I LOVE these noodles. I went on the Internet yesterday to read more about them. There were a couple things I want to share. 1) The noodles while often found in the refrigerated area in the store don't require refrigeration if the package hasn't been opened 2) There is an expiration date printed on the noodle packaging. If…

Works well and certainly eliminates lots of calories. We use cooking spray in nearly every recipe we have that calls for sauteeing.

Request: Grilled or broiled, NOT fried and using minimal fats during preparation Veggies, "naked" (no fats or sauces added during or after cooking/steaming) Side salad, dressing on the side with vinegar and oil type dressing, NOT creamy dressing Soup, preferrably clear broth type, NOT creamy A large glass of water with…

This is a delicious recipe that allows those of us who LOVE noodles to eat them guilt-free. I adjusted the sauce by cutting down on how much chicken base and reducd sodium soy sauce I used because of watching my sodium. I did add more water to the sauce and that helped cut down on the saltiness. In addition, I stir fried…

I don't have an explanation. However, be kind to yourself and think about not stepping on the scales quite so often. It sounds like your eating plan encompasses several health issues that you experience and I can appreciate that. I can't walk or exercise due to being a full time wheelchair user as a person with Muscular…

Ok, I mostly weigh my foods precooking weight. The question as to why I only eat 3-4 oz. meat per day is health related. I use a wheelchair full time, cannot do ANY exercises that work against gravity, and can't afford private/personal trainer. In essence I am nearly completely sedentary which makes losing weight much…

If you are really hungry for Ramen noodles, try Orchids brand Chuka Soba Oriental Style Noodles. The key is they are NOT fried and then packaged like Ramen style noodles so that really changes the nutrition counts for these noodles drastically over the packaged Ramen noodles. Also, the soduim content is greatly reduced in…

......and find 20 min. a day and listen to a guided meditation CD for wellness, focus and relaxation.

Good luck! I've been on the site for a couple months now and find it very helpful, supportive and best of all I've lost weight! YOU CAN DO IT!

Rule of thumb is when meat is cooked the cooked weight decreases about 25% from the pre-cooked starting weight. For calorie count I guess you use the pre-cooked calorie/nutrition numbers. However, I weigh my meat portion after it's been cooked to know the actual ounces I'm going to eat after it's cooked. I try to keep my…

I use Greek non-fat yogurt and add fresh fruit and 1 packet of Truvia for sweetness if necessary. Chobani brand for instance only has 7 grams of sugar for a 6 oz. cup. So I just eat just about 3 oz. instead of the entire cup. The rule of thumb is when you eat something it should NOT contain more than 3 grams of sugar per…
