    mayonnaise - throw it out. it has no place on a diet!
    Surely this was said in jest? I mean, if not, how sad that you'd not be 'allowed' certain foods. No, no, DEFINITELY said in jest!

    Egg mayo with lots of chives. On every salad. As a topping for crackers, if you eat those. If it's good mayo share it with your friends and family - how much of this stuff did you make?! :noway:

    Put a serious glob in your hair, massage thru to the ends. Put a plastic bag over your hair and wrap in a big towel.
    Leave for a half hour or more. Shampoo out. Instant oil treatment.

    Seriously, try this. It is good for your hair.

    Weird, because I have it regularly and I'm doing just fine. So are a bunch of other people on this site.

    I have tried those "Legalistic" diets where there are certain foods that we must NOT eat. They don't work.
    I eat mayo all the time and I am still losing weight. Actually, I eat most anything but in moderation and I am still doing well.

    I make a dip for vegetables by mixing mayonnaise with curry powder, salt, a little lime juice and some sriracha. It's very popular at parties.

    I tried the hair thing once and just couldn't deal with the smell as I rinsed it out! Hot vinegar, ugh. To make it worse, this was while I was in college, when I lived in the dorms, and so every girl on my hall had to deal with the scent in the bathroom.

    Put it in a jar in the fridge and use it as a dip for french fries or asparagus. Or anything else really. YUM.

    I'm more of a salad cream lass myself but you can do loads of things with mayo for dressings! Make guacamole, mustard, sweet chill dressings (as mentioned). Tuna, sweetcorn, pasta and mayo salads, coleslaw....potato salad...

    :noway: WHOA, sorry, but no, no, no, no. I call foul on anyone putting mayo into guacamole!! Not demonizing any food, but it just doesn't belong in guac! :wink:

    I hear it's good for your hair. (If you're white) But I haven't tried it myself so I can't speak from experience.

    If there is one thing I've learned here in the past 3-4 weeks I've been active on the forums it's that getting healthy and losing weight doesn't mean that something "has no place". That mentality: nothing is off limits, just work it into your goals - THAT is what is making this time different. I had beer last night? Cool. I had a cheeseburger? Cool. I was under my caloric goals? That's what it's all about. I still win.

    Wow! I woke up to more good ideas! Thank you all for helping me!

    I have about a cup of the stuff and I'm not used to having mayo in my house. Nothing wrong with it, but my hubby hates it and I've never cared either way. I would have to say this homemade stuff is soooo much better (in my opinion).

    Thank you! Thank you!
