Uncle Doug Checks In!

Hey everyone,

Great to see everyone gathering here!

Love the pics of Alex, Tracy and Great Grandma. Alex is absolutely adorable! Looks like a little pistol. Grandma Marie and Tracy look great too.

Great to hear that Nick and Ryan are trimming down. I am trying as well. Started Jan 1 when I tipped the scales at 265 (embarrassingly, probably a family record). I am currently at 245 (probably still in record territory). My goal is 200LBS by year end.

I follow the Sugar Buster Diet.
Low Carb/No Sugar. All Protein and Selected Fruits and Veggies. (No Grapes Watermelon Corn) Limited Stone Ground Whole Wheat breads and Pastas.

Also I am doing a boot-camp 3 mornings a week - Up at 4 - Reporting in at 5:15 - Being pushed for an hour. Feels so good when I am finished.

Anyway

Here is my Healthy recipe suggestion

3 Bean Salad

1 Can Garbonzo beans
1 Can Kidney beans
1 Can Balck Beans
Drain and Rinse all 3 cans together. Rinse real well as the canned beans have lots of salt.

Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup each of:
chopped green or red onion,
Chopped Celery.
Chopped Anahiem Pepper. or Pepper of Choice

Add lots of Fresh Mushrooms
1/4 cup of good Olive Oil
1/4 cup red Wine Vinegar

Mix all real well. Salt and Pepper to taste.

Refrigerate.

Great filler snack or side dish. Very filling and will fit in any diet plan.

Hope you try it and like it.
