bump for recipe

great tips, thanks

great in omlettes, salads, brown rice; mixed with artichokes for a dip; mixed with other greens such as collards, turnip and mustard; great sauted in olive oil

im on advair and a rescue inhalor. but have you thought about swimming instead? my doctor recommended swimming to increase my lung capacity and doing water aerobics, zumba and pilates in the pool has made a difference

I too was literally eating myself to death, fork by fork. all of my health indicators are so out of whack that it's only be the Grace of GOD that i am able to take this umpteenth chance to finally get it right. only this time, it's a life or death opportunity and i have chosen life and to finally put my needs first. i am…

Next get a buddy who will be honest but supportive. I'm carb sensitive and will eat @ the drop of an emotional minute, BUT, I finally got tired of being sick and…

CONGRATULATIONS & thanks for providing me with some additional motivation. I have to lose over 100 lbs and seeing your success makes me want that same feeling of accomplishment for myself. Great job

This site really has helped me understand portion control too. Just this past holiday, I took a "break" from MFP, but I still decided to note everything I ate over the holiday weekend. I was HORRIFIED to see just how many calories I really did eat a meal just grazing & tasting. It was over 2500 calories a meal, not a day.…
