    Carb cravings are killing me....

    Yup - I definitely have a thing for cereal! I love the tip on ice cold water- 35 calories just to bring the water to body temp!! I guess I am trying to cut down on carbs and ensure that I get enough protein. Being a veggie, I'm more inclined towards a high carb diet. I've been getting a lot...

    Carb cravings are killing me....

    Has anyone had carb cravings strong enough to send them to bed dreaming about All Bran cereal?!! That's how carb addicted I feel at the moment. It's not even that I want cookies or ice cream. All I want to eat is starchy stuff like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, oatbran, millet, fiber one cereal...

    Capri pants for "pears"?

    I'm not a pear but I do have large hips. I bought some Jones New York capris (from their last year's sports collection, I think) that are narrow at the waist with roomy hips - I found them in Marshalls. They do have a flared bottom though and I know a lot of women prefer a tapered fit. I...

    Intuitive Eating Checkin 4/15

    Hey everyone - summer is definitely lifting my spirits (no more trying to get warm all the time!) I did some work in the yard and I realised how great it is to have good levels of energy to enjoy the small things in life. I too have bought myself summer clothes in a size 4 (rather than one...

    A good nutritional cookbook?

    My current fave is 'The Healthy Kitchen' by Andrew Weil and Rosie Daley. It fits in perfectly with my philosophy of clean eating - (whole grains, beans, fruit and veg). I love the way they use herbs, spices and sauces from around the world like tamari, ginger, tumeric, cilantro, miso etc. to...

    Intuitive Eating Check'm in 4/08-14

    RE: IE Hey Jen! Know what you mean - My stomach feels as bloated as my big green exercise ball today. Last week was great for me - I successfully treated food and exercise as 2 seperate entities, both to be enjoyed in their right. Gosh, I even put granola on top of my yogurt and enjoyed...

    Power Hour or Pure Strength?

    LAST EDITED ON Apr-12-02 AT 01:32PM (Est)[p]I do not have Power Hour (though I am sure I will end up ordering it soon) but PS is wonderful. I love raving about it at every opportunity I get to anyone who will listen. I used it for 6 weeks. The pace allowed me to go really heavy with weights...

    For People Who Quit Eating SUGAR!!

    RE: organic/sugar.... Hi - I have shopped at a whole foods health market for nearly 2 years now and as far as I can tell, a chocolate chip muffin made with white flour and sugar from their bakery is the same as a chocolate muffin from an ordinary grocery store (from the health point of view)...

    depressed from taking a week off

    I feel totally unworthy when I have not exercised - but then, I definitely do have a problem! Wish my body was able to take all the high impact stuff I plan for it. Unfortunately it has a way of going all stubborn on me when it has had enough. The way I feel better about rest days is by...

    How do I find out how many calories I should eat?

    Wow - have I agonised over the question of how many calories to eat for a long time! I still have not come up with a concrete answer. There is a tonne of info out there on how many calories you should eat depending on your weight, height and activity levels. There is a fairly sensible calorie...
