Diet and Weight Loss Programs
Eating Healthy On a Budget
Every where you look the experts are telling us we are fat and need to lose weight. Yet, if you want to eat healthy, it’s going to cost a bit more in the long run. You’re on a tight budget and buying healthy food is difficult, especially when […]
You say Potato
I love my potatoes. But since starting the You Diet, I don’t eat them like I used to. That’s because I discovered they make my blood sugar crazy - especially if I eat them by themselves, which I’m inclined to do. Some of the baking potatoes in the store are huge, and I […]
Making Weight Loss Easy And Permanent
Think about setting goals.
If you do set goals, set reasonable goals. Be prepared for the goal to change sometime down the line. If you set a goal for yourself, it should be attainable. But don’t say: I’m going to work out an hour a day, 7 days a […]
Stick To Your Diet During The Holidays
The holidays are coming and soon those of us that are dieting will be challenged with trying to maintain our diets throughout the holidays. We start around Halloween, and start thinking about Halloween candy, and then our thoughts progress on to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then New Years, and […]
Soup Tips
Whether I’m trying to lose weight or not, I love soup. I could live on soup - or soup like substances.
Here are some tips to use when you are making soup.
Never boil soup. It should only be simmered. The same goes for stew.
Before eating soup, after its done cooking, refrigerate overnight.
This will allow […]
The Incredible Edible Smoothie
There are smoothie shops everywhere these days. Within a 5 mile radius of my house, there are four shops, not including the mall.
The smoothie has been around since 1960. Similar to a milkshake, they’re sweet, made with fruit, milk or yogurt. They can be made from vegetables as well.
Smoothies can be […]
Home Soda Maker
Here’s something cool. We’re all hearing now about how diet soda is so bad for us, it’s what’s making us fat, it won’t make
us lose weight, the splenda/aspartame/saccarhin/whatever is going to give us brain damage and so on.
Purdue says that diet soda prevents us from realizing how many calories we’re […]
Are you sure it’s 100 percent?
So you’re in the store and you’re getting ready to buy a product. The package says 100% whatever it is you’re going to buy. But did you read the label?
If you read the label on […]
Diet Forks
First, we have your diet plate. Now, to go along with the diet plate, you can get a diet fork.
I use small spoons, don’t know why, I just always have. And it’s never helped me with portion control.
This think looks suspiciously like a spork, so if I were to try this, I’d get a […]
Ways To Cut Fat In Your Diet
Try using a butter spray. Using a butter spray can help you cut the fat in your diet, but you must remember the sprays on the market still have fat in them. For instance, Butter Flavor Pam says it has 7 calories per 1 second spray, and less than […]
Hurricane Is Coming What Do I Eat?
Just because a hurricane is coming doesn’t mean that you have to blow your diet. Of course, it’s a good reason to, but you don’t have to.
If a hurricane hits, you need to plan on […]
Portion Control
I take issue with some of this stuff. Portion sizes.
If the USDA says 1 slice of bread equals one portion and
Dictionary.com defines a sandwich as:
two or more slices of bread or the like with a layer of meat, fish, cheese, etc., between each pair.
So I’m only supposed to eat a half a […]
