How to Keep the Weight Off During the Holidays, starting at Halloween and ending at New Years! Yikes! #Diet

Apple Crumble Diet

Omg, there are sooo many delicious things to eat during the holidays... even more than usual, right?  I'm not a big fan of not eating all those lovely things at Christmas... it's fun to eat all that delicious food!  Who doesn't love a wee treat, a wee something special, just for you?? hahaha!  Well, not to worry.  I firmly believe you can have your treats and add one little thing to your daily diet, a simple little dish that you can make in a minute (literally!).  It's my favourite 'Apple Crumble'... I have a new one that I've now been eating for years, instead of my much fancier version of Apple Crumble when I first wanted to lose 35 pounds... when I wanted to lose that weight, after my lovely son was born (okay, two years after my little man was born... man, those extra pounds were soo hard to take off... something about having a baby in your late thirties... makes that weight just want to stay put! lol!).


And who doesn't want a little wine - we'll all age gracefully! lol! ; )

So, anyway, if you can find a space in your day, each day, to add a bowl of Apple Crumble, you'll not only NOT gain weight during all the holiday eating, the chances are really high you'll lose some weight, too.  And if you want to lose a lot of poundage (like I did! lol!), just add the Apple Crumble a couple of times a day... you'll naturally want to have less other food, because the Apple Crumble is really filling, plus, it'll just make you feel like, Look at me, all healthy, 'n all, takin' good care of my body!" Hahaha!  Having a positive attitude toward the wee treat that is actually making your body healthier, is a great thing, and very good for keeping it going... and if you miss a day, no worries, add it in, tomorrow, or the next day.  Eventually, you'll find you miss it when you don't have your Apple Crumble during the day (or evening, but I find I tend to eat the Apple Crumble in the morning and afternoon... and it's super-easy to bring to work.  Just make it in the morning, pop it in the microwave at work before you sit down for a warm meal : )


Super-Simple Apple Crumble Diet

Ingredients:


Unsweetened Apple Sauce
Oatmeal
Cinnamon


Could it beee any easier??

Sprinkle the apple sauce with the oatmeal, then a little sprinkle of Cinnamon, pop in the microwave for 120 seconds... delicious, and you'll be losing weight, or maintaining your weight through the holiday feasts! :)

Look, I've made Applesauce look pretty!! lol!

Half a bowl of Apple Sauce

Pour the Apple Sauce into any bowl.. I like to use a pretty bowl -- it changes how you feel about whatever you're eating, but I'll use a normal cereal bowl if I'm having the Apple Crumble for lunch, or breakfast  (I think I am more likely to have the Apple Crumble for a mid-morning snack or lunch, sometimes a mid-afternoon snack... just fit it into your daily diet wherever you can, wherever you like it). 

Sprinkle Oatmeal directly on the Apple Sauce, enough to cover it.  I find that if you put on too much oatmeal, it'll be dry, and it's nicer with more Apple Sauce than Oatmeal...

Now Sprinkle with a little Cinnamon.. remember that Cinnamon is fantastic for regulating your Blood Sugar (a Good Thing! lol!), and the oatmeal and apple sauce are great for fibre, and lowering your cholesterol, and the weight loss will lower your Blood Pressure, and you'll look and feel fantastic, too ... they're just really, really good whole foods, and your body will thank you for it! All that in one little bowl of Apple Crumble! : )

Ugh, I couldn't get the pictures in the order I wanted them in... this program kept moving them around... frustrating, but you're a smartie, I'm sure you'll figure it out, no bother! lol!  Good Luck, and Happy Feasting!!  Ailsa xox! : )

Oooh, I had to step up my porridge and apple crumble regimen over the past week (I've dropped 2.5" off my waist in this last week - this works so fast, and is so effective in keeping the weight off) - so I have the porridge for breakfast, and the applesauce/oatmeal/cinnamon for my mid-afternoon snack (seems like that's a bad time for me, when I'd rather have almost anything else that's fancy!! hahaha!  Ah, well.  You can still have anything else you like when you have lots of oatmeal in your diet - oatmeal will just 'carry it all away', if you know what I mean! lol!  Sorry!! I think the oatmeal goes through your system, finds little bits and pieces of fat, carries that away with it, too! 'Get on my back, fat, let's get outta here!!' That's the oatmeal speaking!!  hahaha!  

Oh, and here's an extra little bonus when you make the porridge with salt that is iodized... that's a good source of iodine, which can be tricky to get, but, certainly, if you are on a low-salt diet, skip the slat, or if you are eating your porridge with brown sugar and cinnamon, skip the salt... I happen to love my porridge the Scottish way (reminds me of my Dad every time I have my porridge, because Daddy made the porridge on the weekends - a lovely childhood memory for me!)  So try the whole oatmeal thing - is worth a shot, and is oatmeal is fantastic for bringing down your cholesterol, and when you lose weight, that will bring your blood pressure down, too - see how great oatmeal is?! lol!    https://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.ca/2012/04/scottish-porridge-eat-yer-oatmeal-lose.html
