ONO Slimming Tofu Saute

Slimming Tip #1: Eat foods that are high in water content, such as broccoli and yellow zucchini, to help you control cravings and help you stay slim. Not only is this meal delicious, it helps you feel full with less calories because of the high water content in the veggies and the infusion of ONO Simply Slim tea.

Slimming Tip #2:  Drink 1 cup before the meal and have 2 cups during the meal. The ginger and peach in this tea are perfect complements to this Asian inspired dish.

Slimming Tip #3: Drink HOT beverages such as an ONO Slimming Tea after meals. Why? Because cold water will solidify any oils you’ve consumed which slows down your digestion.
