Anyone else notice this?
I've been using Mission Super Soft Carb Balance Whole Wheat Fajita Flour Tortillas, 8 oz, 8 Count for about a year. Whenever I logged them I always used the green checked off of the list and they were 45 calories. Well now apparently they're only 40 calories. I've noticed this with a few of my foods. I am wondering if this…

Cutting Out Sugar
It's no secret that cutting out sugar, especially refined sugar, is beneficial for weight loss and overall health. In the last three days (going on four), I have made an extra-conscious effort to limit my sugar intake. I've even reduced portion sizes of other carbs. What surprises me is how drastic and immediate the effect…

For the love of Produce...
I’ve been a produce *kitten* for years and years. My ‘Apple thing’ is notorious among friends and family. That’s the one enduring phase (current obsessions are Koru, Pacific Rose, and HoneyBee apples)- in addition to my squash fixation (kabocha, mostly, but a well roasted spaghetti squash also makes me swoon.) I love…

What are you craving? Food porn photos get bonus points. I'd demolish a family-sized bag of Salt and Vinegar Lay's potato chips. At least until my tongue was raw.

How do you get your potassium?
I relatively eat a lot of potatoes, bananas and beans, but according to MyFitnessPal, this accounts to less than 1500mg of the daily 3500. I wonder if some people here take potassium supplements? It is hard to get 2000mpg K supplements by caplets. Going in powder might be a better option; 10g of potassium bicarbonate…

Eating Out and Diabetes

I've always been able to rise to the challenge. This diagnosis is my greatest health challenge and it's a tough one. Prior to…
