Defeated by a lasagna?
“After reading this, you keep wondering how it was ever possible to manage million dollar deals, win business battles, and be defeated by a lasagna.” {From the back cover of The Four Star Diet, a testimonial by Giuliano Papadia, Head of Channels, Fox International Channels.}
Yet, we continue to see the problem of obesity in America spiraling out of control. If it is not lasagna defeating us, it is sugar, to which we are also losing the battle of Diabetes at an alarming rate.
Don’t Miss It
If you or someone you know is struggling with weight, health and more, this book is a must-read, and you will not want to miss this interview with its author, Laura Wellington. We talk about the inspiration for the book and some of the highlights I wanted to touch on with her.
Not to mention the fact that its principles are applicable to so much more than dieting. Think leadership, business, parenting, etc. You can find out much more from Part 1, which we broadcasted yesterday.
Here is Part 2 of the interview:
Giveaway and Recipe
Laura has graciously agreed to give away one autographed copy of her book to one of our readers or listeners of the podcast. We have to limit this to entrants from the United States only, due to shipping expenses. Before we get to the giveaway entry form, Laura also shared a delicious favorite family recipe with us, Cinnamon Peach Muffins:
- 2 cups of flour
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 6 oz. container of fat free or low fat peach or pineapple yogurt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 peach (remove the pit; blend in blender with 1 cup apple juice so that it's liquid)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp. cloves
- additional apple juice
- confectioners sugar
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease a muffin tin (or use cooking spray which I prefer as it's easier).
- Mix all of the ingredients together less the additional apple juice and confectioners sugar.
- Add the additional apple juice only if your mixture is lumpy. It should be smooth - similar to a cake mix.
- Ladle the mix in the muffin tins.
- Bake in your oven until brown and firm to the touch (about an 1-1.5 hours depending upon your oven).
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
And here is where you can enter the giveaway for an autographed copy of The Four Star Diet!
