I do not know WHAT I was doing yesterday that I did not get this covered. Everyday, I have a gallon pitcher here at work that I fill (Not all of the way full, a little over 1/2.) with my water for the 8 hours that I am here. Everyday, I know that when it is empty that I have had my water for the day. Well for some reason,…

Wanted: tricks to filling up / not eating as much

Source Dessert Yogurt
I have a question... I bought a box of those Dessert Yogurts and it says as little as 35 calories per serving. Does that mean different flavours have different calories? Yesterday I ate the Cherry Fondue one it was was 35 calories but this morning I am looking up the Lemon one and it says 50 calories. Is that correct?

Please Help me find a book.
Last year I was on a Tour bus and one of our clients had a book about portions or calorie count. Anyway... It had photos comparing foods (for example 1 cup of popcorn versus 6 crackers). It was basically a picture book with nutritional comparisons... and portion comparisons. I hope this makes sense.... I've been looking…

What do you think about "Fatlossforidiots?"
I looked at that diet "Fat loss for idiots" and I am very unsure. Fad diets? I looked into it but it is strange. Any comments about this would be great. Jamie

popcorn?
my family pops popcorn at least once a week. I use a stir crazy popper and use a fairly generous amount of canola oil to pop it in. Then I salt it, but add no butter or anything else. How bad is this? I can't seem to find much about it in my diet books I have. I can't stand airpopped-no flavor-and if I don't use enough oil…

About ground beef...

I Have Seen The Light!
I've been reading on how we must eat all our caloies if we plan to lose pounds, but that just didn't jive with my logic; therefore, the scientist/rebel in me had to see for myself. I was eating no more than 1500 cal/day, regardless of exercise. Prior to this I was hitting 1800-1900 and just making sure I was covered with…
