What are Greenies?

Question

Pete Rose says he took "greenies" in his playing days, if only to lose a few pounds

Answer 1

I always referred to greenies as (a) boogers or (b) people with little or no experience.

Perhaps eating a few "greenies" can make you lose a few pounds. Who knows.

Weight Loss Diet Tips
The good news is that you do not need to stop eating your favorite dishes but what you really need to do is eat smaller portions. Have fun and learn to prepare the same dishes with less calories and more greenies. According to most diet experts, the best diet is a low-cholesterol diet, rich in healthy carbs and moderate in protein.
Healthy eating and dieting
Stick to the basics of a healthy dieting program
Plan a balanced Diet
A healthy diet is a balanced diet. It should contain foods from all the food groups as illustrated by the Food Pyramid Guidelines.
Low in Saturated Fat and Low in Refined Sugar
Although we need fat and carbohydrates, we don't need saturated fat or refined sugar. These are causing our diet and weight problem.

Good Diet Nutrition
Good Carbs
Whether we are 15 pounds or 100 pounds overweight, we all need a nutritious diet rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Good carbs, like vegetables, fruit, potatoes, whole wheat bread, pasta, rice, oats, beans, soy and whole grain cereals, provide the right nutrition required by your body. Vegetables, in particular, contain a range of phyto-chemicals, enzymes and other micronutrients that are essential for an efficient metabolism and a healthy diet.

Good Fats (but don’t forget less quantity of fats)
These should come mainly from monounsaturated or polyunsaturated food sources, rather than animal fats. However, since fat contains more than twice the calories of other foods, it should be eaten in reduced quantities if you want to lose weight. When eating animal fats, choose very lean or low fat foods.
