1. FREE Teleclass!

Teleclasses are a new way of learning here in Karen's Kitchen. Karen
announces the class, you register for it via e-mail, and she e-mails you a
phone number and the confirmation of the time and your registration in the
class and a reminder just before the class. You call in to that number at
the designated time, along with all the other class members, and Karen
leads you in the discussion or learning topic of the class. It is THAT
SIMPLE. From your home, your phone, no computers involved.

"What's for Lunch? Don't make me COOK IT!" is the topic for this month's
free teleclass, the kick off for the March Menu of the Month. Too busy to
cook delicious meals? Have you figured out some real quick no brainers?
Let's put our heads together and figure out EVEN MORE! Keep your
commitement to balanced eating alive and vital by participating with other
Zonerians from Karen's Kitchen. "What's for Lunch?" Save time! Save
money! Save sanity!

Copy and paste your class choice into an e-mail:

--Thursday, 1p.m. EST February 25 "What's for Lunch?"

--Thursday, 9 p.m. EST February 25 "What's for Lunch?"

and mailto:karen@...

You will receive confirmation and instructions via e-mail.

2. "What's for Breakfast?" the new Menu of the Month

It is the most important meal of the day, yet the one you are probably most
rushed to prepare, least awake for, and least familiar with in coming up
with ideas for a delcious, balanced meal. Come see what great ideas Karen
has for breakfast around HER kitchen at http://www.karenskitchen.com and
click on Menu of the Month. While you are they, check out the NEW RECIPES
in the permanent file of RECIPE BOX.

3. TVP-- the versitile and TASTY alternative to protein powder

If you have been around Karen's Kitchen for awhile, a few months back you
got a view into the machinations of her mind as she stretched the
boundaries of using TVP beyond the "ground beef" applications.

By popular demand, Karen has brought back a portion of the information on
TVP (textured vegetable protein) and her delicious and whacky fruit cobbler
using TVP--it is now part of the permanent RECIPE BOX in Karen's Kitchen.
Look for the new link!

4. Watkins Products for Home and Health

practically heard her sigh over the delicious Citrus Cilantro Grapeseed oil
for dressings or making baked chicken.

concentration.

Did you know that herbs and spices are only at their optimum for ONE

5. Plateau Breakers

You started Zoning and slowly but surely the weight came off. Then one
week, two weeks, maybe three weeks went by with no loss of weight. WHAT IS
HAPPENING??? You still have MORE weight to lose!!!

A couple of things could be happening. If you are exercising, you might be
putting on MUSCLE WEIGHT. Muscle weighs more by volume than fat, so you
could still be losing FAT while you are gaining MUSCLE. This is a good
thing, because resting muscle burns calories! Measure inches, not pounds!

If you are really in a weight loss slump or at a plateau, try this:
eliminate ONE CARB BLOCK A DAY and ADD three fat blocks (1.5 grams per fat
block in this instance). Continue that each meal until the weight loss
resumes, then go back to your regular blocks. BE SURE that the extra fat
you are adding is monounsaturated, however!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6. Wisdom and Humor

Blessed is the person who can laugh at themself, for they will never cease
to be amused!

You know you have had enough of the 90's when "cleaning up the dining area"
means throwning the fast food bags and wrappers out of the back seat of the
mini van.

Insanity is when you continue to do the same old thing and expect different
results.
