justingirl1989 Pizza for Breakfast? Yes! Mar 18, 2008 7:34 AM know what you're thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can crack open last night's leftovers in the a.m. if you want to. I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don't have time, others think they're "saving" calories by eliminating a meal, still others just don't like breakfast food. But the bottom line is, eating in the morning is crucial when you're trying to trim down. "Eating just about anything in the range of 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all," says SELF contributor Katherine Brooking, R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year's SELF Challenge. And even pizza can be healthy if it's thin-crust, loaded with veggies, and you stick to one slice. Breakfast is one meal I never miss (my favorite morning combo includes Fage nonfat yogurt topped with fresh fruit and low-carb granola, yum!), and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast revs up your metabolism, keeps you from overeating later in the day and may even help sleekify your abs. Researchers at the University of Southern California at Los Angeles found that breakfast skippers have bigger tummies than those who regularly have a morning meal. So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of pals who end up forgoing it altogether to have just coffee or cola. I say, try heating up last night's leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! really? ..didnt know :) source: yahoo.com
suzanne Xylitol Anyone! Jan 4, 2008 12:14 PM Is anyone else out there using Xylitol as a substitute for sugar? A cardiologist cookbook author suggested that I use it rather than a processed sugar substitute like Splenda - so I did and have never looked back! It tastes and measures exactly like sugar, but has virtually no glycemic index. It's an ideal sweetener for diabetics... and dentists like it because it helps prevert tooth decay. Xylitol has allowed me to keep my weight on track and still indulge my passion for baking, and then enjoy the fruits of my labors. Here's my latest cake creation that is virtually sugar free (and maybe a little lopsided,) but 100% decadent. Deep Dark Chocolate Cake When I get a minute, I'll post the recipe on "Lighten it up."
oatmeal_bliss Eat Clean Diet Dec 22, 2007 1:03 PM Does anyone have any personal experience with the Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno? I just started reading about it online and have read some good reviews. But I was wondering if any Sugars had read her book? The basic premise seems to be eating several small meals throughout the day and avoiding processed foods. Thanks!
justingirl1989 Top Ways to Stay Skinny in the Season of Temptations Dec 20, 2007 10:48 AM Honestly, eggnog’s the least of it. In this busy tizzy of a season, it’s the grab-and-go foods you swore off only yesterday--the morning doughnut, the Whopper at the mall, the bag of chips that mysteriously fell into your grocery cart--that get to your hips. Your choices: 1) Say what-the-hey, splurge, and pray. 2) Splurge and do an extra hour on the elliptical trainer (but who has time!). Or 3) find some wiggle room. We’d opt for number three every time, so here are our top 5 eat-and-run treats. 1. Munchy and crunchy: potato chips This one’s a snap: Walk right past the Pringles and grab a bag of Baked Lay’s Original Chips. Not only are Baked Lay’s worth eating but lots of chips lovers actually like them better than the original (less grease, more crunch). The BBQ flavor gets singled out especially. And you’ll save 50 calories and almost 10 grams of fat per ounce! 2. Soft and sweet: a cream-filled, chocolate-frosted Krispy Kreme doughnut When something inside of you has to have a) chocolate and b) a Krispy Kreme, order three of their Glazed Chocolate Cake doughnut holes instead. For a much smaller tab--160 calories instead of 350, and 8 grams of fat instead of 20--you can still get your fix! 3. Solid and Satisfying: Snickers This may not sound like it will satisfy your candy-bar craving, but trust us. Instead of a 2-ounce Snickers bar--with its 280 calories and 14 grams of fat--rip into a Chocolate Chunk Quaker Chewy Low-Fat Granola Bar. The stunning difference: The granola bar packs 110 calories and a measly 2 grams of fat. Can you feel your waist shrinking already? 4. Thick and juicy: a quarter-pounder You’re driving by a string of fast-food joints when a burger attack strikes. Choose Burger King and order a Whopper Jr. While the fat content of fast-food burgers is basically the same across the board--about 20 grams each--BK’s unofficial quarter-pounder beats the competition otherwise: 370 calories, versus 410 for a quarter-pounder at McDonald’s and 430 for one at Wendy’s (with no cheese). Hold the mayo on your BK burger to knock off almost another 100 calories. 5. Brunch-y and Beautiful: eggs Benedict It’s weekend brunchtime and you’re itching to whip up your famous cardiac-arrest special--two eggs, English muffin, Canadian bacon, Hollandaise sauce, the whole delicious disaster. You don’t want to know. You do? Okay. A classic eggs Benedict recipe comes to 892 calories and 72 grams of fat. Just as satisfying but a lot less scary is this version from Easy Home Cooking magazine that's only 237 calories and 6 grams of fat. If you also make the English muffin whole wheat, you’re practically a model of virtue! this is making me hungry..:feedme: source: http://food.yahoo.com/blog/beautyeats/21886/5-top-ways-to-stay-skinny-in-the-season-of-temptations
