Cut Calories Not Portions
Here we go.
Instead of worrying how much you eat, worry about what you eat. Being that I’m not a portion cutting kind of gal, this is right up my alley.
I just love this philosophy. That’s why I’ll cut up a pound of mushrooms and eat them. Or, get veggies by eating […]

You: on a diet
Doing Chicken
Poach chicken in chicken stock and leave any fat out of it. Use Pam if you need to add some fat. Add wine, rosemary and thyme to some chicken broth and cook until done.
Broil
Broiling a piece of chicken allows you to do whatever you want with it – you can add any […]
Hoppin John
I made Hoppin John to eat for New Years. I try to eat black eyed peas on New Years Day, it’s supposed to bring luck.
Noone else around here will look at black eyed peas, much less eat them, so I made a variation on the full fat version.
In my normal version, I use ham, […]

Weighing In
Got on the scale this morning and I’ve lost another 3 pounds, which makes a grand total of 69 pounds. I didn’t think I was going to lose any more for a while - I thought I was at a plateau, even though I’ve had people tell me I look like I lost more.
Bit […]
Diet On Larry King Tonight
Larry King is one of my favorite shows, depending on who he has on, and tonight they’re talking about Diet.

The Poop On Calcium
I missed Oprah the other day with Doctor Oz on it, and I wanted to see it too. I forgot all about it… Or maybe we went swimming. At any rate, Doctor Oz is one of the authors of You on a diet - the diet I am following with success might […]
Making Black Bean Soup…..Again.
The truth of the matter is, I love the stuff. Not only are beans economical, they go a long way. They have loads of protein - when I eat beans, I lose my craving for meat - I don’t even miss it. They fill you up quickly. They naturally have no fat, […]

Day 148 - Food Log
I’ve been craving pickles in a big way the last week. Sweet pickles. Bread and butter pickles. The problem is, with both sweet and the bread and butter, is the first ingredient on the label is high fructose corn syrup. Which is a big no-no. So yesterday, I went shopping for […]
