  • I think because it's a little bigger it's starchier. (sp?) Regular couscous doesn't have the bulk in it to make it super starchy. I'm not sure if you bought it already prepared or if it was dried, but 1/3 of dried makes an easy cup cooked if not more. It's good stuff though, I add spinach, olives, tomatoes, and parsley to…

  • I was going to mention quinoa too, but barley is really good! Get it from the bulk section at the store so you can try it because it's much cheaper than buying a whole box before you know if you like it.

  • All clear liquors are between 65-75 cals/shot. Brown liquors like gold tequilla and the darker or spiced rums are about 100 per shot. Remember tonic can have as much as 120 cals per drink without the booze, so if you want sparkling go with diet tonic or club soda. Everyone else's suggestions are great!

  • Another good thing to think about...for every 15 minutes of exercise you do, you should be drinking 8oz of water. This helps your body recover quicker. Also, if you weigh less after your workout, it's because you're dehydrated. I'm a personal trainer and that is what I recommend to my clients.
    in drinking too much water? Comment by honeybee709 September 2010
  • It's VERY hard to drink too much water. Sometimes people think that if you retain water it means you're not drinking enough. It's actually the complete opposite. If you don't drink enough water, your body holds onto every bit of water that comes in your system, even if it's through food; therefore, retaining water. When…
