Garbanzo Bean Dip:
I don't have a link to a recipe because my mother-in-law just told me about it, but this is how I make it.
First I soften the onions in a pan
Then I add:
Canned diced tomatoes (undrained)
Garbanzo beans (drained)
Cilantro
A little minced garlic for flavor
And about 5 shakes of paprika
I heat it on medium high for about 10 minutes tops just so the flavors can marry
Let it cool and stick it in a tupperware in the fridge. :) It's good warm or refrigerated. ð???

So the way that I maintain my body weight it probably about 85-90% eating right. And the other 10-15% is staying active and doing home work out.

Poor eating habits not only lead to a weakened immune system, which can make you more suseptible to developing Cancer, but it can also lead to:

â?¢ Coronary Heart Disease
â?¢ Type 2 Diabetes
â?¢ Obesity
â?¢ High Blood Pressure
â?¢ High Cholesterol levels

So hereâ??s what I eat and what I donâ??t eat:

â?¢ I donâ??t eat fast foods.
â?¢ I donâ??t drink sodas.
â?¢ I donâ??t have much of a sweet tooth, so sweets are not really a weakness for me. I think my biggest weakness is cheese.
â?¢ I donâ??t cut out any of the food groups.
â?¢ I donâ??t practice any type of portion control. To me that seems too restrictive. I would rather eat a ton of something healthy than a little bit of something unhealthy. Not just that, I didnâ??t want to only look good on the outside, I wanted to know that Iâ??m healthy on the inside too.
â?¢ I donâ??t â??dietâ?

This is the way that I eat:
â?¢ I eat for nutrition (not to say that everything that I put in my mouth is packed with nutrition, because some of it is just low-fat, low calorie filler food, but from day to day I do a pack in a lot of nutrition.
â?¢ I keep healthy options prepared and ready to grab
â?¢ I eep my trigger foods and foods that I have a weakness towards out of my house.
â?¢ I satisfy cravings with Alternatives â?? For most of the foods you enjoy, there is always going to be a healthier way to prepare it, using healthier alternatives. You just have to look for it. Books, Internet, etc.
â?¢ I donâ??t fry foods
â?¢ I donâ??t eat fast food (except on rare occasions)
â?¢ I buy lean meats ALWAYS and bake or grill them without Butter and Oils. It can be done!
â?¢ If Iâ??m going to be making something that requires a cream base of some sort, whether itâ??s cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, sour cream, cream cheeseâ?¦Iâ??ll always buy the reduced fat versions or substitute greek yogurt for sour cream
â?¢ I believe seasoning and different spices can be your best friend when youâ??re trying to eat more nutritoous
