Today will make it 14 days since I started my adventure in the Weight Watchers Simple Start plan! Yeah! Honestly, it does not even seem like I am even on a diet and just learning how to cook healthier meals. I’m LOVING it! I thought I would share some of the recipes available via the Simple Start app, so you can get a glimpse of what to expect if you decide try it.
Before starting the program I would avoid fat free products like the plague! Why? Because they tasted like flavorless paste! The thought of fat free mayo or sour cream would never enter my mind let alone my grocery cart! The Simple Start recipes call for fat free or low fat items, but gladly manufactures have come a long way and fat free foods actually do not taste badly like they did years ago. Of course you will find certain brands definitely taste better than others! It takes a bit of experimenting to see which ones don’t offend the taste buds.
The Tuna Sandwich with Side Salad recipe below makes an easy light lunch idea that will help power your day! If you do not like fat free mayo switch it out for plain nonfat Greek yogurt! For those of you who are counting points, this meal has a 7 PointPlus Value! Enjoy!
