a few suggestions for those who are trying to avoid processed foods and/or refined sugar:
check out The Eat-Clean Diet and The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook by Tosca Reno. Actually she has several cookbooks available. I have 3 of them. They are very good, emphasizing using real food (vs. processed) and give lots of info on healthy food decisions. If you like these, there's also "Clean Eating" magazine. It's published in Canada but I find it at my local Fred Meyer. It also has a website:
http://www.cleaneating.com
as a sugar substitute in coffee/tea, try Stevia. It's completely natural from the stevia plant. No chemicals, calories, carbs, fat, . . . . It's quite a bit sweeter than sugar and I usually get 3-4 cups of tea sweetened by one little packet. If you try it, try it in small amounts first because a little goes a long way. It's gaining in popularity and is now easier to find in regular grocery stores. Most natural food stores will have it too.

It seems a lot of us didn't loss any or very little weight this week. It must have to do with the weather or global warming, we have to blame it on something. Maybe it is some sort of Mega food corp propaganda and they are working with the medical field and really what we think we are eating in points or calories we're not it is actually more. This is so we won't loss weight, have medical problems and have to go to the doctor more often. I think that is it, it is not us it is THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: ;) ;) ;) :lol: :lol:
I don't understand how there could be global warming when area of the country that are usually warm had snow and ice. I think they are wrong they got it backwards there isn't global warming and it is going to be another ice age. But that is just my opinion. :roll: :roll: :roll:
BIG BROTHER JUST WANTS TO DRIVE US CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!
