How this Fast Diet Lifestyle works: Eat these meals tomorrow. On Thursday, eat the meals that will be posted on Wednesday.  Eat sensibly the other days of the week.  That’s it.  Simple way to lose weight and be healthier.                                                                              Welcome to Arch’t. Michael who is now Following.

Baking is an ancient way to prepare food, with ovens being used in ancient Egypt. Continuing our A-B-Cs of Fasting meals, we’ll enjoy baked eggs and baked beans tomorrow. We find baked eggs to be a wonderful choice for a Fast breakfast: easy to prepare, delicious, and infinite in their variety.  And while we are having food that is easy to prepare, few meals go together as quickly as baked beans with hot dogs.  It’s “easy a A-B-C.”

Beanie Wienies:  300 calories   4.3 g fat  8.6 g fiber  14.3 g protein  43 g carbs  74 mg Calcium PB GF My husband grew up eating this with his childhood chums. What could be simpler? And the carb count is due to the good fiber of beans and carrots. So complex.

1 reduced fat hot dog [we like Hebrew National all beef franks]                                                            ¾ cup canned baked beans                                                                                                                                  1 oz carrots, cooked or raw

Put the baked beans in a small sauce pan. Cut the hotdogs into 1” pieces [on the diagonal, my husband would say] and add to the pan. Warm thoroughly. Plate with the carrots.
