Cooking light Cooking Light is a registered trademark of Oxmoor House, Inc. Their staff have developed basic techniques of healthful, low-fat cooking. There are smart tasty ways to prepare our favorite foods with about one-half the calories of conventional cooking. In general, Cooking Light means using lesser amounts of butter, cooking oil and egg yokes, choosing low fat cheeses and milk and cutting back on sugar. Yes, we can have our cake and eat it too. Every month we will present a recipe tested and taste-approved by a Casta resident. We can make healthy eating an exciting adventure for the new millenium. [top]

Eating on a schedule Most Casta residents are no longer tied down to a rigid daily schedule. This allows our eating times to slip, slide around. Our body no longer knows when to be hungry which leads us to snack, snack, snack (at least me). By setting specific times to eat we soon train our bodies to be hungry on the preset schedule and to not expect snacks. [top]

Eating measured amounts Light foods still have the bulk, just not all the calories of conventional foods. They can be quite satisfying. But over eating healthy food still puts on weight. The solution is to serve oneself fixed amounts which can be estimated by the eye. I am not going to weight out food nor am I going to count calories. Dear Lord, please, just let me enjoy life. And I am! [top]

Regular Exercise My personal physician has recommend that I to not do excessive exercising in any one day but to exercise for one hour three times a week. Why by time? One can always meet the time goal. When we get old enough this might be accomplished just by going out to the mailbox. Dr. Pratt: I am going back to climbing mountains. [top]
