Granola cereal with fruit is one of my faves…

I use Quakers http://www.blogcdn.com/www.thatsfit.com/media/2009/01/quaker-100-natural-granola-with-oats,-honey,-and-raisens-amazoncom.jpg except i use almond instead of raisin, use 1% milk, and add any fruit that you like…

Omelets with only egg whites and use vegetables such as spinach with fat free feta http://static-resources.goodguide.com/images/entities/all/226780.jpg is really good.

Turkey bacon is a healthy bacon substitute and taste just as great and in my opinion better than regular bacon. I usually use oscar meyer http://images.plumgoodfood.com/images/Kristin/aphotos/pantry/031308/lg/10245.jpg , dont forget to put a spoonful of salsa in ur omelete for seasoning ;p

answers:

These are **really** good. I always make a batch and stash them in the freezer! Theyre whole grain and healthy but have fruits, nuts, and juice in them to make them really flavorful. You should also know that its very forgiving; if you don’t have one of the ingredients, you can leave it out.Every other “healthy” muffin i have tried always has the consistency of an old sponge..

Morning Glory Muffins

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup ground flax seed
3/4 cup sugar
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 egg whites
1 egg
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1 medium tart apple, peeled and grated

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In another bowl, beat the egg whites, egg, applesauce, orange juice, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the carrots, pecans, coconut, raisins and apple.
Coat muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or use foil liners; fill three-fourths full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

Hi!

Have you ever heard of ‘Fat Loss 4 Idiots’ diet program? It’s one of the most sellable e-books ever written that talks about losing fat easily and quickly. If you wish, you can check it all out, there’s a link to a great blog in my source.

So, what is in it?

Generally, the Fat Loss for Idiots is a guide to losing weight and fat as the name implies. In the book, you will be able to read the rules involved in weight loss. These rules, also known as “10 Idiot Proof Rules of Weight Loss” are easy to understand and follow as they are stated in the simplest terms.

Another thing that the e-book contains is the diet generator. The book will give you meal plans that will last you for 11 days. So for each day, the book has a menu for you to follow.

What does it promise?

Fat Loss for Idiots promises a lot of things. For the most part, it promises to make you really lose weight. To be specific, the ebook is able to make you lose 9 pounds every eleven days.

Another big promise the ebook gives is that it can make you lose weight using a healthy meal plan. Many weight lose plans make you lose weight by skipping and scrimping on some things that your body needs such as fat. With the ebook, you can be sure that you won’t be having any of this. As a matter of fact, it will give you a menu of foods that are complete of the nutrients that your body needs. With this, you can be sure that even if you are losing weight, you are also well nourished.

Another thing that the ebook promises is that it makes room for those who are on a vegetarian diet. Unlike other weight loss guides that specifically tell you certain things such as forcing you to eat meat, the Fat Loss for Idiots respects your diet preferences. With this, anybody can take part of the program.

The best weight control diet allows you to eat the foods that you would normally eat, have in your refrigerator and cabinets. By timing when you eat certain foods, how many times a day you eat them, and balancing the types of food, your metabolism will burn what you take in and then some, because it knows you will be feeding it again shortly, instead of starving.

Check out my source – there’s a blog all about this diet with tons of info. Hope it works for you! Good luck!

answers:

Not necessarily. If you keep eating at the minimum calorie level you shouldn’t gain weight. You’ll probably end up with serious health problems after awhile though.

If you can’t eat healthy, I would suggest trying to “healthy up” your junk food at the very least. Buy a can of veggies and throw it in with your ramen. Only drink water, and throw in a low-cal flavor packet if you don’t like it plain. Buy whole-wheat chips, or dip your chips in hummis instead of in some unhealthy dip. Throw away the skin on your fried chicken. Etc etc. Would also REALLY suggest you buy this:

http://www.amazon.com/Fasta-Pasta-The-Microwave-Cooker/dp/B000YT2XOI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308875411&sr=8-1

So you can do some healthy cooking in the microwave. It’s excellent if you don’t know how to cook (or are too lazy/impatient to cook.) I have one and use it to make pasta and rice all the time. You don’t even have to stir. Read the reviews if you aren’t convinced. But it’s not worth losing weight if you ruin your health in the process. That kind of defeats the point of losing weight.

answers:

You can’t go wrong with fruits and vegetables. Try to eat six small meals throughout the day consisting mostly of fruits and/or vegetables. Also, drinking lots of water is one of the best things you can do. Some specific foods I enjoy are pears, apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. Of course you need to get some protein in your diet as well. For that I typically eat eggs (usually egg substitutes) or tuna. I also benefit from protein shakes using both soy and whey protein.

answers:

These Don’t Freeze Well:

Greasy foods (They just become greasier.)
Cake icings made with egg whites
Cream fillings and soft frostings
Pies made with custard or cream fillings
Fried foods (They tend to lose their crispness.)
Fruit jelly on sandwiches may soak into the bread.
Soft cheese, such as cream cheese (can become watery)
Mayonnaise (It separates; use salad dressing instead.)
Sour cream (It becomes thin and watery)
Potatoes cooked in soups and stews (They become mushy and may darken. If using potatoes, cook until barely soft and still firm; then freeze quickly.)

