When Foods Make You Feel Bad
When Foods Make You Feel Bad
Truth is, you don’t have to eliminate any foods from your diet. The important step is realizing what foods make you feel awful and put you in a bad mood. If you pay attention, you can identify how certain foods, in certain portions, blitz your mood like a linebacker clobbering a quarterback.

Diet Coke Chicken
Diet Coke Chicken submitted by Robin
4 Boneless Chicken Breasts (4 oz. each)
1 cup Ketchup
1 cup Diet Coke
Brown chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper to taste. Add diet coke and ketchup and simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve with rice.
I like to add a few tablespoons of diced green chilis for a little extra zip. This is a very yummy, low cal meal.
This is another Weight Watcher's recipe - 4 points for one chicken breast.

Diet Soda Cake
1 box cake mix any flavor
1 can diet soda any flavor
Mix the dry cake mix with 10-12 oz of diet soda (do not use the egg or oil listed on the box)
Spray a 9x12 cake pan (or cupcake tin) with non-stick spray and bake according to the package directions.
I usually tend to use diet sprite with white or light cake mixes and diet coke with the chocolate cake mixes. Diet sprite and spice cake is the bomb!
12 ounces of soda tends to make the cake very moist and 10 ounces is a little dryer.
I like to use lowfat cool whip as a topping with fresh fruit.
This is a Weight Watcher's recipe. It makes 12 servings @ 1 point each.

I made this and it was crispy and tasty. Next time I will add a little more Cayenne Pepper, as it wasn't spicy enough for us.
