Preservatives in Nutrional Supplements 2 Replies

Hi, I would really appreciate opinions about how you feel about taking a supplement that contains preservatives. I personally feel that if I am going to take a nutrional supplement I want all of i...

Anyone used Soapnuts? 3 Replies

I guess soapnuts don't have much to do with food, but more about green living and helping the environment. However, you can wash your food in the soapnuts liquid to get rid of the pesticides. Soapn...

I like my men strong, and my tea stronger.....

I told my boyfriend I was cutting out artificial sweeteners from my diet last night, and I was surprised by his reaction.... well, not that surprised. He just doesn't want me to become too "extreme" in my diet, cutting things out, etc. In his mind, Everything is ok in moderation, which I am very much down with.... except in this case. I think there is just too much evidence against it, on top of the fact that my body reacts unfavorably toward it. Just the simple fact that doctors often tell preg… Continue

Diet Coke, R.I.P.

This is day three of my new resolution to remove artificial sweeteners from my diet (http://www.foodspark.com/forum/topic/show?id=2012733%3ATopic%3A14768). I am not feeling any particular symptoms of withdrawal, but my mental dependency on carbonated diet beverages is obvious. I'm giving away the diet cokes in my fridge. I'm drinking my jasmine tea with a little real sugar this morning, and keep thinking how nice it would be to toss in an equal. But, on the other hand, I know that this will be g… Continue

Nutrition and Mental Health Part III

In my first two Nutrition and Mental Health posts I addressed the issues of adrenal imbalances, blood sugar issues, allergies, thyroid problems, B vitamin deficiencies, essential fatty acid deficiencies and how they can all directly impact mental well being. The next four issues I… Continue

I'm baaaaack!

Ya baby! LOL Well, after the week long not-so-weight-reducing-eating-habits followed by the weekend wedding celebrations, and combine that with getting my period and I managed to find my weight up 6 pounds. Ouch. BUT, drumroll please..... I went back on the Flat Belly Diet jumpstart to eliminate any of the fluid retention weight and as of this morning I was back down 5.5 of those pounds. Yippeeee! So now I can get back to the business of dumping this weight! I'm feeling good, although I admit wi… Continue

Checkin in

Been a while since I updated here... I managed to stay really well on my eating plan for a full... 5 weeks or so, and lost a total of 15 pounds in that time. It really started to show, and definitely felt it in my clothes. I really love how easy the diet has been to incorporate into my lifestyle and that I had no cravings... Until... last week. Mwah mwah mwaaaaah. LOL Cravings started last Friday... I'm not sure if they are PMS (a whole week of PMS? Is that normal? I've never really experienced… Continue

Do you hate to exercise?

Cindy's comment to me in my last blog posting got me thinking... so much of our lifestyle choices, and how well we consistently are able to make changes for the long term is really determined by our perspective on them. It really can be such a small shift in the way we look at things that makes the most impact on our success. As Cindy reminded me, focus on what you CAN eat rather than what you CAN'T. Hm, suddenly doesn't seem so much like I'm being restricted, or even "on a diet" does it? There'… Continue

John English J.M.S. Nutrition Program

Hi everyone, It's been awhile since I've made a post or been an active presence on the site. I've been really busy with a project and I thought I would share some good news. For the past couple of months myself, as well as a few other key people (some of whom are FoodSpark members), have been working hard on starting a nutrition program for my daughter's school, John English J.M.S. We will start our pilot project by serving a healthy, buffet style lunch one day a week starting this Friday! Lunc… Continue

Still hanging in there....

So... 3 weeks now and I'm still hanging in... I have had no cravings at all until just this weekend (I think PMS is rearing its ugly head).... I allowed myself a "cheat meal" of a good burger (whole wheat bun, with guacamole and veggies and horseradish on it!) and New York fries. Other than that, my calorie intake may have been a little high on the weekend, but I was very active this weekend so I'm not worried about that. I didn't lose any pounds this past week though, and now, well, PMS and tha… Continue

LOCAVORE

The Oxford American dictionary has announced it's 2007 word of the year is locavore. This is one, and the preferred iteration by me, of the numerous terms used to describe the movement towards local sustainable and organic food stuffs. The movement is comprised of a variety of groups such as, environmentalists, hippies, gastronomes, yuppies and me [I may fit into none, some or all of these categories]. This is one of those issues that I feel the need to shamelessly plug from time to time. I hop… Continue
