Try Granny Smiths first, but Braeburns, Winesaps, or even McIntoshes can work in pinch. This versatile recipe is great for a quick yummy breakfast, a well-deserved snack or a topping to a meat entrée for dinner. It blends sweetness, spice and tang, along with the satisfying soft, chewy texture of a cooked apple. Peeling is optional, though. Go for an extra bit of fiber and leave it on.

Cinnamon Apple

1 tart apple
1 low fat/low carb tortilla
1 pkg Stevia
Cinnamon to taste
Pam cooking spray
3 oz non-fat lite vanilla yogurt

Cook sliced apple in saucepan with a little water. When apple is soft, add Stevia and cinnamon. Spray both sides of tortilla with Pam and grill lightly. Pour cooked apple in middle and roll. Top with yogurt and more cinnamon. Counts as 1 fruit, 1 starch and ½ dairy

When it comes to weight loss programs, you’ve probably seen, heard — and tried — it all. Healthy Inspirations is different. But don’t join Healthy Inspirations if:

1. You Want to Go on a Diet. We are not about diets. We only offer customized programs that combine

• Nutritional counseling tailored to your needs and your lifestyle
• Exercise in a fast-paced, fun circuit-type routine that helps burn calories in the most efficient manner
• One-on-one coaching to uncover the barriers that lie between you today and your healthier self
• An innovative aesthetics program to reduce cellulite
• Stress Management and Relaxation techniques that target the most overlooked causes of weight gain

2. You Think Extra Weight Is Your Only Problem. Losing weight is far too complex to slap a fly-by-night “eat popcorn and pineapples” diet plan on it. We have a network of nutrition and wellness experts who know that, in additional to calories, hormonal imbalances, stress and many other lifestyle factors, play a big role in weight. If you only want a weight loss band-aid, Healthy Inspirations is not right for you.

3. You Want Prepackaged Frozen Meals. You’ve probably always wondered what happens in those other “diet” plans when you lose all the weight and the parcels of prepared meals stop coming. We know. You starting eating again on your own, using the only cooking methods you know, and the weight gradually creeps back.

We know successful weight management depends on you knowing what to buy at the grocery store, how to prepare it, when to eat, which foods to combine, and how to handle special occasions like birthdays, holidays and celebrations. We won’t handicap you by excluding you from the thinking part. We see ourselves as your partner, and our job is to fully equip you to succeed.

4. You Need a Temporary Fix for an Upcoming Event. Do you have a wedding, reunion, vacation or another get together to be svelte for? While we’re sure there are plenty of crash-diet centers that will take your money and send you on a wild goose chase in search of a way to shed 40 pounds in 6 days, that’s not what Healthy Inspirations is all about. We facilitate lifestyle change. Our approach is comprehensive and multi-focused.

5. You Think You Don’t Have Time to Rest. Stress not only affects your eating choices, but it activates a hormone called cortisol that literally programs your body to store more fat. No lifestyle change program is complete without addressing the critical role that stress plays in your life. Under one roof at Healthy Inspirations, you’ll get the nutrition component, the exercise component, and the coaching. But you’ll also benefit from relaxation techniques, including shiatsu massage.

Now here’s a description of the client who succeeds with Healthy Inspiration. She’s a woman who has dieted most of her adult life. It hasn’t worked, and she’s tired of it. Now she has significant amounts of weight to lose to be healthy and to stave off chronic illness.

And, she’s finally made up her mind that she doesn’t want to diet ever again. Instead, she wants to commit to changing her life.

If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
