Vegetarian or Vegan canned soups
Hi! I love warming up some soup for lunch, especially in the winter months. I have recently become a vegetarian and that doesn't leave a ton of canned soup options!! Lately I have bought Muir Glen's vegan line and they are really tasty but crazy high in sodium. So here's my question: Can you recommend any specific canned…

DYO greek frozen yogurt?
I am toying with the idea of buying a ice cream/frozen yogurt maker for summer time. Plus I love frozen yogurt as my treat. So basically I am wondering if anyone has experience with just dumping a container of greek yogurt in the ice cream maker? Does that work, or do you have to mix a whole recipe of ingredients? Dumping…

Muffin Belly
Help? Lately (past week or two) after I eat, my belly feels super full and uncomfortable. Protrudes, even. It can happen and last anywhere from 30 min to 2 hours after I eat. I eat measured portions that seem "normal" for the amount of food I am usually eating. And I don't feel over full when I finish eating, which is why…

Going Vegetarian?
I'm thinking about going vegetarian or vegan, at least for a trial period, for no other purposes than 1) to try it, 2) for health, and 3) for weight loss. How hard is it to change? Are there nutritional substitutes that need to be made? Thoughts or advise would be greatly appreciated. I have a husband and two kids, and I…

Is anyone familar with....
Is anyone familiar with any deity/semi-deity, god/goddess or otherwise named Adeena or Adena? I was trying to find an alter ego for working out and running when I feel strong and powerful. After a few days I settled on this name without reading it anywhere or finding out any info on the name. So when I work out, I am…

Mixing Vegan and non-Vegan eaters. Help?
I am still in the pre-stages of trying veganism. I am trying to plan meals and foods for success in the long run, but I have not as yet made the change. Meals that I eat by myself (breakfast, lunch, snacks) are a no-brainer. But where I keep getting hung up is dinner (the family meal). My family won't want to (and I don't…

I need a Multi-Vitamin recommendation
Ok, I need to find a new multi-vitamin. I use One-A-Day Women's Active Metabolism and this is the third time now I have thrown up after taking it. I can only take it with a meal, or I get insanely nauseous. Apparently a banana, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, and coffee this morning wasn't substantial enough. I think I would…

How do you use your 20%?
Here's some perspective for you (I figured this out this morning with a calculator, hehe). If you live by an 80/20 rule (80% healthy foods/on track, 20% fun or treat foods/splurging), then out of a 30 day month, 6 days are fun or splurging. This is every 5 days. To me this mindset means reminds me that once in 5 days I can…

Crystal Light vs MiO
I have to have some flavoring to my water or I don't end up drinking anything at all. Generally I use Crystal Light or the generic equivalent (made weak than directions), a splash of lemon juice, or some True Lemon. I hear a lot of people talking about MiO lately and I was wondering how you all like it. Also how is it (if…
