Presentation is everything


Here's a bit of inspiration:
 Tomatoes, cucumber, red peppers and six olives, served with lemon juice and sea salt with a pinch of cayenne.
 Grilled eggplant with red and yellow peppers, garnished with chopped parsley and a pinch of sea salt.
Fresh fruit, consisting of pineapple, mango, blackberries and raspberries.

Ok, so what do all of these images of dishes based on fresh fruits and vegetables have in common?
I'll give you the answer: They are presented in a way that makes them look really tasty and inviting. The simplicity in how they are served also give them an exclusive touch, which may make you enjoy them more when you sit down to eat them.

If you are trying to lose weight or make your meals healthier and lower in calories, it is really important to focus on presentation. That means serving the dishes in nice ware, on pretty plates and with lots of color variety will make them more satisfying to eat. All of the dishes (or snacks) above clock in at around 100-200 calories which is very good if your goal is to shed a few pounds post holiday season.
