8 Biggest Loser weight loss strategies
Prevention magazine offers kudos to NBC’s Biggest Losers in this online article. Spotlighting three female contestants — Kae Whang, Hollie Self, and Isabeau Miller — the editors gathered up eight strategies these gals use as they strive to maintain their weight loss for the long run.
- Weighing in at spot number one: Believe you can do it. Nothing is impossible.
- Number two: Don’t forget to eat. Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger and overeating.
- Three: Do cardio you enjoy every day. Try for 60 to 90 minutes per day, sweat, and mix up your routine.
- Four: Weight-train at least twice a week. It will boost your metabolism and offer a mental lift too.
- Five: Take advantage of early momentum. Early results, like rapid weight loss, are common. When things taper off, stay tough.
- Six: Expect — and push through — plateaus. Be patient, stick to your plan, and the scale will move in your favor.
- Seven: Build a support team. Find a partner, a program, a health club that motivates you.
- And eight: Face emotional eating head-on. Write down everything you eat, ask yourself, “Is it worth it?,” put your health first, and let your success inspire you.

Grilled and Spiced Chicken Breast with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce
Serves 6 By CURTIS STONE
Ingredients
- ¼ tsp. cumin seeds
- ¼ tsp. fennel seeds
- ¼ tsp. coriander seeds
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp. turmeric powder
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped fine
- ½ cucumber, peeled and deseeded and finely diced
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 4 cups mixed baby salad greens
- 4 sprigs fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan.
- Place a small sauté pan over medium high heat and toast each of the seeds separately for 1 to 2 minutes and remove from pan to a mixing bowl to cool.
- Using a mortar and pestle or a food processor grind the spices into a powder being sure to break up any large pieces of the seeds. Pass the spice mix through a small sifter into a mixing bowl and mix well, set aside.
- On a clean work surface lay out several even layers of plastic wrap approximately 1 foot wide and place one chicken breast over the plastic. Cover the chicken with another piece of layered plastic and lightly pound the chicken breast with a meat mallet or meat tenderizer until the chicken breast is thinned out to about a ½ inch thickness, being careful not to rip or tear the chicken breast. Repeat with the second chicken breast.
- Lightly brush the grill with a little vegetable oil. Season each side of the chicken generously with the spice mix and reserve any remaining spice mix for a later use in an airtight container.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees F.
- While the chicken is cooking mix the lemon juice, garlic, cucumber and yogurt in a small mixing bowl until well incorporated.
- Remove the chicken from the grill to a plate and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Arrange the greens on a large serving platter. Place the chicken breasts atop the greens and drizzle the sauce over and around the chicken. Garnish the chicken with cilantro leaves and serve.
