Raspberry Mousse Pie
CHOCOLATE GRAHAM CRUST
1 1/2 cups Graham wafer crumbs
2 tbsp sugar (or use equivalent in bakeable artificial sweetener
1/4 cup low-saturated fat margarine, melted
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 egg white, beaten with fork --until frothy
RASPBERRY (OR STRAWBERRY) MOUSSE
cups *****, thawed/reserve strawberries -- juice
1 package unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup reserved juice from the raspberries
1 cup no-fat plain yogurt
4 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar or equivalent of sugar substitute


CHOCOLATE GRAHAM CRUST Use PAM to grease a pie plate. This will do a 9" or
10" pie. Combine all ingredients except the egg white. Whisk the egg white
until frothy and stir into crumbs. Press crumbs into a greased 9" or 10"
pie plate. Bake at 350 F. for 7 - 10 minutes. Cool. Don't buy a ready-made
crust -- they have more sugar than this one does.

RASPBERRY (OR STRAWBERRY) MOUSSE PIE If you have a 10" pie plate, use it
for this pie. If you use a 9" pie plate, have a cereal bowl ready to put
the extra filling into. Mousse: Puree the berries. Strain thru a sieve
until all you have left is seeds. Discard the seeds. (This is the worst
part of the whole thing, but definitely worth it). Sprinkle gelatin over
the 1/4 c. of juice. Heat the berry puree just to warm it. Add the
softened gelatin and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add
sweetener to berry mixture (see the note below about adding sweetener).
Cool until it is the consistency of raw egg white. Stir in the cold
yogurt. Put the mixture back in the fridge while you do the next step.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Whisk 1/4 of beaten whites
into the berry mixture. Then fold the rest of the egg whites into the
mixture. Pile the stuff into the crust and put it into the fridge until it
is set (up to 3 hours). NOTES: 3 cups of berries is the original recipe. I
have found that 2 small boxes of unsweetened raspberries (the regular size
as opposed to the large size) work quite well with this recipe; so I don't
bother to measure anymore. I just thaw and use two boxes.

ADDING SWEETENER TO THE BERRIES: I have found that the berries are usually
too sweet when I use the full amount of sweetener called for. So as I add
the sweetener to the cooled berry mixture, I keep checking it for
sweetness. I do not put the whole 1/4 cup in at once. I start with 1/8 cup
and work my way up until it is as sweet as I want it. My family like it to
be a little bit tart (you lose the berry flavor if it is too sweet). If
the berry mixture gets too set before you start the egg whites, a whisk
works very well to break it up enough that you don't have little gelatin
lumps in the finished product. If it gets way too set, re-heat it a bit to
liquify it; then recool it. If, when putting the filling into the shell,
it starts to look like you won't get it to the fridge if you put any more
filling in: put the pie in the fridge and then add more filling in the
centre of the pie. Keep your eye on the edges. When it looks like it is
going to overflow, put the rest of the filling in a small bowl. 1/8 of the
pie is worth 1 fat, 1 bread, and 1 fruit exchange

Advice on losing weight

If you enjoy your food, but need to regain your youthful figure and make improvements in your overall vitality, without doubt you really should commence a thoughtfully designed wholesome weight loss program. At best, this must take in 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables each day and contain the correct mix of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

When deciding on a dietary regime, it is important to make sure you decrease consumption of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When buying food, dieters far too often concentrate on supermarket and brand name food products claiming to be 'low fat'. This is usually incorrect, since a food item may be reduced in fat, but still high in calories.

Drink plenty of water. Your body needs water , it is indispensable for our general good health and is blessed with calories and fat. It also has the benefit that it fills a dieter's stomach and helps reduce sensations of hunger. The recommended portions researchers claim that we should aim to drink at the minimum 6 tumblers of water a day.

Rather than thinking about those food types you need to leave out of your diet, look at the good foods which you are able to bring into your daily routine. If you can bring in the recommended portions nutritious grains, fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll find that you feel more full and have a far lower chance of giving in to those detrimental midday chocolates.
