Hi Barry,
I agree, these recipes do sound rich and fattening. However, believe it or not, eating pretty much the same foods as these, at least as far as calories, sodium, fat and sugar intake, I've dropped from 402.8 lbs. on March 21, 2015, when I started by weight loss journal, down to 366.4 lbs this past Sunday, May 31, 2015. In other words, down around 36 lbs. in roughly 10 weeks or 3.6 lbs per week. That leaves me around 146 lbs. short of my goal of 220 lbs.
I also use a lot of Weight Watchers recipes for my sweet tooth. Since these are mostly fish recipes, what goes better with Fish than Key Lime Pie. Here's a Weight Watchers' version of a tasty Key Lime Pie. It's light and creamy, low in fat, sugar and fuss and I think it's delicious.
