Belly Info + A Recipe

FIRST, besides the most recent post, don't forget to look at older posts that may have meeting info or other helpful info.

SOME GENERAL KNOWLEDGE:
(From Dr. Mehmet Oz)
Ideally, your waist should measure less than half your height (do it at the belly button—go ahead and suck in). That means if you're 5'5", yours would be less than 32.5 inches. The reason: The omental (large piece of connective tissue/organ) fat beneath your stomach muscles causes inflammation, which drives many of your body's other critical numbers in the wrong direction. To lose inches at your waist: Focus on slicing off 100 calories a day. Since salad dressings sabotage many a good intention, one idea is to make this nutty recipe part of your routine: 1. Mix 1 tablespoon each of walnut (or hazelnut) oil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar; add salt and pepper to taste.2. Chop 1 small tomato, 1/4 cup diced onions, and 6 sliced mushrooms.3. Pour the combo over 1 head of Boston lettuce.Makes 2 servings, about 150 calories each.
