Weight Watchers Recipes Without The Points

If you have joined Weight Watchers you probably have collected weight watcher recipes that give the points. People who are been on diets throughout their lives are pretty familiar with counting calories.

Whether you count points, calories, fat grams, fiber grams, protein or carbohydrates, there is one thing missing in your diet approach.

To truly lose weight you have to learn to eat when you are hungry and stop eating when you are full, but not stuffed.

Instead of counting points or calories, wean yourself off the Weight Watchers program by learning to make healthier versions of the recipes you use at home. Learn to eat until you are satisfied without worrying about the points.

The key is to make recipes that are low in fat and high in fiber so you can enjoy eating and feel full and satisfied on fewer calories. But you have to listen to your internal signal that tells you when you no longer need to eat for your body.

If you keep eating past the point of being satisfied, you are eating more emotional reasons.

Don't buy frozen weight watcher dinners

Instead of buying the frozen Weight Watcher dinners, try the following recipe for a delicious low-fat chicken marsala dish.

You don't even need any measuring cups or tools other than a frying pan.

Simply take as many chicken breasts as you need, depending on how many people you are serving.

Soak the chicken in lemon juice. Then coat the chicken in flour.

Lightly brown the chicken in a little olive oil and garlic. Then sauté chopped green and red peppers, onions, and mushrooms for about 10 minutes.

Put the chicken back into the pan and add a bottle of marsala wine along with fresh parsley, basil, pepper and seasoning. Simmer for at least a half hour before serving over brown rice or with pasta.

To convert any of your recipes into weight watcher recipe, simply eliminate the high-fat ingredients and substitute nonfat or low fat.

Finally, go through your cookbooks and recipes and weed out the ones that are heavy on sugar and starches. Find recipes that include a lot of fruit and vegetables and light sauces instead of heavy cream sauces.

You can create your own weight watcher recipe book or file in your kitchen. Collect weight watcher magazines with low-fat recipes as well.
