VB6

Have you heard of VB6 ? I do not mean Visual Basic 6. VB 6 means vegan before 6. It is an eating lifestyle, not a diet, where you eat vegan before 6 pm every day. You avoid processed foods..no junk food.. No sugar, white flour..etc..before 6 pm. Mark Bittman has two books out on it. The recipes are delicious...you will not miss meat and dairy.... Really... What is nice about VB6 is the sensible approach.. Moderation. You can switch it up and have breakfast be your after 6 meal..just skip meat and dairy with dinner.

So far I have tried Sweet Green Quinoa Salad...fantastic.

Peas and Carrots Salad, and homemade whole wheat bread... I plan on making more... They are all wonderful...filling such that you will forget about missing meat and cheese.

 

Not only is this eating change good for you but it also helps the planet!

Low Calorie chocolate muffin

This recipe is delicious!

1/4 Cup ground flax seed
2 tablespoons Cocoa
1/4 teas baking powder
3 tablespoons Spenda or Stevia
3 Tablespoons egg whites
2 tablespoons water

Mix well in coffee mug and microwave 1 minute.     Dump onto plate and enjoy.
About 120 calories.    If you omit chocolate about 100 calories.  If you want to use sugar' sugar is about 48 calories a tablespoon.... I would try it without the cocoa and with only 2 tablespoons of sugar..this would give you a plain muffin of about 95+96 191 calories still a good breakfast option!

Food Review: Veggie Egg English Muffin by Lean cuisine

The veggie egg white English Muffin by Lean Cuisine is awsome!   It tastes great and has less than 200 calories.   To cook it, I take off the cheese and microwave egg and muffin for one minute.  Put muffin in toaster for light toasting.  Put cheese on egg and microwave for 20-30'seconds.   It's a little bit more work but I get a nice slightly crunchy breakfast sandwich!

Lower Calorie Potato Chip Replacement.

I love potato chips. But they are really high calorie. Cheese-its has these great 100 calorie packs. I love the snack mix version. It tastes just as salty as chips and it comes in a nice portion control size. I save them for when I cannot fight off the potato chip urge.
