You need your veggies. Try to get 2 cups with every meal or at least lunch and dinner. Not just for the vitamins, but also for satiety. You are much less likely to reach for the wrong food when you're stuffed to the gills with low-calorie vegetables. Not being hungry helps you lose weight, so get used to stuffing your mouth with roasted goodness like this broccoli.

Season the Shirataki noodles in advance and cook the salmon. Then all you need to do when you're ready to eat is warm this up and top with your already chopped scallions, cucumbers, cabbage. Make your dressing in advance too for a quick few spoon fulls and as always, slice the avocados fresh because they are so delicate and like to brown when you turn your back. We could eat this dish every day for a week! So delicious and SO packed with veggies.

It couldn't be simpler. Slather fresh asparagus stalks with your olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then broil, baby broil, to a nice golden brown.

Super-fresh fish and vegetables makes this Asian dish an absolute delight. It may sound slightly complicated, but after you've made it once you'll see it simpler. The reward for your effort is absolutely delicious. Flavored 'rice,' hoisin-brushed salmon, roasted carrots and shiitakes, all sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, and vinaigrette. You're welcome!
