I meant that by I'm not maxing out my calories by gorging on chocolate and fried foods all day. The salads (Grilled chicken w/o crutons and dressing is 430 calories) have more calories in them than 5 plain wings without sauce (330 calories) or a half portion of potato wedges with cheese (195 calories). A full regular…

I use Lipozene and it has worked in conjunction with being a smart eater and doing exercise. The full feeling from the fiber swelling up helps to curb snacking and I had no issues when I went off of it for a few months; I just kept up with smart eating and exercise. I think it's good for first time dieters who need to…

I have always loved raisins. Before I was diagnosed with IBS, I ate them like candy; I always had tons of the little boxes in my purse and I had two containers in my nightstand if I was looking for a quick snack while reading/watching TV in bed. I played with the food counter and even if I ate nothing but "bland" proteins…

Woo!!! Found a completely filling and tasty breakfast combo and snack. I ate some raisins yesterday which usually causes stomach problems, but I was completely fine. I had a 1/2 of raisins through the day and I was fine. I added 1/8th of a cup to a bowl of Corn Flakes this morning. It was fantastic. I could do this for…

A jacket is a fantastic idea. You can also do nose work if you are just looking for a solution to tire the dog out. Mental stimulation can be almost as exhausting if not more than just a walk/jog. The only thing needed for a winter run for my GSD are shoes because rock salt causes pad burns.

I'm going to have to. I added Tofu to my diet and I wasn't dissapointed as I thought I was. It's a blank canvas that I get to play with, so that was good. I have a great Tofu burger with Mandarin Orange sauce...yummy! Curry is awesome and I have single sized portions in my freezer to re-heat. I also do a lot of soups and…

Yes! I'm doing that right now. I went from 220 to 170 almost effortlessly. I lost the last two pounds to drop me to 168 by pushing hard and severely limiting my caloric intake (500 calories a day sucked!) I even managed to lose another three pounds while on vacation! Then I got sick with a nasty upper respiratory…

I have a bamboo steamer and I steam or sautee veggies until almost mushy. I do lots of chicken/turkey through the day. Greek Yogurt is my new passion and I use different extracts to flavor it. Can't do cheese in a snackable portion. I get so bored with my baked/boiled chicken, mushy veggies, and white rice dinners that I…

Ooooh! Brilliant idea! I never thought about that! I've always thought about fruit jerky, but I figured it would be too rough on my system as the natural stuff you find in nutrition stores still causes issues. Will have to try the double strain method.

Thanks for your advice. :) I can't have any unprocessed fruits and vegetables as I can't have any excess fiber. Here's what I can't eat or it causes bloating/nasty feeling/stomach upset: Whole-wheat or whole-grain breads, cereals and pasta Brown or wild rice and other whole grains such as oats, kasha, barley, quinoa Dried…
