Embarrassing/maybe TMI question -- lactose/ gluten intoleran
My sister was visiting me for an extended Easter break, and she was going on a low-carb diet and wanted me to do it with her for support. I did... to me this was just another way of "eating healthy," as in, mostly chicken, fish, lean meat, veggies, nuts, but then I've also been eating more cheese and eggs than I normally…

Good for you and yummy!
I don't know if any of you know the magic of sweet potatoes but they are amazing. I am in love with these right now. I bake them up and get the flesh out. I mash them up with tons of cinnamon and eat them like that. No butter or sugar, just cinnamon. Now some of you are probably thinking "Ewww, I have to have butter and…

are calories all just calories?
with all the many types of diets out there it almost becomes confusing and more and more complicated. my question is, if you are getting your calories from good carbs, proteins, and fats, and using common sense, eating fruits and veggies, no white flower, sugars, starches, and mostly a balanced healthy diet, is that good…

Cake you can eat no matter the diet!
Quaker Oat's flavoured rice cakes! They're little rice cake patties and me and my mother have been on a strict diet and we got those for snacks/a treat. We eat the caramel flavoured ones and they add near nothing to my 1200 calorie diet, and they're crunchy and delicious. They have tiny mini-cake versions too, and it's 8…

Clean(ish) Eating-Am I doing this right?
I've been gone about a month. Fell completely off the wagon. No motivation to exercise or to eat healthy. And I REALLY had an aversion to counting calories. Gained three pounds, which is not bad, considering how far I fell. I was annoyed with myself the entire time, and was trying to figure out what the hell my problem…

Appetizer suggestions?
It's my turn to bring the snacks to Bible Study this week and I need a suggestion for something healthy to bring. We've done fruit, veggies, popcorn, hummus, chips & salsa, bean dip, and other not so healthy dips. Two other ladies are on MFP and I want to make or buy something we all can eat.

Why I didn’t buy Bananas…
So I was shopping the other day and went to buy some bananas – however – the Chiquita Banana stickers had been replaced by sticker “ads” for MONKEY BALL for the Wii?!?! WTF! Since when did fruit become a billboard! We also turned down asparagus because it too had an ad – for a movie but I don’t recall which one. Really? We…

Carbs Vs. Sugar
So... I am a night time snacker. If I don't snack, I wake up in the middle of the night starving and 'sleep eat'. If I have 'sweets' (ie. low cal cookies, chocolate, etc) I literally can't stop at one. I am trying to stay away from carbs late at night, but then tend to have more of a sweet tooth. Carbs 'fill me up'. My…

Yes, before you freak out and tell me I'm not losing weight the healthy way, please know this: This is NOT for weight loss. I've been having major bowel problems recently.

Rate The O2 Diet
I made the Antioxidant weight-loss soup and it tastes really good. I was surprised to see it was in the MFP data base (160 calories per cup). I was thinking about ordering the O2 Diet Book.

Quinoa Warning
Hey guys! Quinoa is a big favorite here at MFP, but I just want to reinforce the importance of thoroughly washing it before eating! I used to eat it without rinsing, thinking that maybe I just wasn't affected by the saponins. Lately, however, I have had some very painful digestive issues after eating it, even after a quick…

I know fresh is best..... BUT..
If I'm staying UNDER my recommended sodium intake and drinking enough water, then how bad are canned vegetables?? I also eat a lot of frozen, but they aren't as sodium packed. As I said, I know fresh is best. I'm not arguing that. I'd prefer fresh, but clearly there's a convenience in storing and keeping canned and frozen…
