Welcome to SKINNYUM!

What if I told you that it’s possible to enjoy diet foods that are so delectable, you’ll find yourself preferring them over comparable non-diet foods? Pipe dream?  Maybe not.

If you’re like me, you relish opening your mouth and wrapping your lips around a forkful of yum. But the upshot of all of that yum certainly does a number on the body, right? So for years my answer to yummy food weight gain was yucky food dieting—which worked quite well until I reached middle age. At that point dieting was useless as the pounds packed on even while following yucky food diets and taking “healthy” supplements.  It was exasperating. 

Surely there had to be an eating regime that would allow me to have my cake and eat it too.  Enter J.J. Virgin*—cue the melodic heavenly voices, please—and her 2-hour PBS special. The information presented in this program was a Godsend.  It changed my life. Having lost 52 pounds following J.J. Virgin’s regime, I can testify that diet food can certainly be as tasty as or tastier than regular food.

So welcome to my blog, SKINNYUM! Here I’ll share cooking tips and some of my most delectable J.J. Virgin style recipes for maintaining your weight loss. There are no guarantees (expressed or implied), but if you are doing the "drop 7 foods/7 days/lose 7 pounds" plan, you might very well find something of interest here.
