botchy

So who's got some really good low calorie ideas? I've munched some celery this afternoon and it's a negative calorie food!! Meaning you burn more eating and digesting it than you get from it. I hope I'm not misinformed on this. I've just learned also that artichokes have mega protein in them and that they are only about 60 cal!! Course I like to dip the leaves in butter so there's that to add....

What else?

Just went to Henry's and got some sliced deli Havarti cheese, sliced herb & garlic turkey breast - rolled them up and dipped it in some chipotle lime dip. NUMMY! Most days I can't eat much so when I do - I try to make it something REALLY good.

As for other lo-cal goodies - cantaloupe is super good and when I just want something sweet - Diet Snapple flavored iced-tea. Man - that stuff rocks!

Your right about the celery thing Botchy, I started a thread about it here somewhere.... also apples. One small apple has 1/2 days worth of fiber which will assist with regulating insulin levels=less cravings and steady blood sugar and its full of antioxidants!

Steam the srtichokes with EVOO and garlic you will not miss the butter! Fennel is a good negative calorie food and yummy. Baby carrots, asparagus.
