    You don't have to count fruits or vegetables.

    It's not unusual for me to get several hundred calories a day from fruits and vegetables.

    I was surprised when my co-worker, who's doing WW, told me that fruits, veggies, and even chicken have no points so "you can eat as much of them as you want." Uh, no.

    Other favorites include anything that detoxifies your system, any superfoods, starvation mode, and eating according to your blood type/body type/facial shape.

    what sad, sad soul eats just an egg, spinach and some damn beans and feels satisfied?

    Sometimes I make a quick dinner of a tortilla spread with refried beans and topped with sauteed spinach and a fried egg.

    I'm a happy person, I promise! :)

    That tortilla makes all the difference.

    That carbs make you fat. Too many calories for your body/activity level makes you fat.

    I gotta say that several of those meals are a little normal for me. I don’t eat breakfast so I have breakfast foods for dinner at least once a week. A few days ago it was a cracker barrell pecan pancake and two eggs over easy. Today was a bowl of steamed brocolli and chick peas with salsa mixed in. I don’t eat meat so my meals are simple but creative and I try to stay away from vegan or vegetarian soy products.

    Waffles with peanut butter and blueberries actually doesn't sound that bad though? I might hit it with some extra honey but still, it seems sound in principle.

    Give up loneliness? Are there actually people out there who actively choose loneliness? As an introvert, I might change that one to "stop trying to please everybody" since you extroverts tend to get way too stressed out about what other people think.

    How is fish, carrots, and green beans a 5 minute dinner? Are they eating everything raw? Ditto brown rice - what kind of miracle cooking grains do nutritionists buy that they can cook brown rice in less than 5 minutes?

    I know nutritionists get a bad rap but do you not own a microwave oven? :) All can be zapped in the microwave for under 5 minutes.

    It is impossible to go from regular dry brown rice to edible/cooked brown rice in 5 minutes... a microwave wouldn't do it. If you have pre-cooked brown rice you CAN heat it up in a microwave in a couple of minutes.

    True... but the Trader Joe’s frozen brown rice is darn good, 3 mins and you have 2 cups brown rice. Totally worth it, I haven’t cooked rice the old fashioned way since I discovered it LOL
