Tip 2. Correct dressing for salad is important: vegetable oil, if vegetables are served with fish, fermented milk product (for example, low-fat yogurt), if vegetables are served with meat.
Tip 3. For some people, fresh fruits increase the appetite, in which case they can be replaced with baked ones, for example, baked apples or pears.
Tip 4. The menu can be varied with grilled products.
