  • Olive Oil is the best for everything except frying. It has more unsaturated fat than saturated and oil is good for you in small amounts. No need for all caps =]

  • I got a simple $12 blender at walmart...it's a single serve Hamilton Beach brand. It's dishwasher safe & easy to clean if you don't have one. And the best thing..it's portable & you can drink from the cup. I love it! I use it all the time! http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hamilton-Beach-Single-Serve-Blender-With-Travel-Lid/5924588

  • I have been drinking alot of fat free milk, but I recently switched to 8th continent light original soy milk. I don't like drinking milk in a glass so this isn't bad for me.

  • This is awesome! I always buy yogurt but can never seem to finish it within a decent period of time, so this is great for using up yogurt & making healthier recipes. I'm always looking for ways to make recipes less fattening and stuff, so thanks!

  • Hello all =] I'm a 5 year vegetarian (I started youngish) and I love it. I'm not much for vegetables but I get my nutrients elsewhere....or try to at least. Unfortunately I'm too selfish to go vegan...I love dairy products way too much and I just don't want to make myself that miserable. I do what I can though! =]

  • I was looking up this exact thing not long ago and I found a salt substitute. It's the salt-free Mrs. Dash seasonings. I recently bought the "table blend" and it spices up dishes perfectly with no added sodium. And yeah, like everyone else said, avoid packaged stuff. I don't know why they pack so much sodium into those…

    in Supplements...What Should I Take? Comment by xcirce August 2011
  • I've read about this a lot & I've found that the best thing to do is consider the sugar allowance "added sugars". So if you eat a few pieces of fruit, or some yogurt, or milk, then it doesn't count. These are all naturally occurring sugars that are NOT the same as the stuff in say, a Hostess cake. My fitness diary is…
