Diet Hints ---- Painless

SALT CONTRIBUTES TO WEIGHT GAIN BECAUSE IT CAUSES THE BODY TO STORE WATER.  YOU CAN GET THE SAME SATISFACTION OF TASTE USING OTHER HERBS AND SPICES.  GARLIC IS MY FAVORITE.

CUT CALORIES THRU BETTER SEASONING.  USE GARLIC, HERBS AND SPICES INSTEAD OF BUTTER, FATTY DRIPPINGS, CATSUP AND MAYONNAISE. THIS WILL HELP REDUCE CALORIES AND YOU WILL STILL EAT A LOT OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS.  YOU ALREADY KNOW THE OLD ADAGE; A LITTLE CAN BUILD INTO A LOT.  CHECK ON THE CALORIE CONTENT OF SOME OF THE THINGS YOU USUALLY USE FOR SEASONING.  I KNOW I WAS THE WORLD WORST FOR I COULD NOT COOK VEGETABLES WITH OUT A LITTLE BACON GREASE.

I REDISCOVERED A TOOL FROM MY CHILDHOOD.  “A PRESSURE COOKER.”  PUT A GIVEN DISH IN THE COOKER WITH ONE-CUP WATER.  SPRINKLE ON THE HERBS AND SPICES AND COOK FOR THE RECOMMENDED TIME.  WHAT FLAVOR!!!  YOU WILL BE SURPRISED.  NO FAT, NO SALT, JUST FLAVOR.

IT IS EASY TO USE GARLIC FOR FLAVOR.  TO PEEL THAT GARLIC EASIER, DROP INTO BOILING WATER FOR 30/60 SECONDS, NO LONGER, RINSE IN COLD WATER, THE PEEL COMES RIGHT OFF.  I TELL YOU THIS, FOR I WOULD LIKE YOU TO BECOME A GARLIC LOVER SUCH AS I.
