This recipe is taken from Eat Your Way Slim by Rocco Sorace.

Rocco Sorace is an Australian-based inspirational Pilates fitness trainer, DVD presenter and home cook who is proud to announce the launch of his second cookbook, Eat your way Slim.

Eat your way Slim accompanies Rocco's successful fitness DVD range with the aim of helping people understand that healthy eating can be convenient, simple, and most importantly taste great. In fact, Eat your way Slim explores a diverse range of recipes that are easy and stress-free to make.

Rocco states that "being healthy is a lifestyle choice that involves the way you think, eat, shop, and treat your mind and body. It's about getting the connection between all aspects of your life right."

Growing up in Australia with Italian parents, Rocco experienced how important good fresh food is and how food is the nucleus that brings family and friends together.

Rocco has incorporated the SlendierSlim range in his cookbook as it is a low-calorie and low-carb pasta, rice, and noodle range made from an ancient Asian root vegetable called Konjac. SlendierSlim enabled Rocco to lose 5 kilos in 5 weeks – in time for filming his 5th DVD, The Body Transformation Program.

The key to maintaining a healthy life is moderation. Choose a variety of foods when cooking (including protein, complex carbohydrates, and lots of veggies) and of course exercise.

You only have one life and one body.
So enjoy it and start feeling good about you, inside and out.
