They are whole. Thanks for responding!

Sometimes I use hummus on salads. But I just found this website, lowfatlifestyle.com that has a recipe index. There are tons of low cal dressings. You need some fat with salad to help your body absorb fat soluable vitamins. I tired the Greek dressing and the oriental dressing. Both were delicious! The Greek dressing calls…

I make a cold quinoa salad. It's so colorful and beautiful. I don't have an exact recipe because I make it different all the time. I usually mess around with the dressing until its to my taste Quinoa Black beans(drained, rinsed, and microwaved) Finely chopped red onion Chopped orange pepper Corn Lots of cilantro Dressing…

You should never use margarine. It's not natural and it's made of unhealthy fats like vegetable oil or canola oil that has been hydrogenated. Despite what some people will say, canola oil and vegetable oils are very unhealthy. Chemicals such as hexane, are used to extract the oils. The only type of oil/fat I will use in my…

Sorry to hear. I would suggest you order the nit free lice comb from amazon. It works so much better than the comb in the box. The girls I take care of had it answer used the comb to get rid of it. I put a movie on the portable DVD player, sat the girls on the bathroom floor and combed their hair every other at. We didn't…

I love tea. Yogis ginger tea is delicious. No milk or sugar needed. I like chamomile or vanilla chamomile. Earl gray is good, I get the lady duchess from trader joes, with a little lemon or lime. It smells just like fruity pebbles, I've heard a lot about cocoa tea, don't know how that is thou

You are right that diet soda is bad for you, It's just as bad if not worse than regular soda, so don't let anyone tell you it's ok. It's not bad occasionally, but occasional should be no more than once a week

Do you like beans or lentils, if so what kind

Baked potato with a little olive oil and a little bit of freshly grated parmesean cheese or Romano cheese. 1 tb of fresh grated parm cheese has 22 cal 2 grams of fat and less than 1 g sat fat 76 mg sodium and a lot of flavor. U are better buying it in the block and grating it fresh because it lasts forever (i had a half a…

I love kefir too, I don't use any sweeteners in my smoothies. I use a half of a banana or frozen pineapple as my sweetener along with other berries.. What is trivia by the way

I'll do it too!

I am obsessed with the citrus kombucha by synergy. All of the stringy things are healthy bacteria, probiotics, that help aid in digestion and reflourish the natural flora in your digestive system. I know that anything fermented is super healthy too ... I hate that it's four bucks a bottle so it's always my treat at whole…

You need to buy oats that say gluten free on them like bobs red mill. The reason is because although the oats have no gluten in them, most brands are contaminated while growing. Wind carries the gluten from wheat plants and contaminates the oats. So the gluten free oats are grown in thir own separate area. I'm not sure how…

No way around the 190 cal in 2 tb. Nuts are good for you, so anything to make it lie cal prob isn't good for you. I like trader joes natural pb. Try using a tablespoon next time you make a sandwich to see how much you really use, as 2 tb is a lot in a pb&j. Or just use 1 tb when you make a sandwich

For ketchup I like to use simply Heinz. There isn't anything artificial. Calorie free ketchup is loaded with preservatives. Just stick to the serving size. I would think that most stuff you put ketchup on isn't healthy anyways, French fries, burgers, hot dogs. And for steak sauce, sorry But you probably won't have any luck…

I love yogurt for breakfast. I put plain yogurt in a container at night with frozen pineapple tidbits (from trader joes) and the pineapple defrosts pretty nicely in there. I eat it on my way to work. I suggest you pack a spoon the night before too. Plain yogurt with sliced banana and ground flax seed is amazing. Always Cut…

I was curious about this too because I like to eat 3 servings of fruit a day (sometimes more) so I asked my aunt who is a dietician. She said that natural sugars are ok and not to worry about them. Just don't eat more than 24 grams (6 teaspoons) of sugar a day.

Brooks are awesome. I have pretty wide feet and mine fit fine. But I agree with anyone that sy to go to a running store, they will help you get the right shoes.

You should take fish oil pills. It is supposed to help with immflamation. I read something about it in runners world, the guy said he took fish oil the whole time he was training for a marathon and it he didn't get sore. I also heard eating spinach and cherries together is good.

Wow Joe hempel, that's a really mean!! You couldn't have phrased it nicer?!?

Beans and lentils the main course of my dinner. I make a lot of Mexican inspired dishes, like salad topped with corn and beans and salsa, and bean soups and stews. Indian dishes with chickpeas or lentils are my favorite. If you are making pasta add lots of veges (steamed broccoli, mushrooms, squash, anything) in your sauce…

There is no pill that will help you lose weight. Healthy diet and exercise is the only thing that works. Don't waste your money and risk your health. Diet pills are foolish, and the only thing u will end up with is a heart palpitation.

Take at least 1 crappy outfit, if u have 1, and burn it. Seriously

Try drinking coffee with just milk for a while. Then start drinking it black. I used to like sweet coffee but I forced myself to drink it black my sophomore year in college. Your taste buds will get used to it, especially if you need the caffeine. It may sound a little harsh, but it is possible, because I've for forced…

Try vodka and seltzer water with lemon and lime. Flavored seltzer waters like cranberry or raspberry lime taste the best. Just make sure you don't have it with tonic water.
