    My new fave low-calorie breakfast: Eggs on Toast with Thyme

    Most mornings I have my low-calorie smoothie for breakfast, but sometimes I crave something hot. It’s cold out, and today is one of those mornings. So I scrambled up a couple of eggs with my secret, high-protein ingredient and seasoned them with thyme. Quick, delicious, and so filling! Eggs are filling and beneficial for weight loss due to their high…

    In praise of PB2 Pure peanut butter powder

    Do you like the flavor of peanut butter but not the calories? PB2 Pure is for you. It is finely powdered peanuts (a peanut flour) with 90% of the fat removed, and you can add it to anything. Add it to my chocolate or vanilla pudding snack, or my low-calorie breakfast smoothie for a taste explosion. Add it to my…

    Its Friday Fun Day! (I never say “cheat day”)

    Every Friday I eat a decadent dinner and dessert, no exceptions. I refuse to say “cheat day” or that I “let” myself do this. I just do it because food isn’t a moral choice. There’s no “good” or “bad” foods. There’s just food. And on Friday evenings I eat delicious treats. The six pictured Fun Size Snickers bars were what…

    Low-Calorie Crunchy Vegetable & Chickpea Salad

    I was craving something savory for lunch, and this Mediterranean recipe was born. It is so good that I’ve been having it in place of my low-calorie egg salad and toast for lunch, and that’s saying a lot. I love that egg salad… Chickpeas, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, and a delicious dressing combine into the perfect make-ahead meal. The recipe…

    Diets that have failed me & the one that is (finally) working

    Pretty sure I’ve tried just about every diet out there for weight loss. I’ve been trying to stay at a healthy weight for decades, and usually it works for a while, sometimes quite a while, but I’ve always gained the weight back. A few of the diets I’ve tried and ultimately ‘failed’ at The act of starting a diet is…
