Starting your Wedding Weight loss
Bridezilla
Written By: Bridezilla
Okay so you have survived the holidays with you waistline…somewhat…intact. I’m sure that your wedding day is creeping up on you in much the same way mine is, but have no fear, we get down to our fighting weight together. First things first, ladies, check out your BMI (Body Mass Index), mine is 25.09, just over the being considered overweight. So here are some of my ideas, to lose those pesky extra pounds.
water
1) Aqua por favor: When you feel hungry consider having a glass of water first. When you make sure you get your 8 glasses a day you will find that your body may not want that Twinkie after all.
Think Before You Act2) Think about what you can eat. Find a healthy alternative to the snack foods you normally munch on. For example, between 3 and 4 in the afternoon I normally have a piece of candy. If I replace the candy with something healthier, like carrots, then I can still have my afternoon snack without blowing my diet.
Cupcake
3) Are you really hungry? I know that cake looks great, but are you really hungry.
4) Watch out for the snacks. It is so easy to watch TV and much on chips. Your just sitting and eating, and all of a sudden…the bag is empty. You and I both know were those chips went…your waistline.
Snacks
5) Never give up your favorite foods. The problem with many diets is that they ask you to give up some of your favorite foods. They key is moderation. I love cake…I mean love. So instead of making a whole cake or a tray of brownies, for my fiancé and I. I am going to hope down to Cupcake, a great little cupcake bakery in Charleston, and buy one cupcake, instead of baking a dozen.
Chips
6) Keep the snacks out of your house. If you only enjoy your sweet treat and snacks out of your house, then you will not have to worry about the temptation being around when you are board.
Hobbit
7) Eat like a Hobbit. If you eat lots of mini-meals you can keep hunger at bay. After all…who wouldn’t like second supper?
Carbs
8 ) Protein is better than carbs. Nuts, cheese, and beans are better for curbing your hunger than high carb foods.
9) Crank up the flavor. Spices and chilies stimulate your taste buds, so you will feel more satisfied faster.
carrots
10) Fill your kitchen with healthy foods. Grab some Boca, or grilled chicken strips, or veggies. You will want to snack, so make sure you have something to snack on. It is too easy to make a quick trip to McDonalds when you “just want a box of fries.”
Kids Meal
11) Order off the kids menu. Ignore the “12 and under” fine print, and order away. The smaller portions will make sure you don’t over eat, and the meal will be just as tasty.
asparagus
12) Eat only the finest. South Carolina is home to some really fantastic produce. If you shop the roadside stands and farmer’s markets, you will be sure to have the freshest produce. And you will be supporting your local farmers on top of that. The South Carolina Department of Agriculture Has a great directory of all the Roadside markets in South Carolina, and what they sell.
13) Reduce the amount of pasta you eat. Pasta, while tasty, is also very high in starch. You can save over 100 calories a meal, by leaving out the pasta.
14) Work out. I know many of you don’t want to hear it, but ladies you have to move to lose. Do Pilates, walk on the beach, run, it doesn’t really matter, as long as you make it a habit.

Spaghetti al limone... So easy to make, even I did it. Light, fruity with the perfect tartness from the lemon. Please see for yourself! p47koji.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/spaghetti-al-limone/
Uni Pasta:
- CA Purple Uni, Butter, Shizo Leaf, Chilli Peppers, Dry Pasta, Black Sesame.
I have made a few versions of Uni Pasta lately, but this version is my favorite. For an event like "Iron Chef America" i would use caviar instead of black sesame, though.
Spaghetti with browned butter, herbs, cheese and balsamic roasted broccolini. It was my first time cooking spaghetti in about two years and I think I'm going to start making a lot more pastas. They're so easy and dang, so inexpensive. Also, browned butter is the bomb.

Read another issue of Cook's Illustrated, or something, said for sauce to stick to pasta, finish the pasta in some sauce and add pasta water. It worked better than it looks, each bite of pasta was thoroughly coated in saucy sauce.

This was my huge mixed seafood pasta at Anton's Pasta Bar in Burnaby.
I couldn't finish it so I brought a doggie bag home and used the leftovers
to make a new dish.
Eric is saying that they even serve a bigger size for dinner.....

John and I both agree this is the best pasta ever. The sauce was super easy too.
Just throw some raw spinach into your food processor with some chopped onion, salt and chopped garlic. ( I did 2 batches cause it chops down to nothing) Stream in some extra virgin olive oil while processing. Then just mix into hot pasta. It warms up from the pasta.
I hate frozen spinach, never use frozen! It tastes like dirt to me. I don't really like it cooked either so it's perfect in here. Some lemon would be tasty added to this too and some nutritional yeast!
this was so good...i made the meatballs,but the sauce was bought.i unfortunately forgot the name of the brand,but it was a vegetable only sauce,with celery,carrot,zucchini,onions and tomato.
Another Homemade Fave!! I wasn't sure how it would go over with this being the first time I made this dish but my wife & kids inhaled it like they hadn't eaten in days... lol
