The Biggest Loser Club: Eat to Lose

partner



No, you don't have to haul out the food scale or measuring cup to get a pretty accurate read of an appropriate portion size. The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper tells you how to take portion sizes in hand in this video:






Below is a Biggest Loser recipe for the "Almost Fast-Food Burger":

1 Tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
1/2 tsp ketchup
1/2 tsp yellow mustard
1/4 lb 96% lean ground beef
1 slice (3/4 oz) fat-free American cheese (optional)
1 whole grain or whole wheat hamburger bun
1/4 cup chopped romaine lettuce
1 thin slice red onion
3 dill pickle rounds

1. In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir to mix. Set aside. Shape beef into a patty that is about 1/2" wider than the bun.

2. Preheat medium nonstick skillet or grill rack on high heat. Place patty in skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. (Do not press burger with spatula.) About 30 seconds before burger is cooked, top with cheese, if desired.

3. Place bun halves, cut sides down, in pan. Cook for about 45 seconds, or until toasted.

4. Place bun bottom on serving plate. Top with patty, lettuce, onion, and pickles. Spread reserved sauce over inside of bun top. Flip onto burger. Serve immediately.

    Though it is quite easy to maintain a healthy intake of food types, the greater struggle for me is actually finding these foods, particularly being vegan. I would welcome suggestions outside of taking one's own lunch to the office, drinking water or tea at seminars conferences etc.

    This is a great tip because most people think that they cannot eat burgers, pizza, etc...and have a healthy intake nutrition and calorie wise. You really can modify about anything and eat sensibly ...yet still maintain or obtain a healthier weight. By the way, Bob seriously is the best ;) jenna www.jennavaught.com
