56 calories | It’s no secret that I was a yo-yo dieter for years before I became a “weight-loss success story”. I always joked that I was so creative with food that I could turn anything “good” into something “bad”.

The stakes were high: Each team had just 30 minutes to create a healthy, low-calorie, delicious entree worthy of making it into [The Biggest Loser Quick and Easy Cookbook]. The winners not only got their…
60 calories | Scraping out the seeds from the cucumber is a very important step because it keeps this salad from becoming watery. Another important step in preparing this simple yet refreshing salad is to allow the flavors to meld overnight in the fridge — it makes all the difference in the overall taste.
