Cool, Thanks. Yes it's purely a motivation thing and I have kind of eaten a lot last few weeks. Luckily I excercise 3x per week with trainer and have not gained. But I will look for dancing and hiking. I love both! Thanks! |

I am concered about the sodium content for the packaged content. TJ's is awesome though. They have tons of healthy packages of tasty foods (I know that sounds like an advertisement ...) |

Thanks a lot for the responses everyone!
As far as instant rice, I think it would have too much sodium which is another thing I trying to seriously cut down on. In fact the whole point of getting off my lazy butt to cook bown rice myself is to cut down on sodium. You guys are awesome though. Thank you and best of luck to everyone.
p.s. Added question, what do you usually eat with Brown rice? I usually eat egg whites omelets. |

Thank you so much for everyones responses. I have also found that even healthy soups have tons of sodium. I guess the best thing to do is to cook EVERTHING yourself, which would be very difficult to do. But honestly, how could anyone NOT get hypertension if you consume normal foods without cooking everything yourself.
p.s. whatever happened to our old caveman days when it was actually hard to get enough sodium in you ...

I don't smoke myself, but my friend from work was a smoker since he was 14 and he quit cold turkey 3 years ago (he is 36 now). He has not smoked since. You will do it!! |

| Weight Loss | Do you limit carbs at dinner? | Oct 24 2008 18:28 (UTC) |

It's a very difficult for me to limit starches, but I try my best. I've been told and read that the rule of thumb is to not consume any starch related carbohydrates ( potatoes, break, pasta, sugar) after 6 PM. Whenever possible, even before 6 PM, I try to substitute whole wheat carbohydrates.

| Foods | Is too much fiber bad? | Oct 06 2008 23:30 (UTC) |
|
This actually happened to me during the initial weeks. I upped by Fiber by a lot. I never measured, but I probably ate about 15-30g (never measured before) and now I eat about 50g+. Initially when I increased I felt gassy, bloated, and constipated for a week. Your body will adapt, but from my experience and from what I have read, you should only gradually increase Fiber, and when you do increase it, ,make sure you drink lots of water. I feel great now though, so don't worry about me. :0)

Hi floggingsully,
P.S. As far as fat, I understand that there are good fats like fish oil, peanut fat, etc and I am basically staying away from saturated fats and limiting the others to min requirements. Amir |
