Hummus February 2007
With the weather being so hot and sticky in Sydney at the moment I find it
hard to get into the mood for cooking. Nonetheless, I know that if my
husband and I don't prepare something nutritious then we're likely to
resort to quick-fix stodgy foods with little nutritional value.
So here's my favourite 'fast food' for summer, packed with loads of
Famine-Busting nutrients. Team it with a fresh salad and crusty bread for a
light meal, or pack it into containers and take some bread or crackers with
you for a wholesome snack on the run.

"What I loved the most about Amanda's weight loss program is that it was so simple and so totally different to all the weight loss programs I have tried over the past 20+ years. I did not have to count points, weigh food or only eat specific foods. I travel a lot and dine out a lot with clients so eating specific foods, weighing food and counting points does not work for me. Amanda's consulting program helped me see my weight loss journey as exciting and positive. Amanda's consulting helped me fine tune how to go about changing my eating and exercise habits so I could lose weight almost effortlessly. I lost 5.3 kilos in 16 weeks and have kept if off now for over 6 months. I am still quite stunned about how easy it has all been. I have been trying to lose this weight for over 15 years. Also I know without any doubt that the weight I have lost is permanently lost as I have permanently changed my habits. I have had several people (including my husband) say I look 10 years younger. Not only do I look 10 years younger but I feel it too. Thank you Amanda and I am so glad I "found" you PS: I threw out all the trousers in my wardrobe that are now too big for me. There is no going back!"