These Change During Freezing:

Gravies and other fat-based sauces may separate and need to be recombined by stirring or processing in the blender.
Thickened sauces may need thinning after freezing; thin with broth or milk.
Seasonings such as onions, herbs and flavorings used in recipes can change during freezing. These are best added during reheating to obtain accurate flavors.
Vegetables, pastas and grains used in cooked recipes usually are softer after freezing and reheating. (undercook before freezing, or add when dish is reheated)
Heavy cream can be frozen if used for cooking, but it will not whip after freezing.
Some yogurts may suffer texture changes.
Raw vegetables lose their crispness, but can be used for cooking, stews, etc.
Many cheeses change texture in the freezer. Most hard cheeses turn crumbly (which makes them okay for grating, but not for slicing)

From experience, I can tell you that nearly anything you see in your grocer’s freezer section can be frozen at home. Waffles, pancakes, sausage links & patties, ground beef & turkey, pasta dishes, chili, soups, stews, breads, stock, pizza crusts, casseroles … Etc.

The above facts came from http://www.stretcher.com/stories/03/03oct27d.cfm

Check the veggies and see if they feel like they have a coating then check and see if they look like their coloring is real or some food coloring.

I dont know how salt affect you diabetes, but your body doesnt care where it gets the sugar from. 1 g of natural sugar has the same effect as 1g of added sugar.

Im pretty sure diabetes is only affected by glucose and other sugars that contain glucose.

Lactose is made of 1 glucose and 1 galactose molecule, but I dont think the galactose will mess up your system.

This article says that galactose may show up as glucose on your blood meter and the diabetic would give himself insulin when he has a high galactose, but not neccecerily a high glucose.

Ask a doctor

____________________________________________
There have been reports of the inappropriate administration of insulin and consequent life-threatening/fatal hypoglycemia in response to erroneous test results obtained from patients receiving parenteral products containing maltose. Cases of true hypoglycemia can go untreated if the hypoglycemic state is masked by false elevation of glucose readings. Since hypoglycemia may be life threatening, it is important that health care providers prescribing and/or administering products containing the above sugars be aware of possible interference leading to incorrect results.

All dry can have serious consequences…all dry food has a certain level of ash as a filler content, but the better brands (such as you describe) are minimal…the oils in canned foods (such as kal-kan, or even figaro tuna, which my cat loves) helps them digest a bit better…I lost a cat (male) to urinary tract blockage caused by this ash content. It affects males more than females for obvious reasons…so a 1/4 can (small ones) once a day is a good thing!…good luck!

What is the botanical name of the plant you are referring to? There are many plants in the Daphne genus and there are plants called Daphne that are a different genus, Laurus nobilis is an example. Best to start with the specific plant.
Some plant materials simply don’t lend themselves well to steam distillation or other extraction methods. Not all plants have been commercially distilled. If you are going to find any true Daphne genus product, it will likely be an enfleurage made by a hobbyist.

Rather than run around trying to find products that turn out to make your skin dry and other side effects or just plain dont work, try going on the pill. I went on it and i have no back acne anymore and i get i zit every two weeks instead of 10 in a week

answers:

If a product makes your skin get worse, stop using it.

Allergies are complex. Some people have allergies to chamomile, even, and there are numerous chemical irritants in many skin-care products.

Acne washes tend to dry out skin because acne is often caused by overly oily skin. If your skin is too dry, you might want to stop using the. For dry skin, I’ve had the best luck using pure, all-natural products (like shea butter) instead of complex lotions that have many chemical additives.

Two other things to consider are stress and humidity. Stress is a major cause of acne, and stress will always make acne worse. Spending time to relax every day, making sure you’re not worrying too much about things, and working through your worries can go a long way to making your acne going away. As with any problem, the worst thing you can do is to think more / worry more about it…as this causes stress which just makes it worse.

If you are in dry air (cold outdoor air in winter, combined with hot, dry indoor air from heat) this can make your skin worse. Consider hanging out in more humid areas when possible, or getting a humidifier (something simple like setting a pan of water on the radiator, if you have radiator heat, can make a huge difference).

Good luck!

There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.

It was even televised on TV.

It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and

blemishes. Fast results too! (It has been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)

Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.

This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. Definitely a deal) on ebay at:

Search up “best acne solution ever” on ebay. First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can buy the whole container for $160

It’s expensive, but the product DOES work

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.

I don’t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.

