100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats
At first I panicked. I'm smart enough to know that the secret to weight control is having an active lifestyle and consuming less calories than you burn. Well, I certainly was active, but the calorie part of the equation was working against me.
Determined to get those pounds off that I had gained, I started packing celery, carrots and rice cakes for my lunch every day. Let me tell you, it wasn't too long before I was sneaking back to the drive-thru to get my french fry fix.
One day I was crying on a co-worker's shoulder about how I was starting to feel like a rabbit instead of a woman, when she said "Relax, have some White Chocolate Gogi Fudge." "Yeah, right," I said. "You're some friend tempting me with junk food."
What She Said Next Stopped Me In My Tracks
"Honey, this is low calorie food. I'm not kidding." I took a bite and, like the leading lady in a 1930's film, I almost swooned. That was some fine-tasting fudge. I'll tell you that.
Turns out that she had received the recipe from a friend of hers who was into health and nutrition. But, like most of us, she had a bit of a sweet tooth. Instead of undoing all the good things she had done each day to take care of her body, she created a fudge recipe that was actually healthy. "Hmm," that got me to wondering...
If there was a recipe for healthy, low calorie fudge that tasted this good, what else was out there that I was missing?
I became a woman on a mission. I started tapping into my fitness network and, believe it or not, I discovered that there were plenty of good-tasting, low calorie, sugar and chemical-free 100% healthy recipes for things I would have never imagined.
I bow down humbly in the presence of such graentess.
