Bump for later!

When I get bored of plain water- I will carbonate my own bottle water (no sodium or additives) then add either a tiny splash of Pom (Pom-Blueberry is my favorite) OR squeeze a slice of orange into it. Yum!

I eat after ... but I make sure I've eaten something a few hours before I work out so its not on an empty stomach. otherwise I feel sick.

I have a pair and I wear them often actually... very cushy. Yes, you have to get used to the balance and if you walk with your feet turned out or in - I don't think they work well (at least for one of my friends who claimed that) What I notice is it makes we walk straight- keep good posture and helps my butt! I will say it…

I think whichever way you go - ask that they do not put any extra butter and very little oil on your food. THe biggest problem with hibachi places is they first squeeze oil on the grill (yes, a little is needed) then they add large pats of butter to your meats, veggies, etc. Good luck and have fun!

I love Carrot- Apple juice (and I use tart granny smith apples) - sometimes its even nice to throw in a handful of fresh spinach. For an exotic flavored one - Pineapple, Pear and Chard - its delicious!

Wow... I wish it was 96 here!!! I love doing Chicken Salad (my favorite is Curried Chicken Salad - lots of flavor) Shrimp Salad with Grilled Zucchini Grilled Vegetables - served room temperature And last night my dinner was "on- the-go" but it was a Greek Yogurt-Raspberries-Granola Parfait I made at home... very very…

Hi there Melissa We sound a lot alike except I only have 1 child to chase after!!! I've only been doing this for about 10 days but here's what I have found helps & hurts! 1. I do drink 16 oz of water before I eat a meal. Usually while preparing it... and I always have my 8 glasses a day. Sometimes 9 or 10 if I'm exercising…

No matter what recipe you chooose - if you are making it in the crock pot - brown your meat before. And add a little bit less liquid because the crock pot creates more liquid and you can end up with watery chili. Food & Wine Magazine this month had a good one - Turkey & Black Bean Chili. Also, keep in mind that if you…

Here are my two favorites: -Greek Nonfat Yogurt (with twice the protein) - I like the Dannon one with fruit on the bottom OR the Brown Cow one with fruit on the bottom. I usually have it for breakfast but its creamy and rich enough that it makes a great dessert with some fresh fruit even. -Roasted turkey or chicken - I…

My doctor just discussed this with me and I have a consult with a person to look into this more. Can you tell me of any sites that have helped you understand it? I am currently dealing with a huge Cortisol issue so I need to tackle that first but I'm not sure if this is something for me or not.

So quick question - does this make 12 mini - muffins? Wondering if I should make double batch and share with friends? Thanks!

I'm not a nutritionist (though I am a chef :) ) but why are you cutting out all your carbs - can you simply cut back a little at a time? And choose some smart pasta choices - if not wheat; what about the "white" pasta with 2x the fiber, etc. I think it is called Smart Pasta. One of my favorite things to do if I'm dying for…

We bought the Wii for my 5 year old for Christmas but I have to say - I use it as much as he does!!! For exercise - I've been doing Just Dance 2 and just started with Wii Zumba - both get my heart going and I'm sweating and having fun!!!
