    Delicious, filling, low-calorie pudding snack

    Are you looking for a low-calorie treat that is both satisfying and filling? Have I got something great for you. Yogurt plus sugar free Jello pudding mix powder equals wonderfulness! It’s only 69 calories and much more filling than regular yogurt alone. Give it a try and let me know what you think. I just ate some 5 minutes ago…

    You can have sweet baked goods while losing weight

    You already know I love EZ Sweetz sucralose sweetener, but I don’t cook or bake with it. For cooking and baking I like zero calorie Swerve erythritol and allulose sweetener. It comes in several forms: granulated (like table sugar), powdered (like confectioner’s sugar), and brown, and each works very well for baking. It replaces sugar 1:1, so if your recipe…

    Keeping depression at bay for winter weight loss

    I live in the Northern Hemisphere, and from late August until March when the time changes I use a full-spectrum SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) Lamp to keep me from getting the “winter blues” from the dim light of winter. When I’m depressed I’m much less likely to stick to a diet plan because I just figure ‘to hell with it’…

    Every single morning I have 2 cups of coffee around 6am, and they keep me full for a couple of hours. Then at 9:30 I have a smoothie. A delicious, filling low-calorie smoothie that I look forward to every day. At only 185 calories it doesn’t blow my whole calorie budget for the day either. What do you think? Would…

    How I figured out how many calories to eat to lose weight

    Recently I said to a friend that I was going to aim for 1,200 calories a day in order to lose weight, but that was just me guessing at what the right number should be. So I searched around and found this calorie calculator that tells you how many calories you should have in order to lose weight at a…

Welcome

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.
