Weight Loss Tips from around the world

We here at AM Warner Insurance are on a kick to lose some weight. So far, I have personally lost over 10 pounds. Not bad when all I'm looking for is 13-15 pounds total. I'm using Weight Watchers and it's working. People in other parts of the world are not as heavy as Americans. Here are some of their tips.

France:
Omelette with wild mushrooms. Loading up this classic French dish with exotic mushrooms, such as oyster or cremini, is a great way to fill it out without adding excess calories. Use egg whites or Egg Beaters to make this even more low-cal.

Caribbean:
A colorful mix of fresh kiwi, pineapple, papaya and star fruit topped with toasted coconut and tart honey-lime sauce makes and satisfying lunch.

Italy:
Whole-wheat penne tossed with shrimp, vegetables and olive oil. This dish provides a good amount of fiber, low-cal protein and some healthy fat. Add lots of colorful vegetables to increase the portion size.

Asia:
Use low-fat rice-paper rolls to make these. Combine tofu, rice noodles, cucumber, carrot, red pepper and fresh herbs. Serve with a spicy dipping sauce of lime, orange, ginger and chili.
