Mushrooms and garbanzo beans. They fill me up. I'm thinking about hardboiling some eggs to have ready for salads. I do like them, but I never have them ready when I want a salad.

There is a great deal of confusion about this issue. My husband and I have been debating it. http://www.eatingrules.com/2011/05/introduction-to-sugar/ It seems to me like the scientists are saying sugar is sugar. However, milk, fruits and vegetables may have other redeeming nutrients and are better for you because of that…

While I've always enjoyed them - garbanzo beans is a great addition to a salad - it fills you up, adds protein with no sugar. That and mushrooms may be my new favorite foods

http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/diet-tips/sugar-wise-how-fruit-stacks I've been really worried about fruit as well. I can have 24 grams of sugar a day. If I have an apple, I consume half of my allowance. 5 baby carrots are 5 grams of sugar. I was reading an article that suggested midmorning snack of 5 baby carrots and…

I know, I screwed up breakfast. I had oatmeal with 2% milk and a banana. I've exceeded my sugar allowance by 8 grams for the day. I'm a vegetarian . I've been looking but there are few vegetarian foods that don't have a few grams of sugar. even vegetables for a salad. My calories are okay, but I guess I'm done eating for…

I like it. I confess to only using it in coffee. But I think it is the safest of the artificial sweeteners.

Caffeine withdrawl causes horrible headaches. It isn't only from coffee, but if you gave up pop too you could have it.

I'm a vegetarian and I also use Morningstar and Boca products (e.g, soy based vege burgers, hot dogs, bacon etc). I am on 1200 calories and often go over on Protein.

You look awesome. I have a lot of weight to lose too. How did you do it without lose skin?

I would discuss this with my doctor if I were you. But eating healthy foods and getting safe exercise is fine. I'm not sure the goal should be to lose weight. I do know people that did lose weight - but it was because of nausea, not because they intended to. And Congratulations!

I don't always, but when I do I don't feel guilty about it.

I like it with Salsa. It is great that way. It also makes a great salad dressing. Maybe add a touch of french dressing. It is great.

I found the point value of many restaurants in Myfittnesspal. Sometimes you can goggle the restaurant and get nutritional information on all of the food. Dottie's Weight Loss Zone also has lists of restaurants. If you can't find the restaurant - I would order food that can easily be counted. If I think we are going to go…

You know there are many different opinions on when you eat. I lost 50+ lbs on Weight Watchers. My counselor there pointed out that when you eat your metabolism keeps going so that it doesn't really hurt to eat late. That was her educated opinion. Others say never eat late. I would say if you are hungry - you have calories…

My kids recommended Mrs. Butterworth's Maple syrup that is sugar free 20 calories for 1/4 cup. I just use a little and it gives a great maple flavor.

Finally then, after potential parents have weighed the age factor in terms of conceiving and carrying a pregnancy to term, they may be comforted to know that a child born to older parents does have advantages. In some studies that have controlled for social factors and parity, such children do better at school than those…

Hi! I'm an octo lacto vegetarian which means I still eat dairy and eggs. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2007/07/vegetarian-recipes.html This is a good site that my daughter sent to me with lots of low calorie vegetarian meals. We sometimes use Morningstar products as they are fast and easy. Good products to take to a picnic or…
