Diet Tips - Magical Peppers are your Diet Friend

peppers you can buy at Henry Fields

Pep up your diet with peppers.
Mild, Hot, Sweet, Smokey...loaded with flavor.

When you are cutting back calories, salt , sugar, sweets, your diet can be blah and boring.

My diet tip of the day is to add some beautiful peppers to your diet.
Stuff some, grill some, chop them and add to any dish to get lots of flavor
and very little calories.

Hot peppers will rev up your metabolism and contain
a potent pain killer, good for arthritis pain.

Thrifty Tip - grow your own peppers. You'll get varieties that aren't available
in most grocery stores and save a bundle. I've had pepper plants live for years
potted as house plants, even bell peppers will grow indoors.

Kathy's Three Day Marie Callender Diet

I use this diet to drop a few pounds when needed. If you are sick of cooking,
this "diet" can be a real treat. I like to eat. It is important to me to have a variety
of low cal but tasty food. Price is important as well. I came up with this easy diet
and it works well for me. A big plus is "no dirty dishes". Yay!

Walmart has Marie Callender's for $2.50 each, but William just called from MO
and they were $1.89 there!

To lose weight: To take off 1 pound per week, you need to create a "deficit" of 500 calories per day. You can do this by eating 250 fewer calories a day (for example, cut out a 20-ounce bottle of regular soda) and burning an extra 250 calories through physical activity (for example, walk for 2.5 miles). Another way to cut back on calories is to watch your portion sizes.

I don't work for or get paid by Marie Callender's but I should own stock in the company. Wally World in Fargo has to reorder MC's frozen dinners after I shop.

Marie Callender's frozen meals are healthy and low calorie.

Sumo Wrestlers force their bodies to gain enormous amounts of weight.
They start the fat gaining day by skipping breakfast to slow down their
metabolism. So for Heaven's sake, don't skip breakfast when you diet.
