It might seem healthy- but it's not!
I just made a mistake. Feeling snackish while shopping this afternoon around 3:30, I decided to get a smoothie. I figured that was a good choice, versus the other snacks I could have gotten. I also made sure to get the small size, and to make sure I didn't get one that was made with ice cream. However, I didn't realize…

Jelly
Hey! Ok, this might sound like a silly question but I'm getting confused over it! When preparing jelly crystals, does the calorie value change according to how much you dilute the mixture? i.e. If I use less water (to make a thicker jelly), is the calorie content higher per portion?
-
portion control
I was having a very difficult time with portion control. Even though I like healthy food, I still ate it in unhealthy portions. I wasn't losing any weight because of this. So I decided to eat Lean Cusines for dinner to learn real portion control. It wasn't easy, believe me! I would measure out my bran cereal in the morning…

New diet for me
I'm thinking seriously of a nutritional program that I've seen mentioned on two t.v. shows, The Doctors & The Dr. Oz Show. It's been recommended to not eat any meat that comes from any animal that walks on four feet, so I guess that leaves chicken and fish (no brainer, right)? Since I really don't care for much fish unless…

Energy booster? Any supplements?
To give some background...Over the last 6 months, I've drastically changed my eating habits - for the better! I lost about 10 lbs even though my focus was more on eating healthier than losing weight. Now I've hit a wall where I can't lose anymore weight. It seems like I can eat horrible or great and either way I weigh 210…

Gluten Free Bread-Suggestions
I am looking for a good tasting gluten free bread. The ones we have tried so far have been, well, not good! Do you have a favorite brand? Do you toast it? My husband has major gluten allergies, as well as 2 of my 3 kids. We are switching to primarly gluten free at home. Thanks for your suggestions. ~Sami

Yes that is me that is editing your food entry and not leaving msgs saying what I changed. Sometimes the serving size will be right *i.e. 1…
