Construction – Phase Three – The Fat Smash Diet
Super job!!!!
We just completed Phase II of the Fat Smash Diet and are about to begin Phase III, the Construction Phase.
We have been doing so well with all the fruits and vegetables, and controlled food portions, so in this phase it is time for some rewards. Enjoy some of the SWEETS we have been avoiding. However, we still need to keep in mind the portion size. Instead of eating 5 cookies we should allow ourselves only 2-3.
Homemade Tzatziki Dip – Vegetarian Recipe

Chickpeas Vinaigrette – Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe
Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo Beans, are very high in protein. Thus, they are an excellent food choice for vegetarians/vegans and all other healthy eaters.
Vinaigrette salads are much lower in calories and healthier to incorporate into our everyday eating habits, unlike those with mayonnaise. This chickpea vinaigrette salad has the perfect combination of ingredients and is so delicious.
It is effortless to assemble, and holds well refrigerated for several days. It is perfect for any occasion, such as party food, a light lunch, or a healthful snack.
