Carbs keep chasing me
Confession: addicted to carbs! I went shopping to try and stray away from all of the bad carbs, and I think I did a pretty good job. I got home, unpacked, and had a great day of healthy eating and reducing the amount of carb intake. This morning I woke up and had a bowl of oat cluster cheerios, and it all went downhill…

Confused about protein intake

Dairy in your diet
Last night I watched a special on eating healthy and losing weight. I thought I'd pass this tip on. It was found that when you eat a lot of low-fat dairy it may help you lose weight. Apparently when the food you eat mixes with the dairy in your stomach and moves into the intestine, it becomes a "soupy" mixture and the…

The Magic Bullet!
For all you fruit smoothie lovers this thing will work so well. I bought it at Costco - the whole kit & caboodle for $50.

I use frozen fruit (strawberries, melon, blueberries, peaches) regular…

Drinking ALL that water.....
Hello. I know it will make loads of a difference if I drink the amount of water that is suggested, the 8 glasses. I am having a hard time doing that. Is it acceptable to count things such as ice tea, crystal light, and other drinks that don't have all the calories and are pretty much flavored water? If I shouldn't do that,…
