I’m starting the Extreme Fat Smash Diet
Like the title says, it’s pretty extreme, so no yummy recipes to share until I get to maintenance (the book has 45 of them and the website has more). But I’m still on the lookout for great, low fat, low calorie, healthy dishes from Weight Watchers and other sources. Here’s one for USA Weekend:
Yogurt Vegetable Salad
This cool Mediterranean salad features yogurt, which helps suppress blood sugar spikes and provides immune boosters. The vegetables supply a variety of disease-fighting antioxidants.
- 2 cups non-fat plain yogurt
- 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, finely chopped
- 3 Tbs. finely chopped fresh mint leaves, plus extra leaves for garnish
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup chickpeas, drained
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, stir yogurt, cucumber, mint and salt.
- Add chickpeas and tomatoes.
- Garnish with mint leaves.
- Refrigerate until serving. Serves 4.

This sounds delicious! I’m dieting as well so I really appreciate the healthy recipes.
How do you like the Celebrity Fit Club website? I’m thinking of joining since I really like Dr. Ian’s book and approach to eating (if you couldn’t tell from my blog LOL).
Thank you so much for the link to my blog, I have added you as well
