Artificial flavorings, can they be okay?
I've been a fan of Quaker's Instant Weight Control oatmeal packets for the longest now. They're basically a serving of instant oatmeal, but with artifical flavoring (cinnamon, banana bread, maple, etc) & zero calorie sweetener added. I've been doing lots of research about processed foods & the like lately, and now things…

No--- it's mostly the shock factor in finding out things like "a few table spoons of peanut butter= 190 calories?…

Salads Suck...
I am going to Frankie and Benny's tonight for a meal out....I have already chosen what I am having, Crab Cake, Spag Bol and Chocolate Pancake (all from the lighter menu). So I have hardly any calories for lunch. I went to Waitrose and had a Tuna Nicoise Salad, thinking the potato would fill me up....noooooope. So the point…

I usually do up to an hour of exercise a day; total energy loss from that equals probably around 1700 calories. However I have a very small appetite and struggle to eat enough - if I go into minus calories I don't…

Raspberry Ketones, Doctor Oz, and Women's Health
I am currently writing a paper about these three topics! Mainly, my argument (in nicer, more academic wording) is that Dr Oz is causing all this hype on what he calls 'miracles' when really they don't work like he advertises. I believe he is giving women false hope, making them think this will save their life and they…

What you eat does make a difference
The source of the calories you eat makes a difference. The type of food you eat makes a difference in how much you weigh, how you feel and your health. There is a movie about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that is normally a pay-per-view. This week (through Ocotober 17) you can watch it for free at…

Making beef jerky
I'm making jerky but I'm a bit confused about counting sodium for marinade. I want some hot sauce, worcester and salt for preservation in the marinade, but I know it won't all be absorbed.
