Low-Cal Dish With Fresh Vegetables

Here’s Bethenny Frankel’s zucchini recipe that Gina Gershon loves:

Cut a large zucchini into 1-inch cubes. Cut the kernels from 1 corn cob. Add the zucchini to 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

After 1 minute, add 1 clove of minced garlic. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly brown; turn and brown the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn to the pan. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss 1/4 cup of quartered pear tomatoes into pan.

Transfer the zucchini mixture to a plate. Chiffonade four to five fresh basil leaves—pile the leaves on top of one another, roll them up, then slice them, so you get long strands of basil. Sprinkle basil on top of dish, along with some lemon zest and fresh pine nuts.

    Hi Betsy:
    I live in Gardner too, and I was wondering where to get a free Bottle like you did. Do you need a perscription for the colon meds? Where do I get these items you spoke about?

    I too am way over weight. I am 4ft, and 10 inches tall, and I have a lot of weight my doctor wants me to lose. If you can help me please e-mail me all information. Thank You and God Bless You
    In Christ

    I am a gastroenterology nurse at Duke University Medical Center. A sensible diet and exercise will cause a “SAFE” weight loss. You should not be taking anything to “cleanse” your colon. Your colon functions perfectly fine if you eat properly and drink plenty fluids. Laxatives, such as this advertisement is pushing, will cause temporary weight loss only because you are losing fluid through diarrhea. These potions can be dangerous and are not effective for long term weight loss. More importantly, you can end up in the hospital with a serious case of dehydration. There is no magic bullet. You didn’t put the weight on in a day and you can’t take it off in a day.

If I can lose the weight like you did that would be great. please send me an email and let me know if you could give me a call, I would really like to talk to someone who has tried this.

    Thanks

    Hi Betsy, I am from Ashland, Ne just around the corner from you. My story sounds like yours. I am going to give this a try. Did you exercise during your weight loss and did you follow a eating regiment? I would be very interested in knowing. Thanks and by the way you look great!

    Hi Betsy, I live in Boonville and have been wanting and needing to lose weight for about 8 years. I used to weigh about 135 now Im at 222. I am very unhappy with myself. I have Rheuamatoid Arthritis and am in pain daily and have been on prednisone for 8 years which makes you crave carbs which in turn puts in pounds. I do not feel like exercise but I know I need to for joint mobility. I have just ordered these items and am hoping they will help me. I have seen Dr. Oz and believe colon cleansings are important but have always been afraid to try one. I am a nurse and I know this has to be healthy and will rid your body of toxins. Thanks for your site and wish me luck!

    Betsy, I am from Vincennes. Somehow it seems more “acceptable” knowing someone so close has been successful with this. I placed an order tonight and am excited to receive it. This may be a REALLY good New Year. Jan

    I ordered bottle of acai tablet and one colon med. All I received was not one but three (3) bottles of colon med and zero bottles of acai tablets. What should I do??? Thanks-Rose

  • rose bell

    Received 3 bottles of colon med and zero bottles of acai. Something seems wrong with this. Rose

    Your story is inspiring. I had LapBand surgery and, as long as I stay within 1400-1550 calories, I will lose weight. I also live on Cape Cod (Sandwich), and just ordered Acai and Colon Med. I hope it works well for me too.

    Thank you!
