I like to cook the chicken the day before and put the cooled broth in the fridge and then the next day skim the fat off the broth and then make the recipe.

Excellent recipe! I'll be making this one very soon. I love recipes with the Nutritional Facts. :)

@ Tim, Congrats on the fact that you're down 10 pounds! As I see it when you decide to make a recipe, you then own it and you can do what you like or want with it.

"Quality matters too, and it matters on both sides of the energy-balance equation. Calories go out in three ways: we burn them to survive (resting energy expenditure); we burn them to work (physical exertion); and we waste them (thermogenesis or heat loss). The quality of the fuel we consume can affect both resting energy…

"At Harvard Medical School, Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology whose research was cited by experts in the film, said that the long-held idea that we get fat solely because we consume more calories than we expend is based on outdated science. He has studied the effects that…

"A new study from Harvard University found that the number of calories consumed is not necessarily as important as the quality of those calories. The kind of calories the body gets may affect how efficiently people burn their body's energy, which can be key for losing weight and keeping it off. "It's not that calories…

Many people believe that if you eat fewer calories than you burn each day, you’ll lose weight, and if you eat the same number of calories that you’ll burn, you’ll maintain a healthy weight. This plan works for many people, but not all. If you’re counting calories, it’s important to think about what you’re eating. Say Jane…

When the "Diet Bullies" smell blood in the water they have a feeding frenzy.

From what I understand a human can only live about 62 - 63 days without food before they starve to death. There was one university study on the Starvation Mode and proved it a myth. The Minnesota Semistarvation Experiment Minnesota Semi-Starvation Experiment, the Minnesota Starvation-Recovery Experiment and the Starvation…

YUM! We're Veg Nerds!

I need 2.5 cups of veggies per day. Should we all friend each other in order to keep track of our group???

Hi, I'd like to join! I've already stocked up on Monday and I'm looking to stick with eating more veggies and less junky foods. I have just become a fan of Green Vegetable Smoothies. Good Luck Everyone!

It is proven that sugar leads to heart disease and other food related diseases in humans.

@ shell1005. It's a well known fact that sugar causes food related diseases if you consume too much. You should know what you're talking about before you run your mouth off. "The American Heart Association (AHA) has recommended that Americans drastically cut back on added sugar to help slow the obesity and heart disease…

Hi eliaus3640! I hope you succeed and the best of luck to you!

I still have weight to lose and have gone through the school of hard knocks. Doing it the right way has increased my success rate. It's a drag beginning and failing and starting again. One other thing I wanted to share was about SUGAR. Say a food or drink product has 12 grams of sugar in it. To find out how many teaspoons…

Hi jmh0979, I might be able to help you. I've had a similar problem. The one thing that helped me is learning how to eat and what to eat. I started concentrating more on nutrition and less on the amount of calories I ate. I've had to over come bad eating habits and find reason why it was better to eat healthy. It's taken a…

NiqueKristan You said, "I recently got into a relationship and we cook and bake together." Are you cooking and baking sweet treats? Do you know that sugar is the trigger food that leads lots of people down the road to losing self control. Would your BF love you if you didn't let him eat sweet treats in your house? It's…

What are you eating too much of? Is it like sugar, bread, pizza, junk food, soda's, sweet treats?

Ask the Chef for a raw food plate with fruit and veg and the meat on the side grilled, baked or poached.

Oh My God, just when I thought I was starting to get better. I wish I didn't click on this thread but when I did I couldn't look away. :)
