*Note: The book says to peel the cucumbers only if they are waxed and
even then leave on a few strips. I say to remove all the peel if
it's been waxed. Yuck.

In a bowl, generously salt the sliced cucumbers. Allow to sit for at
least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine the other ingredients.

Squeeze out as much of the cucumber juice as you can, by wringing a
handful at a time in a double layer of cheesecloth or a dish towel.
Twist until you can extract no more juice.

Combine the squeezed cucumbers and the sauce in a serving bowl and
refrigerate until ready to serve.

Advice on losing weight

If you enjoy your food, but want to become thin and also increase your overall healthiness, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should undertake a carefully configured well-balanced meal plan. Ideally, this ought to involve 5 portions of fruit & veg a day and require a sensible proportion of fat, carbohydrates and proteins.

In planning a meal plan, it is essential to try to restrict your consumption of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.

When chosing foods for dieting, dieters usually concentrate on retail store and brand name food products professing to be 'low-fat'. This is frequently an error, in that a food item may be very low in fats, but whilst still being elavated in carbs.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Our bodies need water , it is essential for our general health and is blessed with fat and calories. Water is also good in that it fills a dieter's stomach and helps reduce sensations of emptiness. Some experts warn it is best to consume as much as 6 tumblers of water per day.

Instead of thinking about which unhealthy foods you should eliminate from your diet, concentrate on the good foods that you can introduce to your weight loss program. If you manage to insert a few nutritious grains and vegetables into your dietary regime, you'll soon see that you feel full and have a far lower risk of giving in to those unwholesome mid-morning chocolates.
