  • My husband needs a lot of calories and often asks me to make ramen noodles for him as a snack... I make 2 packets (not the cup kind) but once I found out how much sodium that was, I didn't feel right giving that to him! It might not be a "recipe" but it cuts the crazy sodium. I use only 1 of the 2 seasoning packets that…

  • Knowing I might get some hate for mentioning a celebrity, I'm doing it anyway... *covers head* I think Jennifer Lawrence looks very healthy. (Yes, I saw The Hunger Games, but I didn't care for it at all. And I haven't seen any of her other movies.) It would be nice to be in that kind of a place where I'm not too heavy, and…

  • Omelette rice I had at some restaurant in Japan. It might seem kind of plain, but somehow the way it was prepared was delicious. Not sure if I was just really hungry, but the fact it was smothered in curry was probably what hooked me (now I'm thinking about Indian food... So hungry...) For the sweet category, REAL banana…

  • Empire apples are the best all-around apples. Because they were bred here in NY, they're plentiful, so I am spoiled. (: My husband has an allergy where certain raw fruits make his mouth very itchy. However, amazingly enough, empire apples are the only type of raw apples that don't cause his mouth to get itchy at all! Quite…

  • I don't know too much yet, but I do know that not all fruits were created equal. One of the worst offenders for a sugar spike would be a banana. They give you energy before a workout because they're pure carbs and sugar. But some of the fruits you should try are berries. Blueberries are one of the "low glycemic" fruits,…

  • For rocket_ace who asked, black bean brownies are made using a can of pureed black beans + a box of brownie mix. No added eggs or oil or anything, just that, and pop it in the oven like the directions on the brownie mix say to. Are they good? Well, I haven't had them for years so I can't say, but they are high in fiber and…

  • I just transitioned from Weight Watchers Points Plus to calorie counting because I wasn't losing, and it's been really hard for me to limit my fruits. Over two fruit servings a day doesn't work for me... I miss having as much coffee as I wanted, anytime. The problem is that I like my coffee rich and sweet, so I could…

  • Lack of self-control. I also didn't start in a very good place, since I was a chubby little girl and had terrible eating habits. I was very introverted, had few friends, and was bullied constantly at school. So I turned to food for comfort, and I particularly reached for sweets. I had a choice how to handle it and I didn't…
