Send your valentine a sweet treat
Hi, Everyone –
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, so if you are still trying to figure out what you should get for your sweetheart, try an old standby – chocolate. Not only will he or she appreciate your sweetness, it can be good for health as well!
According to the University of Texas Cancer Prevention Center, dark chocolate can actually fight off cancer. Antioxidants in the chocolate can help fend-off cell damage that can cause tumors to grow. Off course, it goes without saying that moderation is key. You can treat yourself and your loved one without derailing your progress this year. So get some chocolate, grab your Valentine and have a great weekend!

Going on safari this holiday season?
Hi, Everyone –
Navigating holiday parties is like being on safari – and not in a good way. At every turn, there is something lurking, waiting to jump out at you. But in this case, it’s not a lion or panther, it’s cheese dip and cookies. One of the most popular “party tricks” is to eat before you go to holiday parties to make sure you don’t overindulge, but that is assuming that you are only going to eat if you are hungry, which isn’t always the case.
It can be difficult to say “no thank you” when you are trying to relax and partake in some holiday cheer, but there is still hope! Whether you are hosting the party, or just bringing an a la carte dish to another, you can at least make sure your holiday dish is healthy. That way, you know there will be at least one thing you can snack on without feeling guilty. Check out the recipe below from MedicineNet.com for a healthy, delicious spinach dip.
Best Spinach Dip Recipe
This is a light rendition of that colorful and tasty party staple, the spinach-dip-stuffed sourdough round. You can make the dip and carve out the sourdough round a day ahead of time. Keep the bread in extra-large resealable bag and the dip, covered, in the refrigerator. Then fill the bread “bowl” with dip just before the party. (If you like, skip the bread bowl and serve with slices of whole-wheat sourdough or French bread, or with whole-grain trackers
Ingredients:
• 1/3 cup real mayonnaise
• 2 1/3 cup fat-free or light sour cream (whichever brand you find tastes best)
• 1 box dry leek soup mix or vegetable soup mix (1.8 ounce)
• 1 cup finely chopped jicama
• 10 ounce package frozen, chopped spinach (thaw, drain, and squeeze out excess water)
• 1 pound round loaf of sourdough bread (or similar type)
Preparation:
In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, leek soup mix, jicama, and chopped spinach. Chill in the refrigerator 6 hours or overnight. Remove top and interior of sourdough bread round, making a bowl. Fill with spinach mixture. Cut the carved-out bread top into bite-sized cubes for dipping. Serve the spinach dip-filled bread bowl with the bread cubes.
Yield:
Makes 1 bread bowl (about 16 appetizer servings, 1/3 cup of dip each).

The Dangers of Thanksgiving
Hi, Everyone –
Thanksgiving is generally the one day of the year where it is considered completely acceptable to eat until you are about ready to explode and then pass out on the couch watching football. Well, self control aside, you can make slight variations to your favorite Thanksgiving recipes so they are healthier and still delicious. Check out these recipes on EatingWell.com for some great turkey day tips!

Satiety and weight-loss
Hi, Everyone –
There is a big trend in weight-loss right now toward products that help you curb your hunger. These satiety-focused products can really be an excellent tool when combined with healthy eating and exercise. As you may know, I actually invented one of these products and it appeared in a satiety story this weekend on CBS 4 in Denver. Check it out here.
What do you think about satiety products? Have you tried any? Do they work for you?
