I had never heard of Tatsoi so I googled and found this recipe....this looks yummy and I think I may try it myself: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Tatsoi-and-Warm-Scallop-Salad-with-Spicy-Pecan-Praline-12399

bump....great info on cucumbers

I have had good luck with Gina's recipes.....they have been yummy!

This is what I think but I could be wrong. I think eating low GI really helps with cravings and gives you a more balanced eating.....healthier, fresher foods. Whatever you do though I have found that calories are what really matters. I just didn't want to count them and fought the idea for years that counting calories was…

I appreciate that it is hard for you right now. I have lost weight before on a fast lose diet.....low calorie and vit. b 6 and 12 shots. It was exciting to lose weight so fast but, I actually didn't feel that great. The diet certainly wasn't something I could do long term and I believe I lost a lot of muscle. I gained my…

I absolutely love my Vita-Mix. I even grew up with a Vita-Mix, it was such a cool machine all stainless steel. It is still working (over 4o years old) and my daughter has it. The service department at Vita-Mix are so good....very dependable. I like them so much that I have bought two of my sons Vita-Mixes hoping it will…

Yes the balkan style in the red container is really yummy.

I buy astro as well and the higher the fat content the milder the taste. I also have heard so much about how delicious the fage is and even fat free apparently. I am not a fat free fan anyways usually. You may not want to do this but I do find even 1 tsp. of a really good organic maple syrup sweetens it up a lot.

You know those small chocolate wrappers or chocolate molds may be perfect. I will play with this.

Oh yeah....I want to try this version. I don't use cool whip and some of the ingredients in the other versions. Now to find the pudding. I wonder if there is a make at home version of the pudding.....something from scratch. I will work on that. How many servings did you make?

shoot......so true.......how do you stop with the container in front of you :-) Next time a bowl and a measuring cup and you will be fine,

awe sweet......she sounds like she thinks she has a pretty great mama as well!

Who would think that lettuce wraps would have about 1000 calories in them....really?!?!?!?! You would save quite a few calories by having a cheese burger.

Thanks I love all the citrus flavours with meat.

recipe sites...thanks, actually I have cooked a lot off of gina's website but I had not heard of the other one

I am surprised at how low MPF"S fibre guidelines are set. I think this info is very moderate and a better range: How Much Fiber Do You Need in Your Diet? Although there's no Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for fiber, most health experts agree that we should aim for 25 to 35 grams of dietary fiber each day (a mix of both…

Nice pics...looks yummy. Also good ways of using it vs. corn chips which add up in calories so fast!

Congratulations.....you have worked so hard and done so well!

I don't know if this helps but as it does not specify with weights but: The number of calories that you burn with any type of exercise depends on how much you weigh and your individual metabolism. According to Health Status, if you weigh 150 lb, you can expect to burn about 88 calories walking a 15-minute mile with Leslie.…

I have changed my mind on what I was going to eat so many times now based on logging the calories prior to eating and realizing how high the calories were. The other thing I notice is that many times I will stop and think about something I think I want to eat; and, then determine that if I eat that it is going to cost me a…

The great shrinking woman...congratulations!

with fruit and sliced almonds is my favourite but it is also good mixed in with chopped cucumber, chopped tomato, chopped onion chopped kalamata olives, chopped avocado, maybe a little feta., even some chiffonaded spinach....it is a good way to bulk up the protein in basically a greek salad!

Oh sorry about your toe. You haven't reversed all progress. You are back on track now. Hope the toe gets better quickly!

I am not vegetarian but I do like to eat a few vegetarian meals a week. I like Judith Finlayson's book.....125 best Vegetarian Slow Cooker recipes. I have liked everything I have made from this book.

Anyone interested in joining me on a 3 day green smoothie challenge. I think it will be fun and invigorating to your health. It starts August 15 and is free. She sends out e-mails daily with recipes, ideas, and motivation. This is the letter I got in my in-box. (this is a quote) I just came back from a week of miracles. I…

you are so cute and your hair is adorable........congratulations!

Thanks for posting this....that is so cool! I think anyone who has been overweight can fully relate to the dread of sitting in that chair in front of the full length mirror. My nephew is a hair dresser and he said it is that very mirror that keeps him making good choices with his food......he also doesn't want to be seeing…
