Morning Madness

Yay! Random bitza post for the week.

Got exams coming up (like me?) Check out foods that make you smarter. I'm doing cheesecake oats tomorrow :) Kinda like the first, just with added low-fat cream cheese. Hehehe...
Starting out? Ways to low-calorise your meals. If you're already in the midst of dieting you prolly know these.

Here's a tip - if you make overnight oats, dont add 1 tbsp of psyllium husk - way to much, turns to jelly, but it does make you VERY full!

And another. Instead of using breadcrumbs in your meatball/patty recipes try oat bran, and shape them really well with your hands so you can use less! I dont even use egg when I make kangaroo meat balls

Food porn of the week
Now I want you to pretend this CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE is low fat. Just pretend. Note, not posting up the link to the recipe... One day I'll try and lighten it but some things just canot be done.






Also just letting you know of the SERVICES i provide - if you ever need help lightening, (or heaving) or healthifying a recipe, just pop me an email and I'll be happy to help, if its possible :)

"It" word of the moment: Portion control (or portion distortion) You'll see it everywhere. Basically its about not being a pig and eating the amount of food you need not what you THINK you want. The size of "portions" have been increasing and also the amount we eat. may sound dumb, but I bet as a kid you were made to eat everything on your plate for the starving kids in africa. I agree - dont waste food, but that's why we have fridges! Or count out your portions properly. A serve of rice is just 1/2 c. So don't superszie you meals, eat sensible portions and be healthy!
