Great recipe keem88, I haven't seen an egg white version before. Must try. It takes me about 5 minutes to make mayonnaise. Pop everything but oil in the blender, blend, then add a couple of tablespoons' worth of oil every 30 seconds or so. If the mayonnaise breaks (separates into an oily mess) try whisking a tablespoon of…

^THIS! Thank you, Mrs. Fowler. Shirataki is made from natural ingredients so there's no reason it would have any artificial effects on your body. Its ingredients are: - water - elephant yam, which acts much like gelatin when it turns the liquid water into solid jello - calcium hydroxide, which 'sets' the jello-like noodles…

Before or after they turn you into one of them?

:bigsmile: A giant green water bottle that looks like an alien pea pod. It won't do much good as a weapon, but that won't matter. I plan to be RESPONSIBLE for the zombie invasion, not running from it.

*edit... never mind. GIF fail.

I'm vegetarian but... some of my favourite shoes are leather. I LOVE it when the person next to me eats steak or bacon because it smells so much better than whatever I'm eating.

Are you asking about the health benefits, or the taste? Part of what makes green tea so healthy is tannins (polyphenols). You need to steep the tea at 80°C (176°F) or higher to properly extract more of those from the leaves. Unfortunately, tannins are also what gives green tea its slightly bitter taste so a lot of people…

OP, a lot of women need to try a few different types of pill before they find one that suits their body. Tri-estarylla is a triphasic combination pill -- it alternates between 3 levels of hormones throughout the month, and contains both estrogen and progestin. You might find that a biphasic pill -- which usually have lower…

Hi Leohoonani! If you want something more substantial than a single square of chocolate, have you considered chocolate protein bars? My go-to chocolate cure is a 30-gram mini ProteinFX bar. http://www.aussiebodies.com.au/product/proteinfx-lo-carb-bars/ About 100 calories, 9 grams of protein, low in sugar and very…

@NarneyK, you have a couple of options there. (1) Shop online at a USA-to-Australia store like this one: http://www.usafoods.com.au/Beverages/Mixes-and-Alcohol-Mixes/Torani-Pumpkin-Spice-Syrup-750ml (2) Make your own, with the option of using a sugar substitute e.g. Stevia in place of sugar:…

OP, thank you for your honesty! "I'm here only for my health" seems to me like the equivalent of "I wish for world peace". Health is great, world peace would be swell, but personally I'm here because this happened: *looks in mirror* "Sigh. I look fat." *weighs self & checks BMI* "Oh. I AM fat, soon to be obese. Well,…

If you replace half (or more) of the potato in your favourite recipe with cauliflower, the calorie count will drop without any noticeable change in flavour.

Don't worry if you have to put him in the 'inappropriate touching' teacher's class, he's used to that at home. Most inappropriate thing to say when someone asks "how are you?"

Press the buttons for every floor, then start fidgeting, shout "I can't hold it until my floor!" and pee in the corner. Most inappropriate thing to leave behind on a public bench?

I weigh myself almost every day, but it's more of a happy motivational tool for me. I get to start the day with a reminder of how much weight I've lost, which helps me make good choices when temptation rears its delicious, buttery head. If checking your weight every day makes you feel good about your progress, great! If,…

What a great idea. Me too, please?

Might she have been requesting 'langues du chat"? It's a type of biscuit -- sorry, that'd be 'cookie' in American -- and is pronounced roughly 'longs-do-shah'.

Hi xnancyelizabeth; I think I'd cry if I had to give up vanilla milkshakes forever! My favourite is: - 1 cup fat-free milk, 86 calories. - 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract, 12 calories. - 2 tablespoons diet (not Greek!) vanilla yoghurt, 12 calories. - A few grains of salt - Stevia or other sweetener to taste (0 calories if…

Hi Jeneba; Glad to meet another kale-lover! All the benefits of spinach without the sad, limp, soggy, metallic mess when cooked. My favourite kale-based meals are: - Kale frittata with green capsicum and kalamata olives - Raw kale salad, with apple & almond slivers and a sweet white wine vinaigrette - Kale & snow pea…
