I follow the Engine 2 diet and don't find it restrictive at all. I find it healthy and agree with what kpal73 says in the above quote.

I am diabetic and have to count carbs and just in general lose weight...it isn't always easy but it is easier with a little help from your friends. Please add me to your friends list if you would like. ♥

Your one tbs to one tbs would make it very thin but sometimes thin is good just depending on what you are using it for. The suggested amount is 2 tbs powder to 1 tbs water. This makes a really good paste (just like regular peanut butter). I use both the chocolate flavor peanut butter powder and the regular. Both are great.…

This recipe looks and sounds great....Skinny Mexican Casserole http://skinnymom.com/2012/10/26/skinny-mexican-casserole/?_szp=159503

I haven't tried this recipe but it really looks good...:smile: Quinoa and Herb Burgers... http://www.campbellskitchen.com/recipes/recipedetails?recipeid=61199&fm=internal_search

I am thinking the same thing about trying the PB2. I personally would not add any more wet ingredients. I would just mix the pb2 into it's peanut butter form with the amount water that would make it like the regular peanut butter. That should do the trick because you already have the oil in the recipe. I am diabetic so I…

This is one of my favorites: So Many Veggies Salad Sue Solana's original recipe The veggies, salad dressing, and type of cheese can all be changed to your liking. You can use this recipe just for a guide line or meal idea. Ingredients 1 cup broccoli florets chopped 1 1/2 cup cauliflower (I had the 3 different colors, it…

I just do the simple and it is very satisfying to me. 1/2 cup plain non fat yogurt (Greek yogurt if you want it thick like a Wend'y's Frosty) 1/2 cup (or more if you desire) frozen fruit (blueberries or mango or cherries etc...) 1/2 tsp vanilla extract sweeten with your choice of sweetener Just put in blender and blend…

I'm not sure what type of white rice you are using it could be instant but the rice I use is just plain white long grain rice. I just measured 100 g of it and it measures out to 1/2 cup. 1/2 cup of this rice uncooked will make 1 cup of cooked rice. Hope this helps....

I would think it would be cooked. But you can get any food and nutrition info from the USDA website. I use this a lot with MFP to confirm some of the entries in the database. http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/

a good alternative to spaghetti pasta is spaghetti squash and also there is are Shirataki noodles. I have tried both and like them. You just have to remember it isn't pasta and it will have a slightly different texture but it is a good alternative. My favorite of the two is the squash.

I have been taking 500mg of Magnesium a day for several years. If I forget to take it for more than 3 days or so in a row, my nerve pain starts up and I quickly head for the magnesium bottle and start taking it again to make the nerves calm down. I have read there are more benefits like helping sleeping problems and…

I finally did by drinking herb tea flavored water. I just fill a quart size bottle with water and then put a tea bag in. I use Celestial Seasonings herbal teas that are caffeine free. Black Cherry Berry, True Blueberry and Country Peach Passion are some of my favorites. Lemon Zinger is a good one too. The tea gives just…
