Making Dieting FUN! Redefining the Dieting Experience - the Fun Way! THE GREEN THUMB DIET |

It all began a few years ago, shortly after the Christmas holidays. Tom and his wife were sick of all the stuffing of the stuffing they had done during the holidays. Wifey had cooked a 57 pound turkey and for two people who are not much bigger than a gnat, it takes a long time to eat that much bird. She fixed turkey croquets, turkey sandwiches, turkey enchiladas, turkey fetachini, turkey soup, turkey pot pie, turkey jerky, turkey brown betty - and so many other turkey recipes that she and Tom didn't even want to look at another turkey. And both of them were so bloated that they had to tie weights around their ankles so that they wouldn't float away. It was at this point that they both decided that perhaps fresh vegetables and fruits would be a very nice, healthy change and would help with the de-bloating. Although turkey in itself is a pretty lean food, all the cheese and other goo that were part of the total recipes weren't very calorie friendly. |

Tom purchased a peck of seeds that first year. He and wifey had dieted many times in the past, so they yearned to go beyond celery, cucumbers and carrots. Tom went ape with tomatoes - every size and every color imaginable. The couple made tasty salads and hot sauce. And he even grew the peppers and onions that went in the hot sauce. Sometimes they would dress in sombreros and frilly ponchos for mealtime because Tom's hot sauce was a four-star dining experience that deserved serious celebration. One season, he took time to sun-dry a few of the tomatoes he had grown, and he and wifey enjoyed the best pasta salad imaginable - prepared with light Mayo, of course. Tom began experimenting with squash and melons and graduated to fruit. Their massive backyard begin to look like the Garden of Eden might have looked. There were even tiny earth snakes roaming about to help keep down the Evil Bug Count. Then something amazing happened! |
