Get Fit Like Maria!
Maria Menonous, the slim, attractive, cohost of the nightly
entertainment show-"Extra" once carried 40 extra pounds on
her 5' 8" frame.
How did she take it off and how does she keep it off?
Maria didn't follow any specific plan, she learned dozens of
weight loss tips from the many fitness magazines-she devoured
over the yrs.
And to keep it off (for a decade now) she still doesn't follow any
specific plan, but she does eat fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats,
whole grains, nuts, seeds and beans.
And she also admits that she indulges her favorites...like
Oreos, a cheeseburger and ice cream on occasion.
Another fact about Maria: Her dad contracted diabetes,
even though he maintained a normal weight and wasn't a
glutton at the kitchen table.
So, Maria's mom had to read labels and really change
her style of cooking. The following recipe is a favorite
of Maria's and her dad.
Maria calls it- Mom's Delicious Veggie Pattie!
The Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz. ) white navy beans (drain the liquid, then rinse)
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs (look for a good quality bread crumb)
1/2 cup cholled onions
2 gloves garlic (peeled and diced)
1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley)
2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil.
The Recipe:
Heat a grill and grease it (lightly) with olive or coconut oil.
In the food processor, combine the navy beans, the onions, garlic,
parsley, and olive oil. Pulse 5 times. Divide mixture into 4 patties.
Now, place the patties on the grill and grill for 4 mins.
Turn the patties over when the patties are lightly brown.
That' it- The patties come in at a lean 225 calories each (without buns)
and 8 grams of fat. Add some spicy mustard or horseradish, or ketchup
to your patty.
Enjoy this burger a few times a week and cut down on the amount
of meat you eat. Your budget will thank you as will your waistline.
Good Luck!
