Dieting Gadgets I love

This time of year, I get a lot of use out of my salad spinner (http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/cw418/index.cfm?pkey=xsrd0m1%7C16%7C%7C%7C0%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7Csalad%20spinner&cm%5Fsrc=SCH).

I'm making frequent trips to the farmers' markets and the salad greens you get there always need extra washing. Not the mention the fact that the lettuce I get from my garden is practically coated in dirt.

If you're eating a lot of salad, being able to wash and dry the greens effectively and quickly is a pick plus, and the salad spinner helps you to do so.

In any event, preparing your own food really helps in weight loss. You can control portion sizes and leave out extra calories far easier if you're doing the preparing and cooking.

But, you're not going to prepare and cook your own food if doing so is a bitch. And that's were having good knives, pots, pans, gadgets comes into play.

You're not going to make salads with any frequency if all you have to cut veggies is some dull serrated knife. Get a few good knives and keep them sharp.

I wrote about another good dieting gadget here: http://losingweightafter45isabitch.blogspot.com/2009/05/dieting-gadgets-i-love.html (and included some good salad dressing recipes as well.)
