Some of the vegetables that burn fat the best are celery, cabbage, and onions.  The reason that these vegetables burn more fat, is that it takes more energy for your body to process them.  Knowing this, I try to add these to the meals that I make the most.

Tonight for dinner we decided to make a stir fry.  I am running low on vegetables, but I do have my standby carrots, celery, onions and a little cabbage.  For fun I am going to throw in some zucchini that a neighbor brought by, and some frozen peas.  I am adding some chicken which I have cut up, and then I will add some Chinese noodles for a filler.  Sometimes I will use rice (of course I always use half brown rice to add more nutrition), but tonight it will have to be just noodles.  I didn’t have time to pre-cook the rice.  This is a dinner that my whole family actually likes.  I think by adding the chicken and noodles or rice, they think it tastes better.  Knowing that it is mostly vegetables with these few fillers makes me feel good about feeding to them.  If you can trick them into eating vegetables, they will actually gain a taste for them, and maybe later in life enjoying them.
