• I have to read the label every time

  I’ve been enjoying some rice noodles with vegetables and a splash of soy sauce. However, I just looked at the soy sauce label and it has WHEAT!!! Darn it, it’s such a good tasting brand too, so full of flavor that I only need a little dash. I’m not blaming the makers, I guess I [...]

• Going a bit crazy from trying to lose weight right now

  I got on the scales yesterday for my regular weigh-in, and was shocked to find out that I had GAINED WEIGHT! I don’t know how that is possible because I have been eating nothing, absolutely nothing but healthy foods for awhile. I am eating tons of veggies, good lean protein and no flour/gluten. There’s nothing [...]

• Working on my “Store”

  I’m actually logging into the site on a (semi) regular basis, but I’m trying to build a store full of healthy food products on the main page. I don’t know how long it’s going to take me to finish it, but I’d rather make sure I get all the right stuff, instead of rushing through [...]

• Zevia News Flash for Sunflower Market Shoppers!

  If you’re in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas and there’s a Sunflower Market nearby (Newflower in Texas), then head there tomorrow to stock up on Zevia, the only diet soda sweetened by stevia. It’s going to be three bucks a six pack, which works out to fifty cents a can. Sale is [...]

• Salad for breakfast is a FAIL!

  I decided to try an experiment and see if salad would be a good choice for me for breakfast. I love salad, could eat it for lunch every day, but how would it stand up as breakfast fare?
  I like eating big hearty breakfasts and light dinners, so when I woke up, my stomach was empty [...]

• Vegetables for breakfast???

  When you think of the typical breakfast, things like cereal, eggs, pancakes and pork products (ham, bacon, sausage) come to mind. I wonder why vegetables were never incorporated into the standard American breakfast? Oh yeah, I nearly forgot about potatoes, but considering they’re usually morphed into another shaped and then fried, I don’t think they [...]

• My new diet food: Huy Fong Sriracha Chili Sauce

   If you’re tired of eating diet food that’s dull and bland, you will LOVE Huy Fong Sriracha Chili Sauce . It is now my favorite sauce ever! Until I tried it, I always thought that one hot sauce is like another, right? I mean, all sauces use the same primary ingredients (chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, [...]

• Trying to get back in the saddle again

  I want to start blogging again because I have found that the more I blog about weight loss, the more time I spend offline thinking about my goals.  Strange thing is, once I’ve logged on here, my first inclination is to find a suitable theme. I don’t like the one I have now, and sorting [...]

• Dieting and genetic disorders

  Well, I was doing pretty good at watching what I was eating, and then suddenly my health took a severe turn for the worse. I’m better now and plan on blogging more about it later, but for now, I’m not watching my calories as closely as I was while I try to get a handle [...]
