Dry Pinto Beans
How much does a 1/4 cup of dried bean come to after it's cooked? The NI on the package of beans I bought says 60 calories for 1/4 dry. Who in their right mind eats dry beans? lol

Feeling very discouraged
I've been doing the Brazil Butt Lift now for 30 days. I've managed to lose 1 pound and zero inches. How is that even possible? I'm not stopping but man am I down today.

Fat Free Roux??
Question for all you cooks out there. Is there a way to make a roux without the fat? I want to make carne guisada but the roux calls for 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of fat.

Brazilian Buttlift
Has anyone ever tried this workout and if so, do you like it? I just purchased it. I am thinking about suspending or cancelling my gym membership.

Calories burned strength training?
How do you know how many if any calories you burn lifting weights? I'm sure you are bound to burn something. I just finished a 45 minute session with my trainer on the Natilus XPlode free weight machines. We worked the chest then I did abs and lunges and squats. I was told a HRM isn't accurate for weights.

Pizza Vending Machine?
Apparently this new concept is coming to the US pretty soon. It's already been a hit in Europe for about 3 years. What are your thoughts on it? I think whoever came up with the idea is a genius. It unfortunately will not help the obesity problem in this country but you got to admit from a financial point of view it's…

Anyone do this? I have a brand new blender that we've used maybe one time. I was thinking of throwing some fruits and veggies together in it but not sure what the outcome would be since you though the enitre thing in to get the full effect of the food.
