Regain Normal Weight Without Dieting

Weight loss is simply a matter of eating less.

"Diets" were created by for-profit companies like WW and by book authors at
the expense of overweight people. They all promote lifelong subscription
plans. There are as many diet plans as entrepreneurs. Diet plans are about
making money.

WW cleverly takes this a step further by promoting membership in a "club"
atmosphere where overweight people become emotionally dependent on "help"
from others like them. Be honest - What can an overweight person learn
about losing weight from another overweight person? Nothing. But WW makes
a lot of money helping folks become emotionally dependent on others like
them who follow a "system" that encourages people to crave fattening foods
as "treats," and thus remain overweight.

Many on this NG have been WW members for years, are still overweight and are
still counting "points". And WW keeps counting their money.

Curing gluttony is no different from breaking dependence on alcohol or
drugs. You simply stop ingesting the wrong stuff. It has nothing to do
with complicated groups, points, or emotional support networks. You just
stop.

Not simple, you think? Yes, actually, it is. Make a mental adjustment and
think of high-calorie, nil-nutrition junk as poisonous. Which it is. When
you truly accept that, willpower will become irrelevant - you won't even
consider eating junk food. For the first time you'll understand that
struggling with points just so you can have junk food "treats" is absurd.
The simplicity of regaining normal weight is obvious.

Millions of people have regained normal weight, stopped smoking and cured
addictions by making cold-turkey attitude changes. But almost nobody has
ever done this on a WW-like lifelong point counting plan that encourages
treats.

Yes, this is all about the right attitude. For examples of the wrong
attitude read the emotional outbursts below from the chronically fat for
whom there is no hope.

POINTS® value | 8
Servings | 4
Preparation Time | 25 min
Cooking Time | 10 min
Level of Difficulty | Easy

main meals | Ripe beefsteak tomatoes add great flavor to this
unusually delicious, Sicilian sauce. Fresh tuna or halibut may be
substituted for the swordfish if you prefer.

Ingredients



2 large tomato(es), beefsteak, cut into chunks (about 1 1/4 lbs)
1 cup parsley, fresh, leaves
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
2 medium garlic clove(s)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp table salt, divided
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, divided
1 1/4 pound swordfish fillet(s), about 1-inch thick, cut into 24 chunks
1 medium yellow pepper(s), cut into 24 chunks
1 medium red onion(s), cut into 6 wedges and each wedge cut in half
1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise and then cut crosswise 6 times
2 cup cooked couscous, whole-wheat variety, kept hot


Instructions



1.. Preheat grill or grill pan.


2.. To make sauce, place tomatoes, parsley, 1 tablespoon of oil, garlic,
oregano and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a food processor;
pulse
until tomato is finely chopped and set aside.


3.. Thread 2 pieces each of swordfish and yellow pepper, and 1 piece
each
of onion and zucchini onto each of twelve 8-inch metal skewers. (Note: If
you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water 30 minutes before use to
prevent charring.) Brush kabobs with remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and
sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.


4.. Grill skewers, turning as needed, until lightly charred and fish is
just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Yields 3 kabobs, 1/2 cup of

Mad rant snipped

Join Weight Watchers! Learn how to lose pounds the easy and sensible
way, and enjoy meals like this:

Steamed Chinese style salmon with vegetables

For 4 people:

For each person you will need a 150g salmon fillet and a portion of Amoy
Straight to Wok noodles or similar, plus, for the whole dish:

a red pepper
a small courgette
about 200g bean shoots
a carrot
a stick of celery
a red onion
a chunk of stem ginger in syrup

Slice all the vegetables finely. Spread the noodles out in a glass
dish, with the veg on top. Place the salmon on top of that.

For the sauce:
a teaspoon of Chinese 5 spice powder
a teaspoon of the ginger syrup
a tablespoon of soy sauce
a tablespoon of tomato purée
a teaspoon of sesame oil

Place all these in a teacup and combine fully: fill the cup to the top
with water, and pour the sauce over the fish. Cover and microwave on
'Bake' (70% on my 600w m/w oven. YMMV) for 15 minutes.

6.5 UK WW points per portion!

For dessert: Fruit ices!

1 small mango
150g strawberries
1 banana
2 nectarines
glass fresh orange juice

Blitz the whole lot to a purée and pour into a plastic ring mould.
freeze. Serve with half fat creme fresh, for about 3 points each
(though the fruit ice could serve six rather than four... )

How's that for a healthy and balanced meal? Not too generous on the
carbs, protein, low fat, and about 3 portions of fruit and veg in one
meal! And a little luxury at the end of the day, all for minimum effort.

Both recipes are my own invention.
