I have started a Slim Fast diet, and it's working for me so far. I see lots of comments regarding the concerns, which I myself used to have, until I looked into it more. I have my reasons - many of which are personal so I won't share lest my reasons for choosing and not just my choice be criticized. But I do want to share…

Homemade baked goods CAN be terrible - if using traditional recipes. I always use WAY less sugar than called for with quick breads (cookbook says 1 1/4 cup sugar for muffins. I use 1/3 cup) and find anything purchased at a store is worse than mine in calorie content. But mostly I make breads - and for those, it depends on…

thanks for the tips, all! i did get a cosco membership - don't have one really close, but I was able to join online and buy the gift cards to help with the price next month. And I did buy the more expensive plan so I could switch out for meals i look and use frozens. having some bars and muffins for grab and go is a good…

Good afternoon, all! I am a Nutrisystem newbie - day 3 on my "FreshStart" program today. I don't have 100 pounds to lose - but close. about 80-90. and it looks like basically all the activity in this group is on this thread, so I'm joining. :) I was trying to just count calories and eat healthy and etc., but my life is…

I am 41, 8 pounds into a 78 pound goal. just started in january.

I'm aiming for 1200, too. But don't look at my diary for good advice! It's not been a great start. Right now I'm sadly drinking carnation instant breakfast once a day. ha. all that sugar. I anticipate seeing some improvements in the next few weeks - trying to be gracious with myself so that perfectionism doesn't make me…

that's where I am, too. Well - where I should be. Off to a rocky start. lol BUT... the goal is to lose about 80 pounds and 1200 calories is enough for me to feel full when I make good choices (I haven't made good choices yet this year...). So here I am. :)

I love rice, but as others have noticed - not really a lot of nutrients. White rice is basically nothing but starch. So if you are on a restricted calorie diet already, it isn't a good choice. Brown rice will be a better option. I visited China when I was in college and the girls there told me that when they go on diets…

The "good" diets have a couple things in common - "real" food (e.g., chicken or beans and not fast-food burgers, strawberries and not candy, whole-grain breads or natural starches like potatoes and not poptarts, etc.) and lots and lots of veggies (which are low in calories and high in fiber and nutrition). But some people…
