Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / December 2006Nifty Gift
Nothing beats the gift I just gave myself! I lost four pounds this week, made my own versions of Moussaka, Cheesecake with Hot Blueberry Sauce, Zucchini Pasta with Meat Sauce, Strawberry Sherbet with Walnuts, and Honey Garlic Chicken Drumsticks with Shitake Mushrooms. My daily calorie totals were 1200 evenly divided between protein, carbs and fat. I had 1.5 liters of water every day. I have a compressed disc and resulting Sciatica so could not exercise this week. My goal is to lose another two pounds by the New Year.

Diva, You go girl! This is a great reminder that it's possible to lose weight while eating delicious, healthy meals.We're going to enjoy this recipe from the Weight Watchers New Complete cookbook while cheering the WI Badgers to victory on New Year's day. Hummus Combine a 15 oz can garbanzo beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt, 2 T lemon juice, 3 crushed garlic cloves, 2 t olive oil, 1 T water, salt, ground cumin and pepper to taste and puree in a food processor. Surround with the freshest, most beautiful vegetables you can find. We will use broccoli, green beans (parboiled), carrots and red and yellow pepper strips.

Oh, you are so right, and I love tahini and the flavor it adds to hummus. This is a lighter version of hummus, though, (from Weight Watchers) and doesn't use tahini. It's really quite good though, even without the tahini. Although tahini (sesame seed paste) is a good source of essential fatty acids, it's fairly high in calories. But by all means, feel free to add tahini. Maybe we should call my recipe "Mock Hummus" :) Take care, eddiegirl 136/135/130 >>> You go girl!

Even a teaspoon (not very many calories) would kick up the flavor. I love sesame oil. >>> Isn't Hummus supposed to have some sesame in it? >>> Tahini for example?

I often add a sprinkle of sesame oil to finished stir frys, and it does add a lot of flavor. Thanks for the tip. Take care, eddiegirl 136/135/130 |
