Savor The Savory...

Members Were Sparked

I work many overnight shifts alone. Often I crave something savory (chips, etc). Sometimes, instead of giving in, I will mix up some salt, ground pepper, garlic salt - whatever - and just have a few small tastes of that. It satisfies my craving without the calories.

Make Typically Sweet Dishes Savoury

For instance, oatmeal doesn't need to be sweet. Savor it with savory additions: lean ground meat, spices, veggies, eggs, soy sauce: treat it like rice! I start out many of my days with savory foods because I'm less likely to eat for pleasure if the food isn't sweet.

"Real Food Has Curves" by Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough

The subtitle is "How to Get Off Processed Food, Lose Weight and Love What You Eat." The authors' premise is that chemicals in our brain expect real food when we eat. When we eat processed and fake food, our brain prompts us to eat more in hopes of getting real food.
Lots of good information on buying oils, cheeses and using herbs and spices in place of salt and sugar. Easy, non-intimidating recipes as well.

MORE INFORMATION:
From the flyleaf "...seven-step journey to rediscover the basic pleasure of fresh, well-prepared natural ingredients: curvy, voluptuous, juicy, sweet savory.
