You Can Eat Your Way to a Slimmer Healthier Body. No More Diets, Just Eat What You Want, With Proven Recipes for Good Health and Weight Loss

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Did you know that for the first time obesity statistics show that there are now more obese people than those who are overweight?

I know that our economy crisis prevents us to be a stay at home mom or dad.  We all have to work two and sometimes three jobs to make ends meet. Fast food, they say, is the culprit for so much weight gain.  Don’t you think it’s time to take the bull by the horns and do something about it?  Wouldn’t it make sense to cook, using a new concept?  What is this new concept?  It is merely cooking the food and baking the way you always did, but, using different products.  These products are simply substitutes for the High Fat and High Sugar products used for years. 

I have dedicated myself to creating recipes that are identical, in every way to the ones we consume now.  With the proper use of, sugar free honey, for instance,you can eliminate any brown sugar from your recipe.  No taste change.  No aftertaste.  Cookies flatten properly during the baking process.  They smell delicious and taste even better.  There was a time, you had to refrigerate all sugar free baked goods, immediately.  If you did not, the goodies were stale within twenty four hours.  No longer is this necessary, except for food and cheesecake, for instance, which must be refrigerated anyway.

Along with my two cookbooks, “Theresa’s Solution to Smart Cooking” and Theresa’s Solution to Smart Baking” I have added a New cookbook, “Little Chef, Series #One, on my website  In my cooking school, I had the privilege to teach children from ages nine and up to teenage, the simple art of cooking.  This was when I realized how much help children could be to their hard working parents.  I also realized,  while  observing some of the kids, they were amazed at how much math, reading and comprension went into cooking. What a marvelous and exciting observation this was.  We all must eat, three meals a day to stay healthy. Why not gather up some trust, and allow your children to help with meals.  You and dad have too much to do and cooking is like doing an exciting craft for the kids.  If you could imagine the pride in their faces, when they cook something, and it tasts great and looks wonderful,  Some of the recipes in the Little Chef’s book, are planned around simplicity and no cleanup.  They simply prepare meals, using aluminum foil sheets, folded into a large bag ready for the oven when you get home.

Best of all, even these recipes are Low in Fat and Low in Sugar calories.  The snacks and candy recipes are perfect for you and the children to eat, without weight gain.  We must do something about the Obesitity crisis, not only for you, but your children are in for a world of medical disasters if you don’t help yourself and them to reverse obesity. 

If you, or your children want to talk to me, go to my Forum at www.theresasolution.net.  Ask me anything regarding food or your diet.  I will be happy to answer your questions.  This crisis is too serious to ignore.

The Tangy Lemon Bars take a little more time but they are worth it and they freeze well for future use.
