Liquid AHHHHS

GREAT!!!!
Here's a recipe sent to me
A Veggie Venture Quick Radish & White Bean Salad ♥ Posted: 18 Mar 2009 01:17 PM PDTHow to fall in love with radishes: Toss together a quick medley of chopped radishes and tomatoes brightened with olives, capers, parsley and lemon juice. Add canned beans for protein. Skip the oil.


Try making liquadas (fruit milkshakes--I call them Liquid AHHS) in the morning instead of going to restaurant
Banana, Frozen Strawberries, Skim milk (or oj depending on the fruit), splenda, vanilla extract.
Then blenderize all.

I know you will find this hard to believe but I actually like my oatmeal and my yogurt. and I'll try your milkshakes when I start working out in the yard. Then I won't want to take the time to go out to bkfst. For now, it's a routine I like and so does Mom. I feel better if I can have a fattening meal about once a week. My next fattening meal is going to be pizza ! ! ! I've been dreaming of all that cheese - - real stuff.

I'll try to remember to let you know before I plan to eat it so you can remind me about the 4 bites. I think when I hit ### will be a good time.

Isn't it funny that I don't crave sweets anymore? I'm even afraid to try one of the desserts from your cookbooks. I'm afraid it will switch the lever back to the cravings and it's so good not to crave them. - - the sweet stuff anyway.

The longer you go without sweets, the less you will crave them.
That is also true for fatty foods, but it takes a loooooootttttttt longer for that to kick in.

Here's some tips for that pizza when you finally have it:
Eat an apple just before you eat the pizza
Buy a slice...not a whole one
Put everything on it you want EXCEPT sausage....peperoni is even better that sausage(canadian bacon is even better)...onions, bell peps, shrooms, fresh toms, fresh basil are all good.
Take 4 or 5 paper towels with you a blot all that grease from the top...that is not the good part anyway.
Eat it early in the day and walk a long way to and from the pizza joint
Drink a BIG ice tea during the 4 bites (I myself can't stop at 4 bites unless I really fill up on tea) save the rest for breakfast the next day or the day after...it will taste even better then.
Eat 6 prunes so it doesn't stay in your system long.

Even better...
slice French bread (it is almost always low fat or fat free), spread with my chunky spaghetti sauce, sprinkle VERRRY little parmesan, broil.
I have been craving Pizza since you started this diet, but have not had it yet. But I have my frozen lasagna to fall back on. We don't think it's too mushy...it is mushier than I normally make it because I used so many mushrooms...but at least it gets me past the pizza cravings.Maybe I'll make a different one for your next box, with less shrooms and more peppers
Love S


I don't think I've had your lasagne yet. Not mushy sounds good.
And yes I'll try all your suggestions. I had thought of most of them except blotting. That's key.

I thawed the curry sauce but didn't have it. Instead I had 1/2 ckn breast (no skin/fat), carrots and tomatoes.

The curry sauce smells very strong. Should I thin it? With what?

Heat it in a sauce pan, taste it. If it needs thining use broth or skim milk...but keep in mind that it is going on very bland rice. I can't remember if I put raisins in that batch or not.

Ok. I like Indian food so I'll like this I think. Some Indian food gives me the trots. Some of the very hot stuff.
Isn't this exciting????????? I have at least one pair of jeans in every size smaller than I am now. I tried the next smaller size and they fit ! ! ! !!

Be sure to save those big jeans...they could be a BIG incentive to never go that route again. Do you have the picture of yourself like the one that used to sit on mom's organ. You were in Korea in a bright blue dress and skinny as a rail. Dig it out and put it somewhere prominent.
Love S


I threw it away. It had M in it. Somewhere I have one B dug out of me in a bikini. If I find it, I'll save it.
