Diet tips for heavy carb addict?
I LOVE carbs. I'd say it's become quite the addiction. Pasta, potatoes, any kind of dough, you name it. Especially things like pasta with alfredo sauce, ravioli etc. Another problem is I'm not a huge fan of vegetables. I eat things like peppers, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers etc. but there are MANY vegetables I don't like…

Which foods' nutritional values have surprised you?
I admit that before I started on my plan to get healthier, I didn't take much notice of nutritional information. As I began tracking on here i've been really surprised by the reality of some foods' content! What about you? My examples would be: 1 - just how much fat is in nuts, particularly brazil nuts (and if that's the…

What Foods Do You Keep Stocked?
These are foods that I love and that keep me honest. I included the name brands because not all brands are created equal, and a good product makes all the difference. For example, I didn't like apples until a friend introduced me to Fuji apples - they're crispy every time. I also grouped the foods that I eat together as a…

Really good genuine points here about when it comes to weight and food. Read this and let me know if you think its child abuse to not feed your kids healthy foods?

Food Scale?
Hi Everyone, I'm looking into getting a good food scale to weigh portions out since I find it difficult to eyeball, and I was wondering if anyone who has one really finds it all that useful. I don't want to spend the money and then not use it! So, how often do you use it and what do you use it most for if you have one?

What a little tweak in Macro's can do!
Ugh, for the last two weeks I have had to PRY myself out of bed only to land on the couch and veggitate for another hour or so. However, once I was finally up, I felt heavy and sluggish all day. I immediately thought this was food related, because every time I experiment with new eating habits, I get weird side effects.…

Question about going out to eat.
So, we all know that there are days when we're invited to go out to eat, or we just decide "I want something to eat". My question to you is what do you do about calorie counting?

Chewable Calcium with Vita D
Like so many other older women, my doctor recommended Calcium with Vita D. I've always taken this in pill form, but most recently bought a jar of chewables. I took my first this morning, and after so long without sugar carbs, was shocked by how over-sweet they were. I looked up the chewables here on MFP and it says no…
