hotgurl Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Traditional hummus is low fat. I make hummus all the time: * Can of garbanzos, drained (save liquid) * 2-3 cloves garlic, minced * 1 teaspoon cumin powder * 1 tablespoon tahini (peanut butter works too) * Juice of 1 lemon Whirl in blender or food processor until very smooth, adding the bean liquid as needed to get a good blend going and make a smooth dip texture. Can be used as a dip for carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, radishes, crackers, baked pita triangles etc. Can also be eaten with a spoon! I use the same recipe but I add cilantro when I have. Yum I love hummus. Have you ever tried different flavor? Like artichoke or olives? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hotgurl Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 black bean salad. 2 cans black beans 1 can cor 2 cans diced tomatoes. 1 small onion 1-2 scallions. 1/4 feta hot sauce to taste salt to taste fresh cilantro. 1/3 cu olive oil 1/4 cu red wine vinegar. drain and rinse the beans, tomatoes and corn. Chop the onions and scallions mix in a bowl with the feta, hot sauce chopped cilantro and salt. Make a vinaigrette by whisking the olive oil and vinegar together put over the other ingredients stir and serve. I personally use less vinaigrette. Use just enough to coat salad and save the rest. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
hotgurl Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 paneer saag is also good. Saag Paneer: Spinach with Indian Cheese Recipe : Aarti Sequeira : Food Network It is time consuming but good. Recently we tried vegetarian food, didn't lose any weight. The Other poster is right the easy default is to eat more carb rich foods. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
melodymatters Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Roasting pretty much any vegetable makes it crunchy and snack like. Asparagus, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, etc. Cut to the appropriate size ( I slice sweet potatoes, halve brussel sprouts, cauliflower bite size pieces) toss with just enough olive oil to coat, salt, pepper, garlic powder. I also use cajun on some veggies, use whatever you like, curry powder, cumin etc. Put on a baking sheet at 400, toss or flip once and depending on the veg, in 10-20 mins you will have a flavorful, textured treat with only the olive oil adding any fat at all. Quick and easy too ! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Although I cannot give up sweets, and cheese, even though I still don't have a lot of that stuff, but I keep them in my diet. its odd eh? that we just woke up and disliked meat.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
