Okay, so let's jump right in.
Week 1- I love food. I love all food that isn't dead animals or mushrooms. Okay, so how do I reconcile this?
I've found two things so far that have helped this week. One is a legitimately lovely dessert, and the other is a great dip for snackables.
Maple Dip
This is a really nice substitute for dessert because it's nice and sweet, but the sweetness is just from maple syrup. Plus it's made mostly from tofu, which is nice on the protein factor. If you're wary of tofu, silken tofu is the stuff that liquifies and has no taste if you put stuff in it.
1 package silken tofu
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
Put it all in a food processor and then pour it over fruit!
Cucumber-Yogurt Dip
This is a really good dip for crackers when I get the craving for mayo-loaded artichoke dip. It's actually also really good with a cut-up veggie dog.
1 cup plain nonfat organic yogurt
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup cucumber, pureed in a food processor
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
Just mix! Or as they say on Wookie cooking shows- whip, whip, stir!
So far so good on keeping up with the exercising. I'll keep you posted.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI would suggest using low fat sour cream and yogurt as opposed to non-fat as non-fat usually has a lot of gross chemicals added (some of them make you feel more hungry too).
Good luck with your workout!

p.s. Make a goals chart so you can track your progress more accurately. Even though I'm always here to give you a kick in the butt when you need it :).
