Total Cleanse - and a photo from me!

So, I’ve been watching Oprah and Dr Oz and he was talking about cleansing the colon and how this can help weight loss. It made sense to me that there could be junk down there clogging up by belly, so I decided to look into  it further.

What the schmoo is colon cleansing then?

Well, I looked into it, and here’s what a medical site I found had to say:

As the colon becomes impacted with dry putrefactive waste, its shape and function are affected in numerous ways. It may stretch like a balloon in certain areas, or develop diverticula (pouches on the intestinal wall), or fall down upon itself (prolapsed colon). All of these colon malformations greatly impair your large intestine’s ability to function, which in turn places severe strain on your digestive organs and glands and affects nutrient assimilation and absorption. The colon is the body’s “sewer system”, and if not treated properly can accumulate toxic poisons, which are absorbed into the bloodstream..

Ewwww. I don’t like the sound of those pouches - sounds just like my hard to shift flab!

So I’m going to try Total Cleanse. Recommended by Dr Oz and I get get a free bottle here: Total Cleanse. And here’s an image from their site - looks great!

Oh, and the photo. Well, here I am, pouches and all (but hidden LOL!)

Lovin the tuna - awesome pasta salad!

I’ve been finding it hard to stick to the healthy stuff, but here’s a delicious pasta salad I made today. Here’s how I did it:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 tbsp. fat-free mayonnaise
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. basil
pinch of oregano, lite salt and pepper
1 cup cooked, small shell macaroni
2 tbsp. chopped celery
2 tbsp. chopped red bell pepper
2 tbsp. chopped green pepper
1 tbsp. chopped green onion
6 1/2 ounces water-packed tuna, drained

Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, basil, lite salt and pepper. Stir to blend. Add remaining ingredients and toss together.

It’s so simple and you can servce it immediately or stored it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Get tuning! LOL

Hello everyone! Have some Parmesan Tomotoes!

Oooo…looks like I’m blogging then! I’m going to get started right away .

OK, I’m going to kick things off by sharing one of my favourites weight-loss recipes: Parmesan Tomatoes. Yummy! Here goes…

Ingredients:

1 medium tomato
1oz fat free mozzarella cheese
2Tbls grated parmesan cheese
2tbs bacon bits (Hormel low sodium (real bacon bits) or Oscar Meyer)
Optional
Pinch of black pepper or any other spice of your choice. A little garlic is nice.

Cut a hole on top of the tomato large enough to fit in a spoon. Dig out the insides of the tomato and put in a bowl. Combine the tomato, parmesan cheese and bacon bits and mix well. Place the shell of the tomato on a baking sheet. Return the mix to the tomato. Place the mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato and put into the oven. Remove the tomato when the cheese has melted or a little brown.

That’s it! It tastes great, and doesn’t feel like a weight-loss recipe at all. Let me know in the comments how you liked it!
