So maybe it's a good midday snack to prevent me from going nuts from hunger and buying Ben and Jerry's? :) Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Any "natural" brand should be fine. Don't spend a lot on fancy "no stir" varieties, because it really just takes 2-3 seconds to stir peanut butter. A lot of the natural varieties in my city are located in a refrigerated aisle near the cream cheese and butter.

Okay, I have just about zero scientific knowledge about this kind of thing, but I know pigs (AND cows AND chicken) are fed lots of corn... Maybe it finds its way into meat?

I have gluten and moderate lactose intolerance. My husband is a vegetarian and I've been avoiding non-natural sweets, so yeah I guess I'm on that diet! :) Sometimes I eat pork, but it makes me feel like a bad Jew.

Once we become adults, our lactase enzymes that break down lactose decrease, for some of us more than others; much of it is related to ethnicity. (I have mostly Finnish heritage, and I saw something that said Finnish people tend to notice lactose intolerance around age 20, which is when I noticed...crazy stuff!) There is a…

It's sooo hard though! Thankfully, you're probably avoiding the lunch buffet and will just be served one plate. I cannot resist piling on all the creamy curries, and I'm a little lactose intolerant to boot. :)

You should ask about which dishes have cream in them. Dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer (spinach with cheese) usually have heavy cream. (And, for this reason, are very tasty!) Also, Indian food tends to use a lot of ghee, which is clarified butter. Maybe you can ask your server which dishes are lighter, or…

It's definitely stressful at first! I lost a lot of weight at first because I didn't know what I could eat, and I mainly stuck to rice crackers and hummus. It's daunting, but you can do it! My advice is to first find some G/F Bread and pasta (even if relying on them for every meal isn't much of a weight-loss strategy..).…

I'm not a vegan, but I enjoy vegan/veg meals, and I'll swear by any book written by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. I own most of their books, and have learned a lot about cooking from them. They both wrote the ultimate, go-to vegan bible, called Veganomicon. It has a little bit of everything in there. It…

Hey Anjella- I'm gluten-intolerant as well, and at first, I lost weight eating a g/f diet, but I've been exercising less and was recently able to eat more of the starchy g/f bread when my food budget got less tight (that stuff is worth its weight in gold at the register!) instead of eating veggie curries w/ brown rice like…

http://imgur.com/mVzwG This always runs through my head if someone questions what/how much I'm eating. You know know what you're doing; maybe they're just jealous and need a moment to feel superior.

You should be proud of everything you've accomplished so far! Three months is a long time to be tracking your calories. This was one overeating/junk food session. ONE. Perhaps you used to eat this on a regular basis, and *most of the time* you no longer eat this. (Some people even recommend occasional "cheat days" to…
