Slimming Bites: Links to Helpful Articles & Recipes for Weight Watchers
The internet is such a wealth of helpful information and delicious recipes for Weight Watchers and others pursuing sensible weight loss and healthy balanced living.
I love sharing my favorite discoveries with you here.
Enjoy!
‘Diet’ products can make you fat, study shows – If you’ve questioned why sugar is so expensive on Weight Watchers SmartPoints Program, you’ll want to read this.
Researchers found that rats fed a diet high in sugar but low in fat — meant to imitate many popular diet foods — increased body fat mass when compared to rats fed a balanced rodent diet.
The high-sugar diet induced a host of other problems, including liver damage and brain inflammation. (ScienceDaily)
10 Reasons I Love Weight Watchers — Alexis, a Weight Watchers Ambassador who has lost 115 pounds and kept it off over the past 2+ years, talks about the advantages of Weight Watchers over other weight loss programs.
As a fellow WW and active lifetime member, I agree with every one of her points. (Organize Yourself Skinny)
Cheesy Italian Cauliflower Bake — A Weight Watchers friendly, gluten-free, low carb alternative to baked pasta with just SmarPoints from Alisha – I can’t wait to try. (Meal Planning Mommies)
Healthy Greek Nachos — Like Kristen, I can see these becoming a staple in our house this summer as the weather is heating up and I naturally turn to recipes that are more fresh and light. Make them vegetarian by skipping the chicken and using either hummus or chickpeas instead. (Slender Kitchen)

AIR FRYER GIVEAWAY DETAILS…
We are giving away the Cozyna Air Fryer (Original 3.2L), recommended by Hungry Girl who said…
If you love the taste of fried food but not excess calories and fat, this appliance delivers. Here at Hungryland, we’ve gotten pretty good at re-creating fried food sans guilt with our own “faux-fry” oven method. But I’ve gotta say, the recipes we tried in our air fryer came out even crispier. It gets better: We tried them with and without a small amount of oil (per the air fryer instructions) and found that NO added oil is needed to achieve that crispy finish.
It’s NOT a uni-tasker. I’d hesitate to recommend splurging on a kitchen gadget that can only do one thing. So I was pretty happy to learn that our air fryer can also bake, grill, and roast. I’m talking meatballs, steak… even muffins and cake! The manual includes a comprehensive chart with foods, temps, and times, which I LOVE.
It’s a time saver! My oven takes around 10 minutes to pre-heat, but an air fryer takes only about 3 minutes. Plus, some recipes cook WAY faster in an air fryer… My butternut squash fries were air-fryer ready in just 12 minutes, versus the 35 minutes they take in the oven!
Clean-up is a breeze. No messy pans or oily skillets. You can toss the fryer pan and the basket right into the dishwasher when you’re done with ’em.
The built-in timer has an auto switch-off feature to keep the absent-minded chef in check. Have you ever gotten distracted while something was in the oven and returned to burnt food? Our air fryer’s self-timer turns off the unit when time is up!

The biggest aha for me is tracking! If I get a pound or two over and start tracking carefully, the weight will come off. It makes you so conscious of what you are putting in your mouth and if you really want and need it.
Definitely portion control and healthy snacks!
My biggest aha moment is learning how to use portion control and sharing with other people as they have the same issues as I do and they help me.
My AHA moment is writing everything down.
I ask for a doggie bag when I am served my meal. I divide my meal into two parts……one for doggie bag and one to eat. It helps me to avoid nibbling on my meal after I am not longer hungry (sometimes I divide the meal in 1/3 to eat and 2/3 to take home in the restaurants that supersize everything).
Meal planning is the only way I can be successful on the scale. Taking into consideration what events, meetings, activities we have for the week and trying to plan quick, healthy meals accordingly is KEY!
To stick with it. First time I gained. .4, I knew I hadn’t done anything off plan. So I stuck to it and lost 2.2 the next week!!
My moment was choosing whether I wanted to loose weight or was I committed to loosing weight . a big difference between the two.
My AHA moment was when I reached 50 lbs lost…I am truly doing it…I am happier, feeling energized and healthier. When I turned 70 I decided this was my time!!!. Would love to eat fried food again… The best moment was when my 43 year old son wrote me a note on my birthday praising me for my efforts and how glad they were that I was getting healthy and they would have me around for many more years.
The biggest thing I’ve learned was how easy it can be to find my favorite recipes in a WW version. As a picky eater, that has helped me so so much!
