¼ cup olive oil

2-3 cloves garlic

½ tsp. xanthan gum (thickener)

½ tsp. agave

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

¼ cup water

Blend all ingredients in blender and you have a nice dip for cooked or raw veggies. It can also be drizzled on meat, seafood, or salads. This recipe will make enough for several servings, and leftovers can be stored in a jar in fridge for later use.

balsamic dip, healthy recipe, Recipe of the week

At 368 pounds and borderline diabetic, my doctor suggested bypass or lap band surgery. I was 65, had at least 100 pounds to lose and arthritic knees. I lost about 30lbs. in 6 months on my own, but it was very up and down. Then I followed Go Figure’s plan and lost over 100lbs! I’ve gone from pant size 52 to 38, and size 4XL to L. I can now mow the yard and do many things I could never do at my previous weight. I am now on maintenance to keep the weight from ever coming back. *Actual client.
