  • I can only find the tofu shirataki noodles locally, but they were good with an Italian-style homemade sauce. I will try dry frying them and look for the tofu-less noodles when in Dallas. Thanks for sharing the information!

  • I did the same thing when I started increasing my cardio last summer. It really freaked me out because I have had a DVT and my numbness was in my legs, which is where the blood clot was. My doctor checked on my reflexes, bp, pulse, etc. and said "take B vitamins, you're increasing your exercise and decreasing your food and…

  • I take fresh cherries and the 100 calorie pack of dark chocolate roast almonds. Yummy! Just don't leave the cherry pits for someone to clean up! :)

  • I know how you feel, my last blood work didn't show what I was hoping for either! But I have managed to slowly lower my cholesterol to 187 from a high of 220 something. And my husband just got back a total # of 244, so his doc wanted to put him on meds. We may do that, but for now we asked for three months to try to lower…

  • I've been doing the Fruit and Veggie day at least once a week since I first saw the posting about it, and I have to say that it has made a big difference for my weight loss! Some weeks I think I would have GAINED if it hadn't been for that day. And every day I am getting more and more fruits and vegetables into my diet,…

  • I use plain fat free or lowfat yogurt. Greek yogurt gives the best nutrition boost. I add freshly ground black pepper with the yogurt. Salsa is also great, alone or with the yogurt. Just check the sodium content, the range between brands is bigger than you might think. Also: steamed brocolli with low fat cheese vegetarian…

  • About 2-3 weeks into a renewed emphasis on less food/more exercise I developed a creepy, crawly sensation in my legs. Thought somebody was brushing up against me or something and I kept looking for the bug that I was sure was on me! A visit to my family doctor ruled out anything scary like nerve damage or blood clots (I've…

  • I love this idea! I will do it one day this week. I already eat lots of fruits/veggies, but the idea of eating more of them and leaving out the other stuff appeals to me. Today I have had: mango, avacado, tomatoes, onions, red peppers, orange peppers, apple, green beans and brussel sprouts. I'll have raspberries and greek…

  • I try to eat protein and carbs from whole grains, skim milk and sometimes a bit of fresh fruit. Fruit (especially berries, lower in sugar than some other fruits) with eggs would be a good choice If you have to watch your cholesterol try getting scrambled egg whites or egg white omelets made with lots of veggies, if that is…

  • I like to mix them with brown rice and fresh salsa! Yummy as is, or in a whole wheat tortilla with a tiny amount of lowfat shredded cheese. My newest favorite is a Spicy black bean dip--black beans (cooked with no salt or rinsed if using canned), poblano peppers (2 cups chopped), green onion (1 bunch chopped) tomatoes (1…