I hope this helps. =)

Alba is fantastic. Love their products. I recommend their sea kelp line. The toner cleared me right up when used regularly.

answers:

Genetics might not be the problem at all. Have you talked with your doctor about what could have caused the miscarriages? Sometimes just getting pregnant too soon after a miscarriage ‘could’ cause another. If that’s what happened, then just give your body a longer chance to rest and heal. Stress can cause a miscarriage, so can abuse, a tipped uterus, placenta abruption, and a whole bunch of other reasons. It’s weird how it works, there’s no guarantee, no promises a doc can make. I had a healthy child, then several miscarriages, then two more healthy children. So just because someone has several miscarriages in a row does not necessarily mean that will happen next time. Unfortunately, it’s like rolling dice, taking our chances, hoping/praying for the best. It can be scary, but try to relax. You’ve had two healthy children, am betting you can have another even tho you’ve lost some.

Some cold lunches…

celery with peanut butter

Some warm lunches…
Any leftovers from the night before
pretzels with a cheese dip (crackers too)
warm lowfat muffins (so good!)

To keep foods warm you can buy insulated lunch boxes or things that are kind of like ice packs but you microwave them and stick them in your lunch box to keep things heated. They are fairly inexpensive and can be found in any grocery store or walmart even. These are just some of the foods that I take to school for lunches. Healthy snack options to take would be granola bars, pretzels, lightly buttered popcorn, trail mix, a couple pieces of dark chocolate.

She can definitely have healthy kids. Her risk of having a child with Downs Syndrome *greatly* increases with age, though. The doctor will most likely consider her pregnancy to be high risk based on her age alone. She will most likely have an amniocentesis done to screen out possible defects and conditions in the fetus.

A female is born with all the eggs she will ever have, so consider that the egg itself is 40 years old. It does increase the likelihood of problems, but really, a heck of a lot of women that age sail through it with no problems.

You will need to eat 5-6 SMALL meals a day and 8-12 glasses of water a day. Also, you want to exercise. You can exercise monday-thursday doing 2 days of cardio and 2 days of weight training. Also, work on ur abs and do 8 minute abs video on youtube. You can work your abs on a daily basis. In those 5-6 meals you can have a protein shake and a protein bar or just 2 protein shakes a day. I recommend for the protein shake: EAS, Elite or Champion, and for the protein bar: Power Crunch Bar or EAS with 28g of protein and 1-2g of sugar. If you are going to do the protein bar and the shake I recommend you drink the protein shake after your workout and eat the protein bar at night. Good luck.

On the other hand, without conventional modern farming, a whole lot of people would die of malnutrition. Of course organic products are better for both human health and the environment, but it is difficult to scale up organic production to feed the entire world. The awareness of the problems associated with conventional farming, however, is slowly leading to new developments that should allow food to be grown on the massive scale the world requires without the use of high concentrations of pesticides and fertilizers. So buying organic is a good thing, because it will make development of such products more profitable and encourage their development.

answers:

Organic is better and recommended for those suffering from cancer and liver problems. Why wait until you reach a crisis to enjoy organic foods? Your liver has to process all chemicals that we eat, drink and breathe and organic foods are one less burden for the liver. They also taste better, carrots are sweeter for example. Artificial fertilizers cause plants to grow bigger and faster but not uptake the important nutrients from already depleted soils so the foods will not be as nutritious either.

They cost more because it takes more energy to remove bugs and pull weeds or plant compatible plants such as marigolds which are natural pesticide plants.

“Organic” is typically a crock…there are no real laws with teeth governing what can and cannot be labeled ‘organic’, and the term itself makes no sense; what, exactly, would an inorganic carrot be? An orange rock?

answers:

Organic foods have higher nutrient content and less toxins, and are therefore much healthier than non-organic.

“Organically grown food is your best way of reducing exposure to toxins used in conventional agricultural practices. These toxins include not only pesticides, many of which have been federally classified as potential cancer-causing agents, but also heavy metals such as lead and mercury, and solvents like benzene and toluene. Minimizing exposure to these toxins is of major benefit to your health. Heavy metals damage nerve function, contributing to diseases such as multiple sclerosis and lowering IQ, and also block hemoglobin production, causing anemia. Solvents damage white cells, lowering the immune system’s ability to resist infections. In addition to significantly lessening your exposure to these health-robbing substances, organically grown foods have been shown to contain substantially higher levels of nutrients such as protein, vitamin C and many minerals.”

You can still eat meat, just eat organic meat (free-range eggs and chicken, grass-fed bison, organic milk) if you can. Watch out for mercury and antibiotics in fish, either eat occasionally, or eat wild fish that is low in mercury concentration (like wild salmon). Farm-raised fish tend to have high anti-biotic concentration.

Age to work is different from state to state. Some states allow as young as 14 with parents permission (limited hours) but I’m sure at 17 you could work most anywhere.

Most colleges are going to look to see if you worked while in high-school – it’s an asset when applying so it’s a win/win situation for you to be working.
