This is something I really like. I should send it to my weightloss friends and see how it stacks up. So I use some creamcheese about 1/4 cup soften and add some melty type cheese chopped onion, You can also add garlic S & P. When you cook you have to feel the food and add what you like. I then use my chopper and chop spinach, lots of it. So far with the cream cheese and melty cheese you have a really high calorie to nutrition mixture so the spinach is how you are going to make this big food. I add a lot of spinach, so stir it in. You are now going to put this on large portabella mushroom caps or scoop out zucchini like a boat. Bake and enjoy. I think I baked this about 10-15 min. You need to just make the mushroom tender. I have done this with both the large and small zucchini. Because I love fresh spinach and hate that frozen stuff I like this way of adding spinach to my life. I can eat this as a meal.
If you want to know how many calories are in here add up what you are putting in the bowl and divide it by how many servings you get out of it. If I were to say 1/4 C cheese and you put in this really big 1/4 cup cheese because then it is more goowee it's not the same calories. Remember the goal is to think. There is no sneaking. It is either in there or it isn't. A big 1/4 c could be a 1/3 or 1/2. get out your scale. I like to make bigger food by adding more veggies. What am I talking about? to your cream cheese mix you can add mushroom pieces or peppers. These 2 items are great if you are making the zucchini boats.

Metabolic cooking Good dinner
I used some of the pork I had left over from Easter that I added some stirfry sauce and frozen veggies. I put it over rice for DH and mine on salad because I didn't eat a salad for lunch. It was really good. You could taste the citrus flavors. The original was carribean style pork tenderloin.

Green day diet
So things aren't working, what do you do? Toss in the towel, look at some other 1 food diet, take some diet pills or really look at your plan and really see why it isn't working. So the plan is to follow the 27 rules work out like a mad person, You can do it you can do it fast and leap tall buildings in a single bound. So the single bound thing isn't working. Lets look around and see what tools we have. We have some stairs. Will they get us to the top fast? maybe not. Will they get us to the top? They could. On this flight of stairs you see a bunch of platforms. They are like mini break areas. This could be good because you have a lot of stairs to climb. Those stairs also have some obstacles on them that could cause you to fall back.
OK, here is the new plan. We still have the 27 rules but for the 1st month we will have green days and then extra days. This is like calorie rotation which is one of the things that really worked for me. It got me to think and that is what I want from you. Do we want to cut to 500 calories one day and then do 3000 the next? no. This is to big of an extreme.
Day 1 everything you eat has to add nutrition to the body and your total calorie intake at or just below a mim. for your body. Day 2 you can add an extra or a treat. EX: Ice cream or a pc of cake. You get to pick so don't waste your calories remember our goal is to lose body fat. Day 3 and 4 repeat day 1 & 2. With this a treat or extra calories are just 24 hours away. So if you are going to have day 1 eggs in the morning, think about if you really need that cheese on them or can you add some veggies to them. Add some salsa on top, Lunch. If you having a sandwich, think about what is really important on it, do you really need those chips or fires with it. What nutrition does chips add to the body? Can't you go 24 hours with out chips? Remember we want to lose weight. For some people you may say I don't eat chips. You maybe 120 pounds and trying to lose those last 10. You have to really look at what your eating close when your at those last 10. Jillian Michaels has a plan for her get ripped in 30. Read what a day of food is and follow it and the next day put in those extra calories. Is it going to get you ripped in 30 this way? no but if you eat that way on your green days you may get there in 60 instead of giving up.
So now get out your calendar and mark off you green days. If any one ask just tell them the truth, you are doing this test market on the green day diet. Please send me how it's going.
What happens after 1 month of doing every other being a green day? Next month or when you are ready go to 2 green and then an extra day. when your ready go to every 4th day in a couple of months. That would put you at about 2 days a week to have a desert or enjoy some extras at a party.
What you are not allowed to do. you can not cut calories so low that you pigout on things the next day with no nutrition. The body must live on food not sugar. Refer back to the 27 rules. You can not have 2 extra days in a roll. you can have 2 green days but not 2 extra days. You have to plan your extra days. The reason for this is to get you to think. Most people see and eat because their hand reaches their mouth. The goal of the green day diet is to get you to look at everything you are about to get and boost your nutrition. Can you eat 1 M & M? Can you learn to enjoy 1 M & M? Maybe you will learn to not give M&Ms any importance. Do you ever watch some fit people eat? What would your life be like if sugar items had no value in your life. Think about it, you eat and then you go do something. You cook with friends and the talk is more important than the food. You are satisfied without having seconds. You cook just enough, not enough for the army that didn't show up. You can make something fresh. You plan for your left overs so really they are pre cooks. (I precooked chicken today for something tomorrow) This means it's not extra that could be eaten now. Put it away right away because it is pre spoken for food. Enough about that.
So I will mark my calender and as I write I am finishing day 2 an extra day. I had some chocolate. 1 kiss and 2 squares of dark chocolate. My chicken on salad was great. Had some watermelon too. My best to all of you.
