      Hi Jo Ella, It's really hard to fight that mid-section weight gain! Sometimes, we can't control how our bodies age; a lot of that is genetic. But it does really help not to be carrying extra weight. You might try mixing up the kind of exercise you do and incorporating something a little more rigorous if your doctor says it's okay. As far as recipes we have thousands on the site. Look for healthy versions the the kinds Of foods you already like. For example if you like Italian, try our plant-based pasta and pizza recipes. If you like Asian food, try our tofu and vegetable stir-fries. If you like comfort food, like casseroles, we have healthier versions of those, too. Explore our Recipes Galore page for lots of ideas: http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes-galore/
