  • This weekend I have a wedding Saturday and a Birthday Sunday. My planfor Saturday is to get up and have a small but hearty breakfast and go to the gym for at least an hour or so before coming home to shower and get ready. The only time I intend to eat for the rest of the day--is at the wedding. I will eat until my body is…
  • This makes a YUMMY sweet treat...and so easy.... Take a graham cracker...top with a dollup of fat free (or sugar free or whatever you prefer) vanilla pudding, a dollup of fat free (or sugar free) cool whip and several berries. It's really yumster. That said, if you want something super cute...(think awesome presentation)…
  • Israeli couscous is the larger grain.
  • Hey there. I love sushi and eat it often. Avoid spicey tuna roll...as it is higher/denser in calories. REGULAR tuna roll, however, is a great choice. Alaska Roll (salmon) is also a great choice.l Try and stick to straight up fish and rice and veggie rolls....avoid ones with sauces or where the meat is mixed with other…

  • I feel your pain. The best you can do is make wise food choices and walk/jog (whichever you do). I have two trips ocming up and I admit I am nervous. When we travel, it is pretty much ALL restaurant eating. (eeeek) I know how to make wise choices looking at menus, BUT I also know I do not have NEARLY as much CONTROL over…
  • Thanks. I did not realize I could do that. I don't know exactly how many it can feed as it is my first time making it, but I estimated 6 (which is pretty big servings) and it came out to only 190 calories per serving. Awesome. Thank you so much for the help. I appreciate it!
  • No, no, no, just the opposite. Uncooked or lightly seared ahi tuna or raw salmon has the consistency of nice, rare beef. Problem is, people overcook their beef, so they have no idea how nice a smooth it should be:)
  • Defensive? Not at all. I have always kind of had champagne taste though, as opposed to beer tastes:) Always surprised when people don't like the high quality stuff.
  • You don't eat steak then either? Ahi Tuna has the same texture as beef (unless you ruin your beef by cooking it all leathery and well done). RAw salmon also has a texture like beef...
  • Let me add that once, I got my annual flu shot AND an H1N1 shot and then went and ate sushi. LOL. I should probably be dead from mercury poisoning right? LOL
  • I love fish:) I think the Japanese totally have it right with sushi. PERFECT. HEALTHY. AWESOME. A little bit of rice (low fat) with a big old chunk of raw fish (lean protein) wrapped in Nori (seaweed....yum-o) and dipped in some wasabi. There is no food on he planet better IMO.
  • Bump for more opinions.
  • This is confusing for me as well. I have read various responses. It seems to me, from what I have read, that if you have a lot to lose that you should not really be eating back your exercise calories because if you are fairly large your body is not at risk of going into starvation mode since you have ample fat stores to…
