Weight Release: A Liberating Journey
by Freeman MichaelsLearn to free yourself from the patterns that hold you back from a healthier life. Most weight &“loss&” programs focus on overeating and lack of exercise; very few of them address the underlying reason for weight issues. Weight issues are a result of unhealthy patterns of behavior and a negative self-image. The service-to-self process, taught in this book, focuses on reprogramming and healing old patterns of behavior to create a positive, lasting change in self-image—and weight release is a natural byproduct of this process. You&’ll learn about meeting needs versus denying them; reframing; leading with your strengths; supporting yourself with intentions and affirmations; and many other principles and techniques that can change not just your weight but your life.

Weight Watchers Around the World
by Weight Watchers InternationalYou'll find peanut butter in soup, cinnamon in a meat marinade, and pepper in cookies. As anyone who has tried to diet by limiting their palate can tell you, it's variety of flavors that makes eating healthfully easier and more enjoyable. And while you might associate ethnic food's exotic appeal with decadence, you'll find these dishes surprisingly good for you. That's because many cultures incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish into even the simplest of suppers. And in more populous-and often poorer-nations, meat is usually used as a flavoring while fiber-rich beans and grains steal the spotlight at the center of the plate. While the flavors of these recipes are complex, most of the recipes are easy. In fact, we've included many one-dish meals so dinner is convenient, not complicated. Plus, we suggest substitutions for harder-to-find ingredients. Don't make the mistake of thinking ethnic food should be served only to the people in your family who don't drink out of a sippy cup. You'll find plenty of American and ethnic dishes to please the booster-seat bunch in these pages. My 1 1/2-year-old loves the Canadian Apple Pancakes and Baked Garlic and Cheese Grits. It's easy exposing your little ones to another culture-serve Skewered Singapore Chicken and Pineapple or Plantain Chips from Puerto Rico. When you've got the time and the inclination, make an event of it. Put on some salsa music or even a polka. Have a Red Stripe beer with your Jamaican Jerk Pork Tenderloin or Chianti with your Spaghetti Alia Norma. You may even want to eat your Pad Thai with chopsticks.

Weight Watchers Cook Quick Cook Healthy
by Oxmoor HouseSet Up Your Kitchen for Speed. 1. When you store kitchen equipment and ingredients where you use them and in the same place every time, you won't lose time searching for what you need. Keep potholders, wooden spoons, pots, pans, and baking sheets as close to the oven and range as possible. Store flour, spices, mixing bowls, an electric mixer, rubber spatulas, and measuring cups and spoons near where you mix. The best place for a cutting board and knives is near the sink. 2. Use Low-Fat Convenience Foods. Low-fat and nonfat products have improved in flavor and texture over the past few years. Our staff recommends all of the following: low-fat and nonfat cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheeses; Italian- style, Mexican-style, or roasted garlic- flavored canned tomatoes; low-fat spaghetti sauces; and flavored couscous or rice mixes. 3. Buy Food Prepped for Use. You'll get a jump start on any meal when you use shredded cabbage, packaged cut vegetables, cut vegetables from the salad bar, prewashed spinach, precooked pasta, parboiled rice, shredded cheese, chicken strips or cubes, and trimmed and boned meat. You'll pay a bit extra for these convenience items, but it's worth it when you need to cook in a hurry.
