BLT SALAD WITH GARLIC TOAST — DOUGLASVILLE WEIGHT LOSS RECIPE OF THE MONTH

You can have almost any dessert if you can hold yourself to only having a bite or two and you can limit that to once a week. Then you would not have a problem with sweets.

But one candy bar or one sugary coffee drink or one dessert at a restaurant and that can blow all of your hard work at the gym.

So for those times when you need more than just a taste and really want to enjoy a dessert. Try glazed bananas.

GLAZED BANANAS RECIPE

MANGO TROPICAL SMOOTHIE

This uses mango and papaya — if you can’t find any fresh or are just too lazy, there is great frozen mango in the freezer section at Publix (or your favorite grocery store if you are outside of the Douglasville area) So no excuses to get eating better — this is super quick!

Instead of eating : Atlanta Bread Company Turkey Club Panini

You could eat all of this: 2 slices whole wheat, one slice cheese, 3 slices turkey, dijon mustard. AND a cup of vegetable soup AND 3 cups of salad, sliced tomato and 2 tbsp salad dressing

THAT IS A TON OF FOOD!! Way more than you need for lunch — so dump the greasy panini and lose some weight and be FULL longer!!

Instead of eating — Atlanta Bread Company Asiago Cheese Pasta (with over 800 calories and a day and a half worth of saturated fat! WOW)

You could have ALL OF THIS : 2 cups green beans with a pat of butter, a chicken breast, 3 cups of salad, a small lean steak, a small baked potato with fat free sour cream or yogurt, 2 tbsp lite salad dressing.

OH LOOK — that is lunch AND dinner — or you can have the pasta — and oh ya, remember that does not include the bread that they throw in there for you — like you have not had enough carbs

If you have never tried Quinoa — now is your chance.

And to all my great friends in Douglasville and at the gym, it was wonderful to see you on Halloween. Hope the holiday was awesome and that you had your fill. A TIP : Halloween is the day for indulging not for weeks after so if you still have treats kicking around, toss them before they wreck your weight loss or weight maintenance goals
