Two questions
1. Is there a non-fat butter type spread? If so, what is its brand name? I
can't find anything locally except 'Lite' which is too high. In this line how does one stir fry without oil? I suppose I could waste a point for a tps of oil (peanut) but I would rather hoard points. 2. I understand that a boiled spud is better for a WW dieter than a 'nuked' spud. Is this true? I weigh my raw spud and then nuke it. It usually loses about 10 percent weight after nuking. I then take the 'nuked' spud and divide it so there are no parts more than 4 ozs. I figure this is about the 3 point area. Am I correct? I would be willing to pressure cook a whole batch of spuds and use them this way. Would this be better? Whatever I'm doing it is working. Thank God. |

Use one of your required healthy oils (peanut is NOT on the list). If the oil in your diet goes too low, your hair may get brittle and fall out, your nails may get brittle, your bowel movements may be poor, and your skin may be dry and inelastic (i.e. won't shrink well as you lose weight). 2.

No there is no difference between a nuked spud or a boiled one. It's about how much potato you eat. |

"pintlar" wrote in message ... 1. Is there a non-fat butter type spread? If so, what is its brand name? I can't find anything locally except 'Lite' which is too high. None that I would want to eat anyway.. In this line how does one stir fry without oil? I suppose I could waste a point for a tps of oil (peanut) but I would rather hoard points. 1- you are supposed to eat 2 tsp of healthy oil every day... no fat at all is not a good idea. 2- You can use a non-stick pan, and use either cooking spray or broth.. broth doesn't bring great results in my opinion.. 2. I understand that a boiled spud is better for a WW dieter than a 'nuked' spud. Is this true? Not really.. a potato is a potato. It's healthy in moderation.. I weigh my raw spud and then nuke it. It usually loses about 10 percent weight after nuking. I then take the 'nuked' spud and divide it so there are no parts more than 4 ozs. I figure this is about the 3 point area. Am I correct? I would be willing to pressure cook a whole batch of spuds and use them this way. Would this be better? You mean cook the hell out of them? then any nutrition is cooked out of them, so you're wasting your calories anyway. Whatever I'm doing it is working. Thank God. Make sure that it works long term... losing weight is only half of the battle, if even that much. Do to lose weight something you can do for the rest of your life... if not, you're wasting your time.

This was during a totally fat free period. I use fat free salad dressing & pepper on the spud. I have had some symtoms though. I have experienced faintness a few times (this was during zero fats). Incidentally, I was previous (2 weeks) on a zero sodium diet (my decision). Now I'm relaxing the sodium restriction, hoping the weight loss compensates for the hypertension. Also, I think my ears are starting to grow, and my nose is starting to twitch. Temptation has struck. My neighbor brought over a plate full of a Croatian dish called 'preznats' (sp?). No cube is over 3 oz but it has to be 80 % fat.....so I have my fat ration for 12 days on that plate. Thank God some fat is good for you. That dish is delicous and one hell of a temptation. Nice thing about this diet is that I am never really starving and a mouthful of celery (pepper & ff salad dressing) seems to satisfy for quite a while. Thanks for your imput. It will surely help....pintlar ps. I'm a really really old fart. |

It's Easter: I had a little chocolate from my son and husband's Lint Bunny and Tornton's easter eggs, but no egg or bun of my own, so I won't be pigging as those are THEIR treats, and therefore no temptation. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |
