P.S. I buy bakery bread only, I plan what I am going to use out of the loaf this week and freeze the rest. The shelf stuff is full of additives and when I read the label it had high fructose corn syrup. Google up Science daily and read the articles on high fructose corn syrup and sugar in general. Leave all soda pops on…

Here is the deal, rapid weight loss causes the body to react and hold onto weight. The first month part of your weight loss could be a drop of 5 to 8 pounds of water weight. Weight loss should be about 1-2.5 pounds a week. You are sneaking it off your body. Your type of weight loss could cause you eat it back in once you…

A cooked 3/4 cup of steel cut oats or another choice rolled oats {the real good stuff that takes 15 minutes to cook.} I cook up a big pot every 4 days put the rest in the fridge, covered so it doesn't dry out , add a bit of water to moisten each morning and reheat in the micro of 1 minute. Add almond milk unsweetened and…

11/2 cup of soda has about 38-40 grams of sugar. If a teaspoon is 4.2 grams then that means you have about 9 teaspoons in a cup and half of soda. go to the cupboard get a bowl and measure on 9 tsps. to see how much sugar is in that glass of pop. Worse yet people with long term consumption of soda/ THE ACID IN MOST POPULAR…

lactose intolerance has to do with the bodies inability to break down a certain sugar in the milk. You can now buy lactose free milk which means they have processed the milk by one more step to break down the sugar.

My sugar is always over and I am still losing weight. What is important in my life style change is 3 servings {about 2 cups} of fresh fruit daily. So if my sugar is higher because of this I ignore. I also like !/2 tsp of honey on my oatmeal in the morning. so I ignore the sugar there. Where sugar creeps in is in millk,…

Detox's don't work. This was clearly demonstrated on a BBC documentary the Truth about Food.

I don`t by into these nutrition bars, better to have a fresh banana , apples, peach orange or other fresh fruits plus a handful of almonds in your paper bag. Just read the label look at the ingredients the additives the fillers in those prepackaged products. The Big Food Manufacturers are in the business of making a profit…

I agree , planning is important. It is thinking out your weekly meal time, Also never shop when you are hungry. Shop the outside perimeter aisles and stay as far away from the center aisles as you can. That is where the chips, tortillas, sodas, cookies , pops , granola and all other bars, candy included and all prepackaged…

Go to the top of the page Click on My home then Click on Settings which will open a menu scroll down and you will find Food Diary open and click on the option allowing others to read your diary.

P.S. my favorite item is tzatziki sauce, Greek style with lemon garlic and dill. You can do it with low fat yogurt or low fat sour cream or just buy from the store It is really tasty on top of wild/brown rice, beefs up the flavor and makes a nice dressing or dip for fresh veggies.

Yes , I forgot about rice, look for wild rice or mix wild and brown together, I buy in bulk from the bins and store. Food I make and freeze. I am a lasgana lover and will make it with lean beef, add spinach on top for one layer , cut up lots of tomatoes and blend [fresh crushed tomtos for sauce] add small can tomatoe paste…

Stay away from packaged processed cereals like bran flakes, corn flakes, oats, the whole lot of them. They are great for the manufacturers as they are a cheap product pressed through rollers then sugar and other additives added and sold at a ridiculous price for what they are. Switch to rolled oats the 15 minute variety ,…

one of the best sources is home cooked rolled oats or steel cut oats, High in fibre and nutrients, keeps you full and no sugar unlike the prepackaged brans, corns and wheats sold on every supermarket shelf that if you read the labels closely most have 4 tsps. of sugar added per small serving among the other additives. If…

Tzatziki sauce is wonderful as well made from yogurt and cucumbers and dill. I use it as an added flavor 1 tbsp. on top of my wild rice. It makes it so much more yummy, just like eating out in a Greek Restaurant.

hummus is great, you can make it up yourself, I buy mine at the market , it is made fresh daily. It is mainly chickpeas, some lemon , garlic , olive oil, salt. I use the hummus on my whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta sauces. I add a dash of pepper a sprinkle of pepper. Very tasty and it is a great source of…
