Help A Fat Guy Out

Hummus is a great way to get some extra cholesterol lowering fiber in a low fat dip that can easily double as a spread for sandwiches. While you can serve this with bread, toast or crackers you might want to try adding it to a veggie platter with carrots, celery or bell peppers.

I almost always double this recipe because it keeps in the refrigerator for a long time and it's versatile for snacks, lunches, dinners and hummus on whole grain toast makes a hearty breakfast.

This is an adaptation of one of my favorite tilapia dishes. By steaming the fish instead of pan frying the flavors combine much better, the dish is much easier to make and you can also cook this on the grill or as a casserole.  You can easily halve this dish or double it depending on how many you're feeding.

Sure watermelon may sound strange but what's more refreshing at a summer cookout then watermelon?  Why wait until the end of the meal when you can serve it with grilled food and trust me, this fat guy loves this with grilled food.  I've recieved at least 3 phone calls asking for this recipe as well so everyone likes it.

Beans are cheap, low in fat and good for your heart even they do make you fart.  This makes a great side dish to every meat or fish dish that I've tried and it can even be served as a topping for bruschetta.

Not only is this white bean dip low in cholesterol but it's filled with fiber and protein.  This fat guy and his slim wife loves this on toast, bruschetta or my baked pita chips.  It rocks!
