Yes you can!#9

Of course we all like the word YES>>> YES>>> YES>>>> but then we grow up and realize you get a  lot of No's with each of those matching Yes's.  The No's follows things we cannot do. That of course is a real Bummer, downer, or just plain SUCKS!!! As the kids say... But I am going to find everyone another Big Fat YES!!!!
It is from the food group Milk and more importantly >>YOGURT<<<
Like the movie Gig Fat Greek Wedding (Loved that Movie).. We will take from the word Yogurt and add the word Greek God's Yogurt... This is the Best Yogurt on the freeking Planet... It is smooth, loaded with
pro-biontics,comes Plain, W/Honey,Natural,Strawberry. (4) flavors of natural healthy goodness.
You can eat this with cearle, granola, fruit. Mix into your cooking recipes to cut back on sugar, adds flavor, mositness, and protein.
Or you can have this for your ice cream snack, have a 1/2 cup of yogurt with blueberries, and a squirt of whip cream. Put a few slices of banna's and a little chocolate sauce, then to finish it off a cherry on top!
This is a delicious lower calorie Banana Split, and when you put that first spoonful in your mouth you will definitely know why. So take back the word Yes and put Greek God's Yogurt in your fridges and start enjoying Snack time or anytime again.divadishkitchenscatering.com

Just a bite!#8

What is the secret to loosing weight? how am I going to shed these pounds before whatever event?
These are all questions I think the Universe asks themselves.
The simple answer as I see it is food portions sizes, combinations of foods, and No Processed foods.
Of course if you absolutely have to have something, because those Cravings are worse than giving birth pains, then have Just one Bite.
Remember when the Big thing was taking a one bite of something and spitting it out? it wasn't for the food value, or for satisfying Hunger, it was for just the Taste!. We all thought it was the next Big Weight Lost Plan, really.
The movie stars were doing it, Farrah Fawcett, Elizabeth Taylor, they swore by it, so of course they must know, they look Fantastic! Of course what we did not know was they like everyone else gained weight too, and when their bodies could not take the eating, then the purging, then the starving they went to The Fat Farms, and had work done.We do not have that luxury, and it is very hard on our bodies even if we could afford it!
So what can we do? We can eat moderately, eat 6-8 small meals per day, including snacks.
Drink 4-8 glasses of water, skip drinking Soda,have Black Tea or Coffee (2-4 cups a day), eat Greek Yogurt for digestion, and avoid Processed Foods like it was a Plague!
This will take training, like for the first 2-4 weeks you will be tempted to over indulge, but after you do you will feel bloated, and uncomfortable and then realize, you feel so much better when you don't do it.  Wallah you gradually are just doing it Naturally.
That is what Dieting (Hate,Hate that Word) is, a gradual change in how we look and eat food.This is the Key to Successful weight Loss, No shiny pills, No Magic Tricks, No Fancy Diet, just plain common sense approach to how you deal with food! I hope this helps and you all take the time you need to give my suggestions a try.
Please let me know how you are doing, by leaving me comments, or e-mail me @ elizabethjj555@gmail.com
I look forward to hearing how it is going! Success is measured in small steps Not Leaps!

Can't touch this!?#7

Okay people our favorite shows on The Boob tube tonight, what ever it is doesn't matter. We already eaten dinner, and our stomachs say heh, itsn't it snack time? Ohhhhhhhhh, but you are watching your waistline and say No way, I can't touch anything in that kitchen.....! Wrong,,, you can have my creation for the best tasting popcorn this side of New York City... Really...
Here is how it is made... take a 1/4 of popcorn + 1/4 of dark olive oil pour into a 4quart heavy bottom saucepan with tight lid and put on stove flame or electric to high till popping starts. Keep the pan roting around till all the popping noise stops and then pour out into large bowl add a little Sea salt on each layer as it goes into the bowl.
This is very, very, low-calorie. (2) 8oz bowls 100 calories. Fiber, Flavor and you are full afterward. Problem solved.divadishkitchenscatering.com

This little Piggy#6

Following the Miss Potters story book, this Little Piggy, I am sure she did not have in mind how we as a Nation have gotten this way.
Why TV and ads in our papers will not rest till we all have weight problems or diseases from our weight problems.
How can we as a Nation and a properous country tell them No-MORE!
I think we need to solicit the help of our congress, our legislators, our pet dogs!
I mean it, my dog Travis is the best Weight Watcher I own. He is a very active Border -Colie Mix Breed.
He needs a walk every day. So who's going to do it if I don't put on my walking boots, and get him out the door. 
He is the best piece of exercise equipment I own, and I do own a Treadmill & a Bowflex which I do use (3) times a week religiously, and not for a clothes rack either.lol.
So take a little aspiring advice from Miss Divadish, pitch the Dish, and take a walk, the exercise will do you good, and the dog will thank you by licking your face soaking wet all over! What could be better than that!

Biggest Loser#5

We all hear the TV hype about how we all need to slim down to a reasonable size.
Super-Size me is No longer in Mcdodonald's commericials advertising.
Taco-Bell's is now pushing veggie taco's
Arby's is back to pushing the BBQ everything hamburger
Domino's is limiting you to 256 pizza's deliveries.
Every commercial on TV is Food Gluttony.
We just don't stand a chance, we are consistently bombarded with it 24/7
So here is my common sense approach to the obvious over-eating they are forcing Us to watch.
The MUTE> BUTTON> if you cannot hear the ads, and how they so deliciously describe all that food splendor you are less likely to go to your fridges and Pig-OUT!
I am pulling for you as Red Green says, so we can do this togetherdivadishkitchenscatering.com!

Firming your Batwings!

Hello everyone:
As a person who will try almost anything to keep looking modestly good, I found a simple exercise that works on that problem area we so nicely call "The Batwing " skin under the forearms. As we loose weight this skin losses it's elasticity and it swings or spreads like a Bat's Wing's, hence the name it has so doubly received, Batwings!
The little Secret Remedy.... is using a elastic Rubber band exercise rope. You can get them @ any Sports equipment department in almost any store. Using this rubber band as I like to call it, will tighten up that flab and make your Batwing's look much better. Now I am professing  a complete Miracle here.. I am saying if you have lost a normal amount of weight, and if you do this simple stretching exercise (3) times a week, 50-100 times per arm it will definitely help! I have been doing it now over 8+ years and my arms do not do their own Dancing by themselves! And that my friends makes Me a very HAPPY-GIRL!!!!!
I hope this has helped all of you a little bit. Till tomorrow then Miss Divadishdivadishkitchenscatering.com
