So I just went there last night. I have one of the good TJs. The baked goods and fresh stuff come from a baker 20 minutes away. The wine tastings are fantastic (just got a $6 bottle last night--there are so many wines and beers there that they highlight in the free tastings). It's my staple for pantry items like organic…

Depends on the Muesli. I love the one called MuesliFusion (you can find it at Wegman's or online). It's got protein, is low in fat, and is organic. Made in Rochester NY. It's one of the best I've tried and can be served cold or hot. I also like the organic instant oatmeal on the market found at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods…

obviously you have not read 'Born to Run' :) (amazing book by the way)

for those of you looking for more "proof" there was some information on Yahoo health. Scary Ingredient #9: Carrageenan A thickener and emulsifier extracted from seaweed. Why it's scary: Seaweed is actually good for you, but carrageenan is a mere seaweed byproduct. Through animal studies, it has been linked to cancer, colon…

1. I posted the warnings about the Edy's and Skinny Cow has the same warnings. (check). 2. I posted one article from the Chicago Tribune (awesome paper, did a wonderful job supporting the reporters in Boston after the Marathon Bombings) about one guy that figured out he had issues with one of the thickeners used in a lot…

Sounds great!

You decide what sort of chemicals and additives to put in your body and I will do the same. Both Skinny Cow and Edy's Slow Churned sugar free come with warnings on the products. I don't want to chance it. I'm often on the road for work and we're away from home 2 weekends per month (lots of miles on highways, time on planes…

I'm happy to argue with anyone that thinks it is a good idea to put foods in their bodies that come with warnings about digestive issues. My purchases at the farmer's market last week did not come with warnings like that. All I heard was: "hey, this chicken was slaughtered on Monday and this fish was swimming in the ocean…

Well I've always been a healthy weight and I don't eat fake ice cream (nor does my husband, and he's also a healthy weight). Just read the labels and figure out what you want to feed your body with. We prefer regular ice cream. Locally made and natural if possible. If not, the closest thing to that. We have found over the…

It's outlawed in other countries. That was enough information for me. I don't run screaming from a lot of things but I don't see poo warnings on my bowl of salad (you used the fiber example).

Here you go, Chicago Tribune: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-03-18/health/ct-met-carrageenan-0318-20130318_1_doubts-surface-fda-scientists-u-s-food There's also artificial sweeteners that are illegal in other countries. This thickener is illegal in other countries, so it is just one example. Just eat real ice…

but since you asked, here's one article in the Chicago Tribune. Many of our artificial sweeteners are also illegal in other countries. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-03-18/health/ct-met-carrageenan-0318-20130318_1_doubts-surface-fda-scientists-u-s-food

I don't have to list evidence. In Edy's Slow Churned (see below) comes with a poo waring and contains carrageenan. This is a thickener that is illegal in many countries. Product Ingredients Skim milk, cream, chocolaty chips, maltitol syrup, maltodextrin, polydextrose, glycerin, milk minerals concentrate, cellulose gum,…

So if you eat Edy's Slow Curned no sugar here's what to expect. Make sure you are near to a bathroom! What is a "choclaty chip"??????????? Product Ingredients Skim milk, cream, chocolaty chips, maltitol syrup, maltodextrin, polydextrose, glycerin, milk minerals concentrate, cellulose gum, natural flavor, mono and…

There's additives in there. Thickeners and things like that that are illegal outside of the US. So we eat them and go oh my goodness nomnomnom when in fact it's not considered safe. Just have regular ice cream for goodness' sake and measure out your serving. People also find it helpful to freeze individual portions in…

Their yogurt is not really Greek yogurt. It's Greek style yogurt. Many flavors of Yoplait have more sugar than Lucky Charms or a Hershey Bar.

Agree x2! People also mention solutions on here that are filled with chemicals, thickeners, and fake sugars. Many of the ingredients in ice cream (factory made) are actually banned in other countries (thickeners, various sweeteners) because they are considered not to be safe. Ice cream should have 5 ingredients or less and…

I don't think that's actually real ice cream.

Sounds super processed. :huh:

See my examples. They are not made in a factory using non-organic and hormone filled (and possibly antibiotic filled milk). I know for sure the example you gave...Breyers...is made in a factory and is not using local organic dairy. Try to find a little ice cream shop (or make your own). The ice cream that's not from a…

the homemade kind. the kind you get at a little shop in town where they make their own with local ingredients (offering 3 flavors today). the kind with 5 ingredients only and no weird stuff added. the kind you get at a maple sugar shack (where they make their own using their own maple syrup). At least those are the types…

Of course! If I spend an afternoon hiking or kayaking it's always a good idea to do a rest day. Gotta let those muscles heal up.

Smokey slow BBQ over real fire.

Here's the review: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/books/cooked-by-michael-pollan-fillets-the-meanings-of-food.html?_r=0

I know I've mentioned this before but I'm 70 pages or so into the book 'Cooked' and I'm really enjoying it. I'm in the science and evolution part. That of course was just after the Whole Hog BBQ part of the book. Good stuff. It does talk about calories and energy needed to run various "energy hogs" within our systems.

I eat every 2-3 hours. I also try to do something active each day. I would say you are normal. I've never been overweight. Breakfast: organic oatmeal or muesli coffee with one sugar and 1/2 and 1/2 Morning snack: Graze snack punnet or fruit Lunch at Noon: Frozen organic meal by Amy's or Kashi or leftovers from dinner or…

Grapefruit is not enough for breakfast...I would suggest yogurt with a sprinkle of low fat granola or an organic oatmeal packet (one of the brands with lower sugar). With coffee we're talking an under 200 calorie breakfast.

Taco salad without sour cream (but still with a sprinkle of cheese).

I do friends only. I don't consider that hiding I consider that friends only. :drinker:

My nail issue started in December and is just clearing up now. It will go in cycles. I was given a medicine to put on the nails at night (for my particular issue). I'm glad I went to the dermatologist she knew right away what it was. Other doctors are not trained in nail issues. Plus, if you don't already the derm can do a…
