| Foods | Froot Loops are healthy? :| | Sep 08 2009 00:29 (UTC) |

Just to be clear, it's not "Fruit Loops," it's "Froot Loops." When fruit gets spelled with two o's, it's a clue that it's some crazy junk.
Just like when cheese is spelled with a "z." Beware. |

Try saying you're on a doctor-ordered diet. Many parents respect a doctor's wishes. You can also try "oohing and aahing" over their food (which is what some of them want anyway) and begging for some to take home. Then you can ditch it or give it away. |

I saw a woman on TV who had had weight loss surgery, and she knew exactly how many hours she had to wait before she could eat another Snickers. She was one of many who are regaining after the surgery, and at a much worse risk to their health. It's not magic. |

Just in my mailbox: Part 3, and it looks like the last. This may be the best yet. Deep fried latte (?!), pop tarts, and chicken-fried bacon. |

This morning I woke up to a sequel. This one has the deep fried White Castle somebody just mentioned, and IT'S HUGE. I though those things were itty bitty (we don't have them here)? Still no sign of fried Coke. |

Maybe being a recluse explains some of it. These are things to eat in extreme secrecy. |

It almost seems like a joke, only the joke's on anyone who makes it and eats it. |

Jackson's of Piccadilly's Earl Grey --and they stopped making it. It was bought out by Twining's. My fiance bought me a case while some was still lingering. When it's gone...it's gone. *Sob* |

| Foods | Glaceau Vitamin Water--opinions? | Jun 15 2009 22:46 (UTC) |
|
They ought to start calling Coke "Coke Water" and watch people lap it up and think it's healthy. Seriously, though it has some vitamins added, once you add flavorings to water, you've got yourself a soft drink. It's not water, any more than other soft drinks are still water. I have to hand it to their marketing people for getting people to associate it with drinking water, though. |

It's worse than regular pizza because of the amount of cheese. Imagine it unwrapped. The cheese would be, like, three inches thick. |

Sounds okay to me, but without the Sweet & Low. I like making Thai-style slaw with ginger-soy dressing and peanuts, too, but that's a whole different thing! |

My southern food weaknesses are cole slaw and my mom's squash casserole, but those are only "sometimes" foods. |

Actually I prefer using lime juice. It just tastes better with Tex-Mex. My favorite guacamole has lots of lime juice. Just a matter of taste. |

LOL at deep fried Diet Coke! The idea of deep fried artichokes or avocados makes me sad. What a ruination of great foods. |

I'm with you, soliwit. Stuff like that makes me want to go eat some vegetables. And I'm not saying it to sound healthy either! Really gross junk food isn't my weakness. Cheese is! |

Sounds good! Much better than my mother's mayonnaise-y deviled eggs. I don't know how it's possible, but one spoonful of my mom's potato salad has more mayonnaise than a spoonful of mayonnaise. |

| Calorie Count | Moderate alcohol intake is healthy - but CC marks it way down | Jan 04 2009 18:12 (UTC) |

I'm happy with the C. The grade for other alcohols is lower. I've found that if I eat healthy all day and have a glass of red wine, my grade for the day is an A overall, and that is in line with what we know about red wine. When you eat a food with a lower grade, it means you have to work harder to achieve balance. That's as it should be. |

That's for a group, right? 1 cup of vodka = 8 oz. Not only is that edging up on 800k for the vodka alone, but with one shot of liquor being 1.5 oz., drinking that would knock you out! Also, calorie-wise, using three different mixers is quadrupling them. Sticking with simple or no-cal mixers is best for weight loss (if you HAVE to drink). |

Apples make me feel hungry too, but I think the key is in how the tests were done. The food was given to people in equal increments of 240 calories. That's what? Like four apples? I've never eaten four apples at once, but maybe it would make you feel pretty darn full.

I agree with potatoes as number one, because I think a baked potato IS one of the most satisfying things I can eat. I sometimes get hungry really soon after eating oatmeal, though. |

Hello everyone! I'm breathless! I've only recovered internet access at home again, and the loss of it had come simultaneoulsly with working in an internet-less area of my workplace for the last several weeks. I'm thrilled to be back, and I've missed the support of this site. I had a VERY hard time over the last couple of weeks, not being able to log my calories here. How is everyone else? I apologize for not having been able to communicate with everyone like I wanted to. I hope everyone is meeting their own personal goals. I'll be catching up with all the e-mails next. You guys have sure filled up my box! Good luck over the next few days. -Kelly |

Hi. Thanks to everyone who's been giving me updates. This challenge is still anybody's game. I wanted to point out to anyone who's struggling: it's a new month.There's more than a month left in the challenge. If you've slacked, stumbled, indulged...it's not too late! This month will pass whether you do anything about it or not. You will most likely weigh less or weigh more --make it less! Even if it's by a few pounds. Get ahead of the New Year's dieters. Come on! We're ALL with you. |
