We’re always eating boneless, skinless chicken breasts. But is the skin THAT bad? No. Eating a chicken breast with skin will only set you back an extra 26 calories and 3 grams of fat. Plus, it gives a bland chicken breast more flavor, and provides half of your daily requirement of selenium – which is an essential mineral that wards off cancer.

So what is it that makes a milkshake so irresistible… the sugar, the fat, or the flavor? Researchers at the Seattle VA Medical Center say it’s the sweet stuff. Unlike fat, sugar is rapidly absorbed by the body, and the metabolic effects are immediate. As a result, we want more. The simple solution? Avoid foods with added sugar. Not only will you cut extra calories, but you’ll also be less likely to binge.

Don’t cut your vegetables before you cook them.

Scientists found that potatoes retain 50% more potassium when cooked whole, than when they’re chopped up. And carrots hang onto 25% more cancer-fighting compounds when cooked whole. And as a bonus, your food will taste better! According to researchers at Newcastle University in the UK, cutting vegetables into pieces before cooking them means that compounds such as sugars and acids leach into the water – which causes them to lose flavor.
