-grain breads), you'll want to slow down and savor them. That means you'll fill up quicker on fewer calories. So grab your basket, and read on to discover our fresh take on dropping pounds.<\/p>\n

$\"farm-sign\"$ farm-sign<\/span> and you'll lose up to 10 pounds in five weeks.<\/p>\n

Note: The amounts of ingredients are to taste unless otherwise noted.<\/em><\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/em>
Farm-Stand Oatmeal: Cook a packet of plain instant oatmeal<\/a>. Top with 2 tablespoons almonds and 1 cup blackberries; drizzle with 1 teaspoon honey.<\/p>\n

Snack<\/em>
Top 6 ounces plain low-fat yogurt with 1⁄2 cup blueberries and lemon zest.<\/p>\n

Lunch<\/em>
Chicken and Arugula Salad: Marinate 1 quartered apricot in balsamic vinegar; grill until softened. Brush a 4-ounce skinless chicken breast with olive oil, cut in strips, and grill. Top arugula with chicken, apricot, and 2 tablespoons fresh Parmesan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon each olive oil and balsamic vinegar; season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
FYI<\/strong>
Produce takes off the pounds: In a recent study, people who increased the amount of water-rich fruits and vegetables they ate, while lowering their fat intake, lost one-third more weight over six months; they also felt less hungry.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n
