Perfect Diet Chip Maker.

The Best Potato Chip Maker Device for Low Calorie Healthy Potato Chips! Do you love Chips but not the calories!

Well then this product is for you! This product is easy to use and the product manual is light on instructions because it self explanatory. Slice potatoes, dry slices out on paper towel about 10 mins, place on trays, and microwave! Thats It! The cooking time varies according to microwaves models, so test the cooking time to get best results. It’s also true that – again according to each individual microwave – chips in the middle of the tray may cook faster than the chips on the outer rim on the tray. Again, this isn’t a problem for me – it takes only 5 seconds to open the microwave, and either remove the finished chips or rotate the middle & outer chips for more even cooking. This is a high recommended device for perfect low calorie healthy chips.

Additional Tips to Get Yummy Tasty Potato Chips:

• Much easier to add salt/seasoning before the chips have cooked, as salt will stick to the damp surface better.

• When first using your chip trays, start with the manual’s suggested cooking time, and add more time in 30 second increments, checking often. There is a place in the manual for making a note of your preferred cooking times for each type of vegetable chip – it’s worth taking the time to do this & record your results. Once you have the timing worked out, cooking will be much less fussy & you’ll be able to produce chips quickly & efficiently.

• Chips that have started to brown during cooking will be much crispier and will STAY much crispier – non-browned chips will still be delicious, but lose a little of their *snap* over time.

• To add additional flavor use olive oil mister to lightly spray the chips before cooking. Additional seasoning possibilities are garlic oil; fresh rosemary mixed in with the salt; BBQ spices on sweet potato chips; etc.

High-fiber diets may blast away visceral fat,

the health threatening stuff that lies deep beneath the pudginess.  Using CT scans to measure fat at the beginning and end of a five-year study period, researchers at Wake Forect University School of Medicine found that people who ate more soluble fiber-10 grams a day was the magic number-gained less dangerous belly fat than those who didn’t.

Exercise helped even more.  Beyond the belly-fat link, fiber is a great weight lose weapon because it helps fill you up.

How to get 10 grams of fiber; Start your day with a high fiber one bar

for breakfast or a cup of oatmeal with a large chopped apple; lunch or dinner have 1/2 cup of black beans with whole gain rice.

And for dinner her are some high fiber recipes.

Most of us find ourselves looking for that late afternoon snack, especially during the work week. A bag of frozen blueberries, a protein bar or a frozen banana, are some great snack ideas to bring to work but every once in a while we want something more crunchy, and less sweet. On these occasions a small serving of chips usually fits the bill.

Kettle Baked Chips are really good, and of course, tortilla chips, fiber one bar are a favorite among most. But recently there is another chip that lives up to all expectations for a healthier version of the potato chip – Food Should Taste Good Chips.

Ah, the name says it all! How could a food lover pass a display of chips in the health food aisle that is made by a company called Food Should Taste Good? Let’s face it. Much of the stuff that is marketed as healthy doesn’t taste good. Some of it is flavorless, and some is just downright un-yummy and tastes like cardboard. The Food Should Taste Good Chedder and Baffalo flavor Chips are delicious and many diet goers are raving about how tasty they are. If the name of the company is a marketing gimmick, it is definitely working!

These chips are definitely appropriately named. They are very good, and a serving is only 4 weight watchers points plus points! The Buffalo flavor, which was, very Buffalo-ey but not what you’d call “hot” yet very delicious. These chips are made with all natural ingredients and they are baked, not fried, a must if you want to keep your arteries free-flowing, right? They are also free from trans-fats, cholesterol, GMOs and gluten. They are low in sodium and certified Kosher. Wow! That’s certainly a lot for one bag!

In addition to the chedder and very buffalo-ey Buffalo, there are also six other varieties including Sweet Potato, multi-grain, Olive, Jalapeno – and (did they dare?) chocolate! Each one ounce serving of these chips that are very deserving of their name has 140 calories and three grams of fiber.  These Low Calorie Healthy Chips can be found online at Amazon.com.
