  • Chicken is SO verasatile! It is never boring. So many great ways to make a healthy meal. Tonight I took boneless chicken breast cut it into 1 inch pieces. I sprayed Pam in a non-stick skillet and browned. I added onions toward the end of the chicken cooking. Then I stirred in a can of healthy request cream of chicken soup…
  • I use the Laughing cow spreadable LIGHT swiss for only 35 calories. I put it over the top of a Wasa Multigrain crisp bread for a great snack under 100 calories.

  • Black tea with a teaspoon of 1% milk and 1.5 teaspoons of Splenda. Occasionally I will add a few drops of lem to it - especially if I have a sore throat.
  • The only time you should "Clean the Pipes" is when a doctor prescribes it for a colonoscopy!
  • Two teenage boys, a 4 year old girl, my wife and I. The wife and I eat very healthy as the children do most of the time, but still allowed more leeway than us. Approximately, $100 at Sam's each week and another $100-$125 at the local grocery store. Our grocery bill is high, for one because we feed many teenagers at our…
  • Tomorrow is a new day! Don't get discouraged.
  • My Doc told me start at 1200 calories for 2 wks, then move to 1400 calories - total. He said when I plateau to hit the 1200 calories for another 2wks, then return to 1400, and not to eat back the exercise calories. This is to lose the weight. Once I get to where I want it, I am to eat my calories and go to 1800 calories.…

  • We have a Chinese restaurant in here called Lui's. It has a traditional 'chinese buffet' and then they have a chef in the stir-fry bar. Anything you want can be cooked in the wok per your request while you watch it being cooked. I love it!

  • Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, Dinner, snack Works for me! sometimes my snack between lunch and dinner is a glass of wine while I cook dinner! (My favorite snack!)
  • I have battled with my eating habits for a very long time. When I go out to eat, I have to plan what I am going to eat ahead of time, or be with people that are aware of my fitness goals now. My wife and I usually Split a healthy meal. Today's restaurants a serving is more than enough for two people. Some places it could…
  • Oatmeal is good with a pinch of nutmeg for a change of pace!
  • I'm saving myself for Valentine's day- Cheesecake with my sweetie!
  • I use it pretty regularly. Coffee daily 2-3 teaspoons Occasionally with my low sugar oatmeal Strawberries - a must I bake with it as well. Apple pie is wonderful with Splenda. Cookies don't brown as well as with sugar - you have to spray pam on them toward the end of the baking to brown them if you want them pretty-…
  • Apples are realtively high in natural sugar, hence my guess as to why the oatmeal works better. I would try a sugar free snack (Hunt's Sugar Free Chocolate pudding- 60 calories) or the sugar free popsicle and then go to bed earlier. the equation to health is a simple one: Eat well, SLEEP well, Exercise well= Be well. You…
  • I keep the Mission Carb Balance flour tortillas on hand. (80 calories) I "pan fry" a whole package of turkey bacon at a time and keep it in a ziploc bag in the fridge, and I pre chop iceberg lettuce and keep in tupperware. Just for quick fixes- so I don't go without and then break down to eat fast food because I'm…

  • This sounds scrumptious!
  • Yesterday I made a big ( and I do mean BIG) pot of what I call "Everything Soup". I enter the totals of all the ingredients. Can of this, bag of that, one whole chopped this, and I weigh the ingredients I can such as 17 ounces of ground 95% lean beef.... Once I have it all in, I then determine the number of servings. (This…
