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, [...]

Product Review: Stevita Spoonable Stevia

Let me start by saying I LOVE Stevita Spoonable so much that I’m not including my Amazon affiliate link because I want everyone to know this is an unbiased post.  I bought a small jar (2.8 oz) from Amazon a little while ago. I had been using other stevia products in my oatmeal, but wanted [...]

My 600-400-200 plan seems to be working

I came up with my own diet plan that I like a lot. I don’t know if anyone else is doing this, I haven’t been keeping up with the latest diet books. My idea is based on the old saying, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper”.  I eat [...]

What does Mott’s put in its Healthy Harvest Blueberry Applesauce?

NOTE: I wrote the following post, then decided to email Mott’s about their “natural flavors”in their Healthy Harvest Blueberry Applesauce. The email I received did NOTHING to allay my concerns, and I was told that their ingredients are FDA compliant and “Any ingredient that is not listed on the label is considered proprietary to our [...]

Waiting for my order to arrive…

I ordered a bunch of different types of food but it still hasn’t shown up yet. I haven’t blogged for a few days because I was hoping to post reviews on some of the stuff I purchased. I ordered some soups, some drinks, and even some tasty looking desserts. Let’s just hope that it all [...]

Let’s all go out and buy stevia!

I really like stevia. In case you haven’t heard of it, it’s a zero calorie sweetener made from the leaf of the stevia plant. That’s right, NO CALORIES and it tastes just like sugar. In a few minutes, I plan on logging onto Amazon and buying some products made by the Stevita company. They have [...]

Obesity can cause severe liver damage

I always knew there are health risks associated with being overweight, but I didn’t know it could cause nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, especially in teens. I have to admit that this report on MSNBC shocked me to the core. The story talks about patient such as a fifteen year old boy  at 5-feet-4 that weighed [...]

Little Jessica Leonard succeeds at weight loss

I don’t know if you’ve heard of her before, but just in case, she is the little seven year old girl that weighed over 400 pounds. Thankfully, CPS stepped in, took her away from her mother and put her in a supervised setting that controlled her eating and helped her become active.  According to this [...]
