I've noticed that when you add onions & garlic to any vegetable, they taste good:)

This is my latest obsession: beet greens! Before we met, I was struggling to get the RDI of potassium. This was really important to me, since I have high blood pressure. It lessens the effect of sodium and, while you can restrict some of your sodium intake, sodium is in virtually everything! Now that I've met beet greens,…

I believe that chocolate is Mother Nature's way of saying she loves us:) Have you heard of Dole's banana and strawberry dippers? I have an MFP friend that's totally addicted to them and they fit well into her calories.

I haven't seen any posts here advocating that people go "whole hog overnight", but thanks for the reminder for people who are going from almost no fiber to gradually increase their fiber intake! I do find it helpful to commit to a certain number of servings, just like a commit to a certain number of exercise minutes and…

FlaxMilk, you're in, just because you're funny and has anyone ever told you that you resemble an apple? Better be careful in here, someone might eat you;)

Delaroom, have you tried roasted sweet potatoes, carrots or beets yet? Hopefully, they wouldn't trigger your sugar cravings, but they all taste like candy!

Here are a couple of useful links (they need to be copied and pasted into your browser). This one shows exactly what is a serving of many common fruits & veggies: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/printpages/MyPlateFoodGroups/Vegetables/food-groups.vegetables-counts.pdf This one gives an overview of the health benefits of…

Jestinia brings up an important point for people not used to eating fiber rich foods! When I started, I didn't take that into account and had some very crampy, bloated & gassy days! It passed (no pun intended;) within a couple of weeks, but I wish I'd slowly increased my intake instead. So, I recommend that you gradually…

I think the easiest, least time consuming meal (next to a smoothie) to make is a salad! I like your idea of a chicken sausage salad. I buy a lot of salad greens every week, so I never have an excuse to not make a salad. Just wash your greens (or splurge on prewashed) add some protein (i.e. chicken sausage, pumpkin seeds,…

LOL! I was gonna do the Stuart Smalley line, but you^^^beat me to it! I love that I walk out into the world every day determined to spread more love & joy and I DO! Btw, so I don't mislead any young people, this is a TBT pic from when I was 21;)

Welcome back, Annie! This is my 2nd time around and I'm finally back down to the weight I left off at in 2012. You're not alone. Many of us here use food to manage our feelings. I came back with a whole new attitude: this needs to be my last weight loss journey. I need to be healthy as soon as possible. Then, I started…

I thought I was eating "pretty healthy", before I started logging calories again. Every week, I would get a bag of Trader Joe's Wasabi Almonds (2380 calories) and a dozen Roasted Seaweed Snacks (720 calories) and snack on them at night. My total "healthy snack" calorie count for the week: 3100 calories! That's 2.5 days…
