Foods	bottom line on coffee??	May 05 2007 04:04 (UTC)	1
I believe if you try to supress your cravings, you'll end up just eating more to compensate. There was an article on WebMD that showed coffee contains fiber, and there are some newly discovered health benefits. Treat yourself, you only live once!
Foods	Fiber: Benefiber VS. Fiber35	Apr 25 2007 20:56 (UTC)
Well, if the ingredients are the same, then try it. I've used store brand fiber supplements and they have all worked well.
Foods	Special K Protein H20...	Apr 20 2007 21:23 (UTC)
It's way too expensive and wasteful.
Foods	Anyone else try Diet Coke PLUS?	Apr 19 2007 00:40 (UTC)	2
I tried it. Came in the same cans as the regular diet coke does, and costs the same. It also tastes the same too. I'm on my third diet coke plus today. I really do like it.
Foods	quaker oatmeal - keeps you full	Apr 15 2007 03:22 (UTC)	2
I use store brand rolled oats. (Publix) I know, I'm cheap.
Health & Support	Anyone else on anti-depressants or other weight-gaining drugs?	Apr 14 2007 23:37 (UTC)	67
I'm on lexapro, but now I'm getting my dosage increased. They've worked for a year, but now they just don't work like they're supposed to. If the dosage increase doesn't work, then I'll probally switch drugs. Currently, Wellbutrin is the only antidepressent that doesn't contribute to weight gain, and helps you loose weight. My friend lost weight on it. The only problem is it makes anxiety worse, so I just can't take it.

I might go to the grocery store today, so I'll see if I can get it.
Health & Support	Bipolar friends needed!	Apr 12 2007 20:33 (UTC)	12
The medications can cause you to eat the entire fridge. I've just went through my third psychiatrist in one year. Two of them just moved away. My newest one listens to me more and we have longer sessions. It's great to have talk therapy along with medication therapy. I think it makes a world of a difference.
Foods	"Healthiest" cereal?	Apr 08 2007 20:58 (UTC)	15
I like the Honey Nut Toasted Oats (Cheerio's). I buy the Publix Greenwise brand, which is organic and has more real honey taste to it. It's whole grain too! Whole grain oats is the first ingredient.
Foods	Does anyone know were i can find the calorie count for pollo tropical (tropigrill) ??	Apr 02 2007 02:39 (UTC)
They have handouts over there that have all the details.
Health & Support	Bipolar friends needed!	Apr 01 2007 19:15 (UTC)	19
I have bipolar disorder too. It can be tough. Talk to me whenever you want to.
Foods	Oatmeal	Mar 31 2007 03:00 (UTC)	31
Artificial sweeteners are under the brand names splenda, sweet 'n low, and equal. They all have under 5 calories per two teaspoon equivalents of sugar. Sweet 'N Low is the cheapest. You can find them in the baking isle, with the sugar. Try a tablespoon or two of jam. How about adding fresh or frozen fruit to your oatmeal? A handful would be good. If it's frozen, I would defiantly add the fruit before cooking.

I add a packet of artifical sweetner, along with that you can add raisins and/or cinnamon. Here is a recipe for applesauce oats: http://hillbillyhousewife.com/applesauceoatme al.htm

I love that drink. The price is right compared to Red Bull!
Health & Support	Living With OCD	Mar 26 2007 01:12 (UTC)
I know OCD is horrible. I have Bipolar depression, which almost always comes with way more than one mental disorder. Along with it I have panic disorder w/ agorophobia, OCD, and social anxiety disorder. I barely ever leave my house and rarely have friends over. It can be like living in your own prision. I've been out on Lexapro, Seroquel, and Xanax XR. All seem to help, but I still have problems day to day. Hope you feel better. Remember your not the only one.
Foods	does salmon make you queasy?	Mar 25 2007 21:38 (UTC)	4
Well, if you rarely have salmon or never have eaten it, you may feel a bit queasy. This can also apply to any meat. On St. Patricks day I tried corned beef (I haven't had beef in over 7 years), and I felt very queasy. I couldn't finish it. Perhaps it's the same thing.
Foods	this is getting realy old...	Mar 25 2007 18:15 (UTC)	12
Prozac kinda works for the first month (it's like that w/ all SSRI's), but it will work much better after a few months. There really isn't anything instant you can do. :( It takes time. In the meantime, try and get in touch with some hobbies, even if you don't feel like you are enjoying them. Maybe getting some caffeine from green tea would help. Eat the right foods, just not all junk food. Get better soon!

It should stay the same.

Foods	chicken cooked in oil	Mar 24 2007 23:47 (UTC)
You can try saving the oil in the pan, and once the oiled has cool, measure it. Then subtract that from the total..
Foods	Terra Chips	Mar 24 2007 23:46 (UTC)	1
Those are my favorite chips. I like them better than potato chips these days. Yum!
Foods	Diet Soda... You know you want it.	Mar 23 2007 22:10 (UTC)	7
1) Are you/have you been addicted to diet soda? Yes 2) What kind? Diet Coke (Cherry or Lime) 3) Did you drink it daily/weekly/monthly? A liter+ a day! 4) Any idea if it's bad for you and can make you gain/lose weight? I lost plenty of weight on diet sodas. I still drink a liter a day and have stayed at 110 for a while.
Foods	Feces	Mar 21 2007 22:25 (UTC)	7
You should drink more water. Flavored water and things such as Crystal Light are easy ways to get more water w/ flavor. Try Senna laxatives. Also food high in sugar alcohols have a laxative effect. You can find those in sugar free gum, pudding, and candy, and raspberries.
Foods	Organic Products, Are They Really Better for You?	Mar 21 2007 02:07 (UTC)
I don't really like buying organic, way too expensive. I try to look for a conventionally grown product that is equivelent to it. 20oz (approx) of Organic store brand Canola oil is even more expensive than 48oz Conventionally grown store brand canola oil. Way too expensive!
Foods	ok so what is trans fat really?	Mar 20 2007 01:34 (UTC)	2
Hydrogenated oil is oil that has hyrdrogen forced into an unsaturated oil. The state of a lipid (fat) at room tempature (liquid or solid) depends on how much hydrogen is in the fat. The more hydrogen, the harder it if for the lipid to move, making it harder to move. A trans fat looks like this: &nb sp; H &nb sp; \| - C = C- \| H What does this mean? The oil can become solid, which collects on the walls of your arteries, increasing your blood and pressure and making your heart work harder.

Is it like yogurt spread? You can take any yogurt (even nonfat), but it in a coffee filter and have it drain overnight in your fridge until all the whey comes out.
Foods	I Ruined My Coffee!	Mar 14 2007 23:11 (UTC)	16
Equal.. I only use that when I can find nothing else. I usually like to use Sweet 'N Low. I love that stuff. Can't have coffee without it.
Foods	McCann's Oatmeal- healthier?	Mar 13 2007 23:01 (UTC)
Quicker cooking or instant oatmeal is acheived by cutting the grain into smaller peices. It's still whole grain, just smaller.
Foods	Kerr?s sugarfree lolipops: 16 grams of carbs, yet only 30 calories per 18g serving? Can someone please explain this to me?	Mar 12 2007 23:48 (UTC)
Sugar alchohols have less calories than sugar, yet it's still a carb. I think it's about 2 calories per gram of sugar alchohol.
