Also, Udi's frozen pizza is the best I've found so far. When you cook it a little bit more than the box requires, the crust gets nice and crispy-chewy like a regular pizza crust.

Hello! I am celiac, diagnosed almost a year ago. I have found that being gluten free is amazingly compatible with my reduced calorie life. It means I never feel deprived when I pass on the bread basket. ;) Amy's makes great GF foods -- the frozen mac and cheese is delicious. Their soups are great too, my favorite is the…

I have one and it is in my drawer...

The shoe size thing is funny -- totally unexpected, but definitely a "side effect" of weight loss!

Maximize protein, fiber, and to an extent, fat. Minimize carbs, which do fuel your body but too quickly... they end up leaving you hungry. Also keep a few "flavor heavy" items around the house for your snacky moments. Like pickled things... Also, drink a glass of water when you feel hungry after dinner and see if that…
