WITHOUT GUILT HAM AND CHEESE OR CHOCOLATE (CONSOLIDATION) CROISSANTS

3 large eggs
1 pinch of cream of tartar
1/2 t of Splenda
3 ounces without fat or low fat cream cheese
6 slices of low fat ham
1 cup free fat, shredded cheddar
OR
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 300.

Croissants

Separate the eggs and add sweetener yolks, a pinch of salt and cheese to cream. Use a mixer to combine all ingredients.  In another bowl, whisk whites egg and cream of tartar until stiff (if you use the same mixer, mix the whites first, then the egg yolks mixture) the egg white mixture must be very rigid.  Using a spatula, fold little by little the mixture of eggs in the mixture of white egg yolk, taking care not to unseat white.  Spray a non-stick cookie plate and spoon half of the mixture on the sheet, make 6 mounds. Top each mound with ham and cheese or chocolate and top each mound with an another spoonful of the egg white mixture.  Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Crescent chocolate

Obviously those chocolate is allowed only on the Consolidation.  You can add a little more sweetener to the mix, as well.  They are delicious, and seriously, I think that you can eat them without guilt.  A small dark chocolate is good for you!

Lose Weight Fast and Easy Without Pills

If you are trying to lose weight fast and easy without pills, read this article for some ideas and tricks.

With all you hear and read in the media about weight loss pills, you may be concerned that these pills aren't safe or that they don't work. You can lose weight fast and easy without pills. Choosing to lose weight without pills will save you money, you will avoid any side effects that pills may create and ensure that you don't rely on pills to maintain your new slimmer body.

I will outline a few basic diet plans that will help you lose weight fast and easy without pills. Different strategies tend to work better for different people but all three of these diets have proven to be very effective for dramatic and fast weight loss. More info on all three with detailed plans can be found on my blog.

A Master Cleanse or Lemonade diet is a popular way to lose weight fast and easy without pills. Limiting your intake to a basic lemonade recipe of lemons, water with maple syrup and cayenne pepper, you cleanse your body of toxins, excess weight and jump-start your dieting. The lemonade diet requires discipline but most people report that they feel renewed focus and clarity as they are on the diet after getting through the first day or two. Most people continue the Master cleanse for 3-10 days and see significant weight loss. Celebrities have used this diet to prepare for film roles or red carpet appearances when they want to lose 10-20 pounds quickly.

Another option to lose weight fast and easy without pills is the HCG Diet. The HCG diet has fans around the world because of its dramatic results when nothing else has worked. Many people who try the HCG diet feel like they have tried everything and are about to give up hope. The HCG diet comes to the rescue and helps to reset your metabolism so your body begins to burn fat as it should making it possible to maintain your weight loss even after you stop the diet. The HCG diet is not an easy one but people lose on average 1-2 pounds per DAY - a pretty amazing feat, and this without exercise. This diet can be continued as long as necessary to get to your goal weight.

The Cabbage Soup Diet is an old diet that has stuck around as a quick way to lose weight fast and easy without pills. The diet involves eating unlimited quantities of a basic cabbage soup recipe and along with unlimited quantities of limited items on each day of the diet. The diet isn't a long term strategy and should only be done for a week at a time with 2 weeks break in between. People like the quick results that the cabbage soup diet gives and the fact that everything is laid out very specifically with little room for error. If you don't eat green vegetables or can't handle cabbage- this one probably isn't for you.

There are many other great strategies to lose weight fast and easy without pills. A great customized diet and exercise plan online from celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels is one great option. Consider a lifetime plan like the new Dukan Diet that attacks quick weight loss first and then gives you tools to maintain for life.
