More about dressing appropriately - you may wanna do it in layers, in case you get hot...take pieces off until you settle on a temperature you like. You'll be a little chilly when you start but once you get moving, you will warm up! You do NOT wanna sweat a lot when you're out in the cold, cuz it can be very uncomfy when…

Fresh fruits or tea eggs!

Black Rice! I'm Asian so this is a godsend...I can't NOT eat rice, but replacing white rice with black rice has instantly relieved my calories. Instead of eating close to 400 calories just from white rice in ONE meal, it's now like 80 calories. Big difference.

I'm a bit sad that I don't have accurate measurements for when I was at my goal weight! I didn't know how to measure correctly then...for instance, I always thought "hips" meant to measure at the hip bone - it's actually more of a butt measurement :S So my butt is way bigger than I originally thought it was! Height: 5'2"…

It isn't a big issue to lie about your weight to me, and I never could relate to the stereotype in movies and TV that you NEVER ever ask a woman her weight XD Perhaps because of the stereotype, I grew up to find it ridiculous to hide...but at the same time, it may also just be that I grew up in an area/community where…

I like the taste, but I also drink the ones that are mixed a little with grape juice :) I find it to be really really refreshing. You can find tons of it at Asian groceries. Aloe is also a laxative, so that is why it helps with your digestion, I'm guessing. Not that I'm complaining, I like the stuff =)

I run in to this problem often here on MFP, that homemade/ethnic food is usually hard to find...especially since we can customize that to be so many different things. So what I recommend you do is to log each item on your plate separately, if you can't find them all together. Instead of logging "sauteed broccoli with fried…

Neckbone boiled with daikon/Japanese raddish :) The neckbone is SUUUPER cheap, like 70cents per pound or so. Leave it in a crockpot to cook in water, and the flavor comes out of the bone...it tastes soooo good...the long cook makes it fall off the bone, so it's extremely tender as well. The daikon are cut in quarters and…

"Pizza Pie" I'm from NYC, everyone from here refers to an entire pizza as a pizze pie, or just a "pie"...people say it in conversation, and they write it on signs (like, $10 pie in the window of a pizza place). I think NJ people also say this, but anyone else from out of state think its hilarious that it's called a pizza…

Regarding bitterness - the youth of the tea leaves determines the bitterness. The older it is before it's harvested, the more bitter! This is more for tea elitists, but if you get the chance to try grade 1 (Emperor Green Tea, like this one from Long Jing http://www.teaspring.com/Emperor-Long-Jing.asp ) or grade 2, you will…

I've heard old people telling me something similar. They say to drink something warm - not hot! - which does include something like tea or boiled/microwaved water. The reasons they give me: - the heat will help melt the grease you just ate from your meal, so that it doesn't cling to the insides of your body. You will be…

I think all you can do, in a practical sense, is replace unhealthy sweet snacks with healthier sweet snacks. Your body wants something sweet? It doesn't have to be a white chocolate or a milk chocolate bar, try to get accustomed to Dark chocolate. This has less sugar in it, and antioxidants; they say it's good for the…
