Fill Up Without Filling Out

(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwire) -- 10/20/11 -- (Family Features) When it comes to losing weight and taking care of your body, it's really about a couple of basic principles: eat smart and move more. Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories and fat. Many contain lots of water and fiber to give you a feeling of fullness.

A deliciously simple way to fill up without filling out is to eat watermelon, which contains 92 percent water. Every cup packs a gram of fiber for only 46 calories. It's fat, cholesterol free and has no sodium.

Here are some easy ways to fill up your plate with watermelon:

Spoil your appetite with a slice of watermelon before your meal. It will help curb your hunger by satisfying your taste buds.

Top grilled salmon with a watermelon salsa.

Start a meal with a watermelon soup seasoned with mint, ginger and lemon.

To serve, alternate shrimp and watermelon cubes on 4 skewers, and baste with remaining dressing. Serve over fresh basil leaves or romaine leaves.
