MELONS MAKE GOOD APPETIZERS

When thinking about appetizers, do you usually consider melons? Melons are over 90% water, so they are perfect as appetizers. Researchers at Penn State University found that those who consumed a water-rich appetizer before meals ate 448 less calories during the meal than did those whose calorie equivalent snacks were without water. 

Hint: Try melon slushies as appetizers.
