Recipe: Cheesecake in a Mug

Do you ever get those temptations to have something sweet, but you just don’t want to make a whole batch of something because you don’t want it sitting in your kitchen screaming your name all week?

::giggle::

Well, I get that way sometimes.  HA!

My daughter has been finding all these recipes online recently about something-in-a-mug.  One serving of something, and one serving only.

I thought to myself, what an ingenious idea!  Let me create some P3 friendly recipes like that!

Once you make this, you can garnish it with almost anything you want, I chose pecans and strawberries, only because they are two of […]

hCG Success: Kitty

Working with Biz has given me the tools and insights to stay at a healthy weight permanently!

What was it like before you used Biz’s One-on-One coaching services?

I was able to lose weight and get to my goal weight with hCG, but I had a harder time keeping it off. Travel and vacations were especially an issue. I found myself doing a lot of steak days, and using more hCG rounds as a method of maintaining my weight loss. I read so much conflicting information from others in chat forums and email lists, but I just couldn’t pick out what […]

Recipe: Easy Peasy Roast Beef

Recipe: Easy Peasy Roast Beef

Who doesn’t like roast Beef?

Sometimes on P2 we get the idea that food has to be bland and not interesting.  Why deprive yourself of a great tasting meal just because you are on P2?

Like the title says, this is easy peasy, and depending on what cut of beef you use, can be quick (some cuts might require more time simmering).

You can even cook this ahead and freeze in appropriate portions, and grab and go!  If you are looking for a place to fit some clean fats in, then a dollop of sour cream will go nicely with this.  Yum!

Enjoy!

Easy […]

Recipe: Chocolate Mug Cake (Dairy and Gluten Free)

My nemesis is not desserts (especially chocolate), so I don’t test them often.

However, I know that if there is one thing that people miss the most when trying to maintain drastic weight loss, it seems to be desserts.

I try to accommodate.

::giggle::

What I like about this is that it’s only one serving.  Even though it’s legal for P4, and it wont hurt you like it’s wheat counterpart, it’s still loaded with carbs so it’s not an everyday thing.

One serving means you get that craving out of the way, without a whole pan full of sweets staring you in the face for […]

Support: No One Person is an Island

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main. ~ By John Donne

A client once sent me this video. It’s no secret I’m fascinated by anything related to TED. However, this particular video is extremely intriguing.  It specifically talks about the social network community. It reminded me of our own Happily Thinner After (HTA) website and how it has morphed and evolved into a life of its own.

In the video, Nicholas Christakis discusses the value of social networks. He contends they are a kind of social capital. New […]

Support: Keep Swinging in 2014!

My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. ~ Hank Aaron

Throughout history, sports figures have given us a plethora of motivational quotes to keep trying, not only on the field, but off it as well.

Hank Aaron was considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Yet according to his quote above, there were times when he felt badly, was in a slump, or he had trouble off the field.

How did he fix it?  The only thing […]

Recipe: Mexican Chicken Soup

When it’s cold, what is better than a cup of soup?

Better yet, a SPICY cup of soup.

It just warms you from the inside out.

Just because you are on P2 does not mean you have to suffer with plain and bland foods.  Kick them up a notch (or two) by using spices!

Be careful however, spices do have calories, and when you are dealing with a limited amount of calories during the day, they can add up quite quickly.

Did you know that as long as the serving size listed on a label has less than five calories that the company can legally […]

Recipe: Poppy Chicken Dip

Sports parties.

They are all over the place come January.

You need something simple, and legal, yet delicious to take so that you don’t go backwards on all the progress you made during the proceeding weeks getting all that holiday weight back off.

::giggle::

But seriously.  This stuff is good.  Very simple to make, very tasty, and if you don’t make a double recipe, you are going to be very sorry because you will have nothing left for yourself.  HA!

I seriously love me some of those mini peppers, and I find the sweet crunch of the peppers blends nicely with the salty and creaminess […]
