    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…

    Some surprising benefits of exercise

    When you work up a sweat, you’re burning calories, which, when combined with a balanced diet, leads to weight loss. And you know what’s sweet about that? Slimming down not only makes you look and feel great, but it also reduces the risk of things like diabetes, heart issues, and some nasty cancers. So, it’s a win-win for your looks…

I'm Violet, and you've found my healthy, low-calorie recipes.
I eat frequent low-calorie meals and snacks as well as a delicious low-calorie dessert every day.

I believe there are no "good" or "bad" foods: Food is not a moral choice. I eat all foods, some freely, and some in moderation.
