Weight Loss Tip #751 Fast Food Diet Tip: When dining Mexican, concentrate on the salsa rather than the chips. See how much salsa you can top the chip with and leave room for the real meal. Weight Loss Tip #752 Whirl frozen fruit with skimmed milk to create delicious, low fat shakes. Tasty extracts may be added for enhanced flavor without adding additional calories. A skim milk smoothie prepared with a cup of milk and a half-cup of frozen strawberries contains about 100 calories. Now - isn't that smooth. Weight Loss Tip #753 Lime delight! Whip up a lush, low calories Lime Pie that holds several Keys to your diet success. Key Lime Pie: Dissolve 1 small package of sugar free lime gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. While this mixture cools, whip up 8 ounces of fat free cream cheese (gross when eaten alone, yet divine when used in recipes). Incorporate the juice of 2 nice sized limes into the cream cheese. Add several packets of no calorie sweetener to meet your personal taste preference. Add gelatin mix and stir gently. Pour into graham cracker pie crust. Chill. Top with LIGHT topping if desired. Weight Loss Tip #754 Rise and shine! One regular sized biscuit topped with light jam will make rising easier and goes wonderfully well with a side of scrambled eggs. Weight Loss Tip #755 Mash 1/2 a ripened pear add a bit of no calorie sweetener and a dash of cinnamon. Add a shot of vanilla and a teaspoon of raisins if desired. For about 50 calories - you've got a delicious diet spread. Weight Loss Tip #756 Food Pyramid Weight Loss Tip: Use fats, oils and sweets sparingly. Keep in mind that some fat is necessary in the diet for total nutrition. Although we use a lot of butter substitute in our recipes - a pat or two of butter a day can be a healthy addition to the daily diet. Weight loss and weight maintenance is simply a balance of all good foods. Weight Loss Tip #757 Read labels carefully as manufacturers may interpret 'serving sizes' much differently than the official Food Pyramid. One large slice of bread may equal one serving per package recommendations, but when compared to the Pyramid, the serving size may translate to 3-4 times the recommended level. Weight Loss Tip #758 When dining out, tell the waiter that arrives with that bread basket or chip basket to, "Return to sender!" Weight Loss Tip #759 A cup of chocolate whole milk contains more than double the calories as a cup of skim milk. Weight Loss Tip #760 Holiday Friendly Eggnog - 1 cup of skimmed milk, a dash of ground nutmeg, a dash of ground cinnamon and a shot of real vanilla. Blend until thick with a couple of ice cubes. About 80 calories - enough space to top with light whipped topping.
