A craving for sweet little nothings doesn't mean that you have to get off your weight loss plan in order to enjoy such. Just keep the calories light, and the fat low - that's one key to weight loss.

Using Popcorn & Rice Cakes to Target Your Diet Weaknesses

Hitting the Diet's Bull's-eye!

Whether your diet weakness is sweet nothings, or proteins, or dairy products, or even chocolate - using popcorn and rice cakes can help you win your Weight Loss Battle!

Years ago, when rice cakes hit the market, I immediately ventured out to pick up a bag. Boy, was I excited. They looked so good on the commercials, too. However, after eating one and spewing rice particles out of my mouth like a snow blower for at least two minutes, my sweet vision of these cardboard tasting treats proved to be nothing more than an illusion. I thought I would receive the luscious taste of buttery rice, and perhaps even feel a bit oriental, but alas this was not the case. However, my chopsticks did work well as 'rice cake stabbers'.

Over the years, new varieties of these light cakes have made their way into the market. If you haven't experimented with rice or popcorn cakes in a while, try them again.

The Orville Redenbacker's "Butter Popcorn Cakes" are especially great tasting - with or without toppings. Here are a few suggestions that will spice up your diet and save you boo-coos of calories. All treats average about 50 calories per cake.

Meat Eaters

Deli-Licious!

2 rice or popcorn cakes

2 small slices of Mozzarella Cheese made with skimmed milk

One thin slice of lean deli meat, your choice

Dash of dried roasted peppers

Simply top each cake with 1 slice of cheese, then 1/2 the meat. Top with olive, if desired.

Enjoy!
