Keeping produce fresh...help!
Hi! Live up here in Buffalo and half the time (or more in winter) the produce is already half gone bad. Does anyone have any tricks/tips on keeping veggies/fruits fresh?

Find foods that taste good and are good for you.
Find foods that taste good and are good for you. How many times have you heard something like, "If it tastes good, it's bad for you, and if it tastes bad, it must be good for you." People tend to stick to their repertoire of foods they like, and when they make changes they mourn what they give up. But guess what? The world…

What is Water?
When you tally up the amount of water you drank at the end of the day... what are you including? Plain ole water (clean water as my doc calls it)? Or do you count hot tea, water w/ flavor packets, etc? I've had a few bouts with kidney stones over the years and my Urologist says that when he tells patients to drink at least…

Anyone an Impulse Eater?
I like to classify myself as an impulse eater. I'm not an emotional eater or a binge eater. I will just have an impulse to eat something - take out, whatever and that will be my meal. I think I'm a bit of an overeater too - I grew up on big meals and no snacks. That's another thing... I've never really been a snacker. Oh &…

How do I eat healthy??
I am completely at a loss. I was never raised to eat healthy. Actually as a child my favorite food was mac and cheese and we had it every meal. I didn't like veggies and I didn't like very much meat.

Do you savor every bite now?
Ever since I started my program of dieting and exercise, I eat a LOT slower, and enjoy every bite. I chew each bite longer, and savor what few sips of Pepsi I allow myself every few days. The food almost actually tastes BETTER than before. And the Pepsi actually doesn't taste so good..... which is good! :)

Fast food is gross and in an ideal world none of us would EVER eat it. I have a hard time avoiding it though and would like some suggestions on how to do so. I travel for work. More than 50% of the time I am working in another state and living out of a hotel w/ no refrigerator. Working a 15 hour day is not unusual. Under…

Going out to eat at restaurants
For the past month and half I have been "watching" what I eat, avoiding Fast-Food row and eating food with nutritional labels. Those really help out with the calorie count and such. When it comes to eating at restaurants the majority do not provide nutritional facts about their dishes. I live in the West Hollywood/Beverly…

Carb/Fat/Protein Percentages
What do you have yours set @ to lose weight? I think I messed mine up trying to tweak them and when I went back to what I thought was the original settings that doesn't look right either. I was thinking it should be 20% Carbs/25% Fat /55% Protein (percentage from daily calories).

EVIL Temptation of Fast Food Restaurants
