Is it that time of the year when our clothes start getting tighter? Well, we can remedy that eating vegetables. Include in your diet the winter squash. It's proven according to research that getting more vegetable in your diet can help you drop some of those unwanted pounds. Try the acorn, butternut. The squash is high in fiber but it also has water. That means you can eat lots of it and feel full without going overboard on calories. Just be careful with the butter and brown sugar, of course.
