The Fat Smash Diet – Healthy Lifestyle

If you have been following my blog, you already know that I am very impressed with The Fat Smash Diet, and I love following all the phases at least once every year, with gratifying results.

Of course, before making this decision, you should consult with your Primary Care Physician to be assured that your medications and pre-existing conditions will allow you to make these lifestyle changes.

Some people feel it is too harsh (no coffee or alcohol for 9 days), but it works for me.

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.

Orange Chicken with Broccoli – Weight Watchers Recipe

Since many Weight Watchers recipes are suitable for Phase III of the Fat Smash Diet, I am sharing some of the ones I  tested and loved.

Today’s post for the Orange Chicken with Broccoli is also a very lean dish, delicious and simple to prepare.

Texas Caviar – Super Bowl Party Vinaigrette

This is a very simple, light, refreshing, and colorful vegetarian salad perfect for a light lunch, afternoon snack, or to share at a party, barbecue, or any fun gathering.

Easy Garlic Bread – Recipe

I used to purchase frozen Garlic Bread, or even the fresh one in the bakery section of my grocery store.
However, once I tried making it at home, I was sold on it, and it became my favorite accompaniment with pasta dishes or tossed salads.
It is simple to make, since you use ready-made French Baguette or Italian Bread.
