  • I didn't know there were groups! lol Yes I am a foodie too :) I eat what I want I just tend to overeat at Thanksgiving.
  • Curiosity wins, I am logging it. XD
  • Is this an old doctor? These seem like very old ways of thinking, if you ask me. You should look at the glycemic load diet :) I have insulin resistance and I do a combination of the Insulin Resistance diet and the Glycemic Load diet.
  • Totally agree about the cookies. I just need to quit forgetting my lunch. The cookies and the pizza are the hardest for me to avoid.
  • I'm pre-diabetic (genetic) so I have to worry about carbs as well as fat and calories (fun). I found this amazing recipe for a low carb belgian waffle. :) The recipe would work for a pancake too. I'm not sure on the totals but i know they are about 7.3 carbs per waffle. Here is the link:…
  • barbeque crabs...30 calories each. Not bad but when you consider people where I live eat maybe 20 each at a buffet...WITH the other food. :|
  • Photos are 2 dimensional and don't always show how you really look. :smile: I bet you look great!

  • Diet coke has aspartame, which makes you crave carbs. It also has been shown in studies to cause brain tumors if consumed in mass amounts over a period of time (like drinking diet coke your whole life and eating things it is in). I read a study once (wish I could find it) that took a sample of people and what they found…
  • Actually yes the burger is about 440 calories (http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/getnutrition/nutritionfacts.pdf). I'm not sure why the book would say that. The hamburger is about 250. I try to use the nutrition information on the company website or a calorie counting book.
  • Thanks I love it here already :) It finally hit home when I went on a trip for my MBA and my being out of shape really ruined the trip for me. Stayxtrue: I admit that for many first appearances are a factor. For me if someone is healthy, makes me laugh, and is a good person I love them the way they are (they also have to…
