  • Greek Tabbouleh has a LOT of calories surprisingly.
  • Crabstick, cucumber, soy or ponzu sauce, lemon juice, sriracha or wasabi, and avocado if you want. Mix as little as possible. Just like sushi (but no rice--it's like eating a Japanese sugar cube).
  • Dear Freddy, I'm going to brag for a second. My bf is 36 & has been working out for 20 years. I can't get over how much this guy can lift. He is a Hammerstrength powerhouse, but he's not one of those people who's always trying to "max out". He is the strongest guy in the gym every time we go--I can tell just by looking at…
  • My neighbor loves www.skinnytaste.com or www.foodandwine.com click on HEALTHY. Also www.food52.com has some really healthy delicious recipes (not all are healthy). Emmy
  • Btw, congratulations on your weight loss girl. Superwoman!! I want to lose 40 pounds.
  • Dear Cindy, Researching the Glycemic Index can answer your question for a healthy person, but NOT for someone with diabetes. Diabetes is a high risk endocrine and metabolic disorder; therefore, Mom is going to metabolize carbohydrates quite differently than a person without the disorder. Perhaps one of your mom's needs is…
  • Almond milk is gross. Hemp milk is where it's at.
  • Most wheats are not healthier, chick. They will burn right through you like sushi rice with a blood sugar spike and crash that nobody needs. I like Buena Vida low carb tortillas (Wal-mart refrigerator Hispanic section). There are sprouted grains breads in most grocery freezer sections, but I have yet to research or try…
  • Dear Cidezines, It's like, do those people stay under a rock? Maybe they're reincarnated Flintstones. What the hell?! Whatever the hell, it is my theory those people just have nothing going on. Nurses are thee worst, ironically. I would bet quite a few of your coworkers would empathize with you, dear. You are not alone. Oh…
  • Dear Smiley LOL I am a huge advocate for eating all the foods you love. I love the following article: See The Food Writer's Diet, Bon Appetite, October 2008 I would melt a reasonable amount of Nutella and dip an exotic new fruit in it like star fruit. Now you have a really fancy special splurge you will want to have more…
  • Dear Smiley, How are you today? I've recently started doing a vegetarian diet (as much as I can) because of allergies and what feels like a hormone imbalance, so I would love any suggestions you have as well. These are my newly discovered favorites: Mung beans. 1/4 cup has 12g of protein and you can sprout them yourself…
  • From someone who stayed sick with allergy infections for over a year:One tsp of fresh ginger, while spicy, will help your stomach with the blasee feeling. Clear broth Asian soups (think vietnamese and Japanese) and hot tea are also effective in consistent doses. Also, treat your symptoms! Don't be one of those people who…
  • I am 33, I stopped smoking 4 months ago, then stopped taking the drug Seroquel about 6 weeks ago. Over the course of treatment, I gained 25 pounds. I NEVER felt my hunger was satisfied. It was a confusing, miserable experience. I still feel my cravings haven't stabilized, so weight loss feels virtually impossible right…
  • Hi, My name is Monique from New Orleans. Ok, this is why Cajun and Creole cooking is so underrated as healthy. It is NOT all covered in oily goopy sauces, cornmeal, flour, and rice. It IS full of vegetables, herbs (even curry), lean protein, and spicy peppers, great for revving metabolism. And best of all, it freezes…
