Tis the season for weight gain.

If you are like me, you are endulging in all kinds of wonderful food this holliday season.  I am not really worried about the weight gain.  Yes! I have been eating like crazy, infact I am eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's Creme Brulee right now. But in all seriousness,  don't let all the great food scare you away this season, just eat moderately and after the season is over get back on track.  I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

No sacrifice here.

I reciently found a fantastic chicken recipie that turned out fantastic and very tasty PLUS low calorie. I have added a link on where to find it and the how to video.  ENJOY!!

Potatoes 70
Peas 40

Total 435 calories.

Homemade food is so much better for you.

It's easy to get into a habbit of not cooking your own food,  with jobs and family life can seem pretty busy at times so we look to other alternatives like fast food and frozen meals .  I am not saying that the frozen meals are bad but there are so many bennifits from making your own food like,  larger portions with less calories and better tasteing food.  I found a blog of a chef who has hundreds of recipies and how to videos along with those recipies.  A really big plus about this guy is the fact that he likes to make food that has all the flavor with less fat.  Please check it out, you will be glad you did.

Here is the link.  ( He claims the picture above is him )

Great Treat

If you like yogurt I have a great filler to add to any diet.  The product is called Chobani and it can be found at any store.  It is a larger cup of yougurt but only has 140 calories and 14 g of protien. ENJOY!
