Trying new things and experimenting with recipes is fun! I made gluten free "oreos" for my daughter and she said "MMMMM" so they must be OK! They were time consuming but worth the effort to hear her say mmmm! Really was making the chocolate cookies to use as the crust for a cheesecake....it was ok but I will use a different cheesecake filling recipe next time. The "oreos" and the cheesecake are not part of my (re)discovering slim protocol!! They are part of the experimental cooking for tasty gluten free foods!
Starting the (re)discovering slim class is taking longer then I anticipated.....looking for a room to use for the participants! Hope to have a room in the next couple of weeks and then can start the classes so everyone can accomplish their goals!
A quick way for women to figure your basal metabolic rate (calories burned to sustain life) without elaborate scientific equipment is to use the following calculation*:
Step 1: Multiply your weight by 4.4
Step 2: Multiply your height by 4.7
Step 3: Add answers from step 1 & 2
Step 4; Multiply your age by 4.7
Step 5: subtract step 4 from step 3
step 6: Add 655 to the answer from step 5
this will give you a starting point for calories ingested and weight loss
*Harris-Benedict formula from Tufts University 1998
You might be surprised at the number of calories you are currently ingesting!
Ready...set...begin............accountability to yourself...take the next step!!
