At one point in our history, surviving meant eating a lot of high-calorie foods. For Canadians today, being healthy means steering away from fat-laden, calorie-dense foods but making choices that still satisfy. When faced with a craving that just won't quit, reach for fibre-rich foods that are warm or crunchy, such as a savoury vegetable stew or a zesty bean salad. You'll get lots of satisfaction -- without the regret.
