Food And Diet Tips
 
Nuts for the Holidays...
 
Almonds
When people with high blood cholesterol ate about one ounce of almonds a day, their "bad" LDL cholesterol dropped by four- percent. If they ate two ounces, it dropped by nine-percent. "Good" HDL cholesterol rose slightly.
Almonds have 165 calories per ounce it is important not to over indulge!!!
 
Coffee Lovers Beware!
 
While you are Gift Shopping at the Mall this Holiday Season...
Steer away from the 300-calorie Starbucks Frappuccino!!
Beware of all these high calorie coffee drinks!!
 

 
MOTIVATION

BELIEF MAKES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE.
 
In order to succeed, you must first believe you can.
The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life,
is the will to try it and the faith to believe that it's possible.

The only true limit to your realization of tomorrow
will be your doubts of today.
The moment you carry the conviction of belief,
in that moment your dream will become reality.

You can, if you think you can, .

From DebbiesKitchen.com

1 small package 3.9oz. of sugar free instant chocolate pudding

Low fat milk for preparing the chocolate pudding

1 eight-ounce package of fat free cream cheese

1 small container 8-oz. of fat free or lite frozen whipped topping

 Allow the fat free cream cheese and the frozen fat free or lite whipped topping to soften while you prepare the chocolate pudding.

Prepare the chocolate pudding in a large bowl as directed but use low fat milk or skim milk. Use 1-1/2 cups of milk per 3.9 oz. box of pudding.

Place the fat free pudding into the refrigerator to chill and thicken.

Blend together the softened fat free cream cheese and the softened fat free whipped topping.

Add the chilled, thickened fat free chocolate pudding to the fat free cream cheese/whipped topping mixture and blend together very well.

Frost your cake.

*Note…For a thicker frosting simply leave out the milk, blend the softened fat free cream cheese and the fat free whipped topping together and then blend in the dry package of the sugar free chocolate pudding, the frosting will be thicker and you will have more control over it, at this point you can add milk as/if needed.

Use an electric mixer to blend the cream cheese, whipped topping and pudding together.

Refrigerate any left over frosted cake.
