We live in the iPod world these days, and people want to get everything personal and instant. Why paying hefty personal trainer fees, when you can download an MP3 into your ipod, and play it while you exercise.

1. All lettuce is not created equal

If you are looking for nutrients, dark, leafy greens, Romaine lettuce and Spinach are your best options. They have more antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals than Iceberg lettuce.

2. Fat-free dressing is your best bet

 Fat free dressing will save you a lot of calories. But definitely be mindful of how much you're using. Less is more.

3. The more colorful the better

Load up on raw vegetables, including broccoli, bell peppers, carrots and tomatoes to maximize the vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants you get from your salad.

4. Always add protein

If you don't you will be hungry, which will cause you to eat more later. Hard boiled eggs, lean cuts of meat [like turkey or chicken] or beans -like chickpeas or black beans].
