Weight Loss Recipes for Christian Women

Are you over weight and unhappy with your weight? Is shame plaguing your life, stealing your peace? Over weight happens when we ignore what we are eating and eat whatever satisfies our taste buds for the moment with whatever is at our fingertips. As a Christian woman modifying weight loss recipes the extra pounds will come off as part of a lifestyle change versus crash dieting.

Where does a Christian woman start when it comes to losing weight? She begins by confessing to God that she has operated outside of his best for her health. Following the confession comes prayer for guidance, asking God to guide her as she begins to turn away from the old habits of weight loss recipes.

A Christian woman should seek God first. He knows everything about her (Psalms 139:3) Spend some time asking God to show you the root of this excessive weight gain. It might help to journal your feelings. It could be the weight loss recipes you have chosen in the past don’t work because you really don’t like, or fearful of doing something over and over. Perhaps it’s because your weight problem is connected to some emotional event in your life.

God wants to heal the real problem and not put a band aid on the symptoms. Choosing weight loss recipes, formulas, and restricting weight management ideas need to be considered spiritually by the Christian woman.

Weight loss recipes that work for some won’t work for others. The Christian woman should make sure her reasons for wanting to lose weight line up with God’s instructions for living. Do you want to lose weight because you no longer feel sexy, attractive? Is taking off the extra pounds going to fulfill your sexy feelings and lure you into thinking that borders on pride and return you to being self focused?

A Christian woman should examine her motives before God, recognizing that she has been created in the image of God, and he didn’t make junk. Making God the focus of your weight loss recipe, rather than becoming a fad, or quick fix, it becomes a lifestyle that can be lived out by the truths of God’s word.

Weight Watching: 7-Must Have Seasonings For Great Food Flavoring

I have always enjoyed great flavor in prepared food. To me there is nothing like a cook who knows how to season, to bring out the best taste in food. I am always looking for great seasonings to improve the flavor of my food.

About two years ago I was introduced to Old Bay and Adobo seasonings by my friend from Trinidad. The Greek Seasoning we stumbled upon while we were vacationing in Indiana when we couldn’t find Adobo.

1. Goya makes a product called Adobo, which is an all purpose seasoning. You can use it on fish, chicken, pork, beef, etc.

2. Cavender’s is an all purpose Greek Seasoning. I was surprised at its many uses: chops, meat loaf, fish, turkey, hamburgers, seafoods, wild game, vegetables, gravies, soups, stews, etc.

3. Garlic Powder.

4. Old Bay Seasoning can be used on seafood, poultry, salads and meats.

5. Salt. You may like it fine, grainy, or the sea salts.

6. Ground Black Pepper

7. Cayenne pepper is also good if you like a little heat in your dishes.
