2 Easy and Super Fast Recipes…Breakfast and Dinner
As many of you have heard me say before, I love to be a mad scientist in the kitchen. When healthy eating is your way of life, you’ve got to keep your meals new and interesting which is why I love to experiment with new recipes all the time, making them (of course) Diet Solution approved.
Today from the “mad scientist” kitchen of Isabel, I have these two recipes for you:
The first recipe is something my husband still likes to make fun of me for. He says it’s “too weird” and “looks gross”…but you know what? I love it! It’s my own creation (at least I think so).
Can you sleep your Fat Away?
Ever wake up in the morning and wish you could sleep just a bit more? (This girl is kidding me right?)
I hear ya. I’ve been totally sleep deprived, and I know you can relate.
Let me tell you about a friend’s wedding I went to in Wichita Kansas.
let’s meet for coffee
The Ugly Side of Caffeine
Most coffee and tea contains a lot of caffeine. This is usually the primary reason people make coffee their drink of choice in the morning. Caffeine is a drug like any other and comes with a long list of side effects. Have you ever tried not having your coffee in the morning? Yeah, pass the Excedrin, right? The headache that comes on when you try and kick this habit can be brutal (just like with other drugs) and creating a dependency and addiction like this is harmful to the body.

How to combat a Nasty Sweet Tooth
I can’t tell you how many times each week I get the same email. “Isabel, I am doing great on your plan, but every once in a while, I’m still craving sweets!”
I am no different. I especially remember when I was pregnant, not only was I a bit more tired, I also craved sweet foods a lot more than I ever had before (my baby must take after my husband in that department).
Add some Cheese to that meal!
What kind of fat is in cheese?
The kind of fat in a particular cheese will be completely dependent on the source of that cheese. Just as the quality of our milk is only as good as the cow it came from, the same rule goes for cheese.
Are you suffering from Portion Distortion?
A couple years ago I was definitely suffering from a condition that is not too commonly discussed, but does very often appear in many restaurants, parties and homes all over the world. Yes, you too may be suffering from this horrible condition and not even know it. What is this awful plague? It’s called: Portion Distortion, and it just may be what is holding you back from reaching your weight loss goals.
Can you really survive at a restaurant?
If you are anything like me and 90% of most people, we all have one thing in common: we are always on the go! I know myself, my busy lifestyle and my traveling schedule sometimes requires me to surrender to a whole lot of restaurant eating and finding healthy options outside my own refrigerator.
But sometimes this is easier said than done. Lewis, I know you can relate.
here’s how to Stop Feeling Hungry.
There is absolutely nothing worse than being hungry (well, being tired, sick, and stressed are all pretty up there), but hunger just takes the cake – no pun intended 
Just a short time ago I had my business partner Jeff over for dinner. We had a delicious healthy meal, all cooked by yours truly (with a little help from my husband).

I think it’s so funny that many people associate healthy eating with torture.
Last summer I was at my father’s company barbecue. As he introduced me to his fellow co-workers, I must have heard at least a million times “Oh, you’re the nutritionist? Well, I want to enjoy my life so I just eat whatever I want.” By the time I got to the third person that made this statement, I just figured I should start telling people I was the inventor of the Hostess cupcake and maybe they would like me better.
I do think if you eat bland, boring and tasteless food every day, yes, that can be torture. Just as feeding someone unhealthy fast food could be considered a form of torture in itself (or slow murder, however you want to define it).

2 Essential Secrets for Taking the Weight Off.
I’ve tried weight watchers on my own, anything that was in the frozen section that was low in fat for losing weight, a high protein diet, Tom Venuto’s meal plan (too much food) I’m sure it works for bodybuilders but that was an era in my life that is long gone. I just wanted a realistic approach to diet and exercise. I tried special offers on the internet, I don’t recall the names. I read a ton of stuff until I ran into Isabel through Mommy Abs Makeover teleseminar. I signed up even though I wasn’t a mom. I wanted to be prepared when I did become one. (And if you’ve seen Isabel pregnant she looks super adorable!) (Oh, you’re too kind.)
Want a Drink?
And no I don’t mean a cocktail at dinner…
I’m talking about the high sugar, high fructose corn syrup, caramel colored, frappa something, mocha something drinks that most people are drinking all day long. This has to be one of the top reasons most people have such a hard time reaching and maintaining their ideal weight or battling chronic fatigue and other health concerns: They are drinking tons of sugar without even knowing it!
Let’s look at some of the culprits:
Is your Diet Coke making you Fat? + Free diet e-course.
“Isabel. It seems that there are no definite studies that prove, hands down, that artificial sweeteners can be hazardous to our health. Do you still recommend we stay away from them?”
Here’s how to combat Diet Disasters
People often think that in order to reach their Fat Loss goals they have to be perfect all the time. Not true.
Do you think I never “fall off the wagon”?
…Like the brownies at the last party I went to holding me hostage in one corner of the room, rendering me completely helpless with no emergency organic carrots in sight.
When is it OK to eat Sugar?
One of two things happens when you even mention the word Sugar…people either jump up for joy, salivating for their next sugar fix or they go running in the opposite direction and avoid it like the plague (Hmm Lewis, which one are you?)
The sugar lovers, well, they just love their sugar and would probably sprinkle it on broccoli if that was socially acceptable. While others are so afraid of it they are even scared to eat foods like bananas, carrots and onions because of their high sugar content..huh?
I blew it on my Diet…Now What?
Do you think I never “fall off the wagon”? Like the brownies at the holiday party holding me hostage in one corner of the room, rendering me completely helpless with no emergency organic carrots in sight. Yes, yes, that was me…..
I get this email from clients all the time, “Isabel, I totally blew it on my diet last night. Now what do I do?” Yup, I’ve been there: bloated, disappointed, and feeling a bit defeated.
