Do cravings mean anything?
I'm wondering if anyone knows if craving ice cream means that the body needs some nutrient/vitamin/etc that it is low in....?? I've always heard that some cravings mean that the body is really saying it "needs" something. For example, some people who are anemic crave ice. I was that way, too, until I started on iron…

How do you define "binge?"
Talking with a counselor today, she and I disagreed as to what a binge is, so I wondered how you define a binge. I see a lot of people on here saying they had a binge or are a binge-eater, so tell me what that means to you. I don't want to influence anyone's definition so I'm not going to post now what she and I think.…

SIMPLE, stir fry recipes
Hey, all, I bought a Wok at a yard sale for a quarter. I tried cooking in it today. I cut up chicken, marinaded in WOrchestershire Sauce (should I have used soy sauce?), cooked it, then cooked califlower, brocooli and onions. I used olive oil. I put more WS in the vegetables. Oh, I put a lot of garlic powder, onion powder,…

Saw an idea
I read an idea in a magazine this week that I liked. It said to take a bunch of vegetables (it could be the "scraps" from cutting them up, or if you have too many that are going to ruin, etc.), throw them in a pot with whatever herbs and seasonings you want. Boil them all together. Cool and freeze in ice cube trays and…

Exercise still confuses me
I'm still confused about different kinds of exercise. I've dieted all my life and NO other diet plan I was ever on suggested anything except cardio to lose weight. My question......"strength" exercise is stuff like lifting weights??? "Cardio" is the jogging, running, bouncing stuff that gets the heart rate up???? Is that…

My Fruit Salad for Lunch
I used one container of vanilla lowfat, low cal yogurt (80 calories). I chopped up three very large strawberries, six fresh cherries, one whole banana, and mixed with about one tablespoon of cottage cheese. I would have added more cc if I were making a larger bowl. Mix altogether and eat. I ate this for lunch. It was yummy…

Bra NSV
I have been discouraged because my scales have not moved in almost two months but I've been trudging along anyway and trying to ignore the scales. Yesterday I went for a new bra and the new one is six inches smaller (three sizes). I edited this because i decided maybe I didn't really want my bra size known by the world.…

How soon do lbs show?
If I overate yesterday, how soon does it take those extra calories to turn to fat? Does it happen quickly so any weight I might gain from an overindulgence will show today on the scales? or does it take a few days for it to turn to fat that would show on the scales? I'm not really asking about any one day in particualr;…
