3 tbsp Fruity olive oil
1 large Onion, quartered
-and thinly sliced
2 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 375F. Warm a tablespoon of oil in a large pan and
add the onion, garlic and half the herbes de Provence, and salt
lightly. Stew gently for about 5 minutes, then remove the onions to a
gratin dish and spread them evenly over the bottom. Season with
pepper. Warm another tablespoon of oil in the same skillet, raise the
heat to medium-high and add the zucchini, a few pinches of salt and
the rest of the herbes de Provence. Saute, stirring occasionally,
until they start to color, about 10 minutes. Distribute the zucchini
over the onions; arrange them casually. Tuck in the slices of tomato
here and there, along with the olives. Drizzle the remaining oil over
the top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and
continue to bake another 10 minutes or so, or until the squash is
tender and the juices are reduced. Allow to cool and serve warm or

Losing weight
If you wish to get thinner and also boost your all round well-being, then, as any doctor will tell you, you should undertake a thoughtfully planned healthy meal plan. Ideally, this should involve five measures of grains, cereals and vegetables on a daily basis and also incorporate a sensible fusion of fat, carbs and protein.
In deciding on a dietary regime, you have to attempt to restrict your ingestion of fats, refined carbohydrates and salt.
People starting a weight loss program far too often focus on food store and well known foods claiming to be 'low in fat'. This is usually foolish, insofar as a food can be reduced in fat, but nevertheless high in carbohydrates and calories.
Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Now and then during a hectic morning, you assume that you want food but actually you might want a cold glass of water or juice. The feelings of being thirsty and being hungry are somewhat similar, albeit one of the two leads to a fat tummy and the other leads to no damage.
Instead of thinking about which food types you should leave out of your meal plan, focus on the "good" foods which you might want to bring into your weight loss program. If you can inject a few nourishing fruit & veg into your diet, you will be delighted to find that you feel more satisfied and have a much reduced chance of being tempted by those unwholesome mid-morning sweets and chocolates.
