Such a timely post. Last week I had to meet people at Cozymel's which is loaded with just about every possible fattening item on the menu. I did a little research and it is suggested that beef fajitas are the healthiest things to eat at a mexican restaurant. If you can get them to substitute the tortillas for lettuce cups,…

Today I quartered grape tomatoes, diced cucumbers, added a quarter avocado, about 1/4-1/2 cup plain yogurt (greek preferrably) with salt and pepper. Was very filling and yummy. Also, quartered grape tomatoes with a 1/4 cup feta cheese drizzed with 1 T olive oil and 1 T balsamic vinegar. For this week's menu, I've cut out…

They do have taste buds though and some like some things more than others. Mine won't eat bananas or strawberries. They love tomatoes, rice, couscous, salad, etc. There are items they…

I totally agree - it's all about balance and being aware of what you're putting in vs. what you're working off. The key is to enjoy yourself and enjoy life. I LOVE food and there's no way I can live on plain salads and veges my whole life. I do eat organic, but that's just my choice for many a reason. Today, I knew I was…

I don't crave or eat candy if it's in my house. I actually kind of hoard it and hide it from me and everyone else, but never eat it - it's the most bizarre thing. Drives my husband nuts because he'll be eating the last of something and I'll say something to him about eating it all and he's like, "are you kidding, it would…
