Hello. I hope you had happy holidays! I thought for today (as we count down to the new year) it would be fun to list my top 11 low calorie foods that I've blogged about to date in 2008. It goes without saying that I enjoy all the foods I blog about, but there are a few that I love so much that sometimes I wish I could mark them separately so you know to pay special attention. So, here are my top p

Hello! I thought it would be fun to use this quieter time (and maybe a couple more over the holidays) to recap some of my favorite postings on Yummy Diet Food to date. Here are some of my low calorie recipe postings from 2008:Popovers: If you've never had a popover before, it is a delicious hollow "puffed" roll, with a unique, light, eggy inside. Sadly, after I left home to go to college, I went m

Most of you know that alcoholic drinks contain loads of calories and promote fat storage in the body. If you didn’t, now you do. But we still enjoy a few drinks. Like food, not all drinks are equally bad. There are some lower calorie options. So watch what you drink at the bar, and it [...]

Hello. Happy Monday and Happy Holidays!I’ve been trying to create low calorie versions of my favorite treats, and recently I’ve turned to one of my favorite breakfast treats: pancakes. I started with a classic buttermilk pancake recipe, and then just trimmed calories wherever I thought I could without affecting taste or consistency too much. I made a classic batch and a low calorie batch bac

I love drinking egg nog around the holidays (sorry to the vegans who read my blog -- you may want to skip this posting). However, not being a huge milk fan, I've bought Soy Nog in the past (which I affectionately refer to as "Sog"). Soy Nog is delicious, but it is pretty high in calories, at 90 calories per half cup serving (their label is a bit misleading by having such a small serving size). So,

The amount of calories that you consume on a daily basis will determine whether you gain or lose weight and this is one of the most important aspects of any weight loss program that you decide to go on. Studies have been taken where overweight people believed they were eating no more food than other people [...]

Not quite Christmas cookies so not quite zero calories, and not quite edible either. But what a great substitute for the fat and calorie laden real thing! Knitted cookies!Hungry for a sweet temptation but don't want the calories? Here's a versatile pattern that will help you use up scrap yarn and keep your creativity fl

During the Winter, there's nothing quite like a glass of hot drinking chocolate, especially when it is cold. Unfortunately (or fortunately for some people), it hasn't been very cold here in California, but we have had a few "chilly" nights. I love hot chocolate although the low calorie ones tend to be full of artificial sweeteners, which as you know, I avoid. I'm always looking around Whole Foods

I was a huge Cool Whip fan during the part of my life when I was less ingredient conscious (and I didn't know that it had hydrogenated oils in it). I then switched to a different favorite whipped topping, Fat Free Reddi Wip which I still love, although, I've found that the container seems to run out of whipped cream before it should (I weigh the servings). So, I can't tell you how excited I was wh

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I'd attempt to create some low calorie mashed potatoes, which are by far my favorite food to eat at Thanksgiving. I also decided to make low calorie mashed sweet potatoes (which are so filling with their subtle sweet taste) at the same time to see how they'd turn out.Both recipes came out really well and if you are planning on avoiding mashed potatoes all t

One of the hardest things about dieting is denying yourself all the tasty treats that caused you to need to diet in the first place. The candy displays at the checkout line can be the downfall of a dieter who has only the best intentions. The Kit Kats and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups [...]

There is a lot of debate over negative calorie diet and whether they work or not. The idea of any diet where you can eat as much as you want of certain foods is very appealing. But the truth is that most of us just can’t eat tomatoes, carrots and celery all day and feel full. [...]

Do you eat those yoghurt and fruit cups assuming that they’re healthy? Well then, you need to watch out. The fruit and yoghurt cups sold in the stores are loaded with sugar- almost as much sugar as a soft drink. Sugar has a high glycemic index and promotes fat storage in your body. Yogurt has many [...]

Today I thought I'd write about a quick and easy recipe for low calorie & low fat quesadillas that leverages a few of the foods I've blogged about in the past few months. I make quesadillas this way at least once a week for dinner, as I find them incredibly satisfying and as good as if not better than getting a quesadilla in a Mexican restaurant (and definitely better for you). Below is the r

By Tory Klementsen Just because Thanksgiving is, traditionally, a feast doesn’t mean it has to be a high calorie feast. It’s actually a meal that is relatively easy to make into a tasty, healthy feast. Turkey is extremely low in fat, particularly the white meat of the breast at just 30 calories per ounce (without skin), it’s [...]

I recently received an email from an obvious online marketer promoting the wildly popular fat loss 4 idiots diet program, which is based on the theory of calorie shifting. I didn’t bite but I’ll admit the promises are very enticing. Claims like “Lose 9 pounds every 11 days” always spark my interest and curiosity. So [...]

Sometimes I love to have a little ice cream after my dinner, but I don't want it to be too heavy or to have a lot of added calories. For a long time I was eating Julie's low calorie ice cream sandwiches which I think are the most delicious low calorie ice cream sandwiches I've ever had (the ice cream tastes as rich as regular ice cream). But, after a while, I decided I wanted to try a few other ic

A few months ago when I did a posting on whole wheat spaghetti, I mentioned that I am not a huge fan of tofu noodles. Overall I think it is awesome that they are so amazingly low calorie, but at the same time, the tofu after-taste that accompanies them makes the noodles much less appealing. Also, I always figured that an extra 150 calories for real whole wheat noodles and more normal spaghetti was

I'm a big fan of Amy's organic foods - they are very tasty, convenient, made with healthy all natural ingredients, and often very low calorie as well! I've written before about Amy's low calorie soup, steel cut oatmeal, and her macaroni and soy cheese.Today, I wanted to write about two of her pocket sandwiches, which are an awesome find for a quick and filling low calorie lunch.Tofu Scramble Pocke

I love Kind bars -- they are all natural and contain ingredients like fruits, dates, nuts, honey, etc. like Lara Bars (which I also love), but they are more crunchy and more nutty, which is what I crave sometimes. The only issue with Kind bars is that they can be a bit high calorie (despite all their great ingredients) simply because honey, nuts, coconut, etc. put together is a healthy, but not ex

There are countless diets out there that claim to help you lose weight. Each one will have some significant element however it all boils down to one thing - the almighty calorie. Calories come in a variety of forms such as fat calories or carbohydrate calories. The bottom line is that at the end of the day, you will have wanted to burn off as many calories as possible that you consume in

Hello! I decided to try something different today -- I've invited a wonderful blogger named Jenn to come blog about a delicious recipe I discovered on her blog.

My name is Jenn and I've been a food blogger for roughly seven months now. Through my blog, eating ben

So, I'm a total sucker for cereal, whether it is for breakfast, lunch, a snack, or for dinner -- it is one of my favorite staples. Cereal is also one of my favorite foods to get creative with! There are just so many things you can do with it, and I feel comfortable experimenting since it always seems to turn out good (even when it doesn't end up looking appetizing). So, today I thought I'd talk a

I love Indian food and I absolutely adore naan. It is just *so good* - probably one of my all-time favorite foods. I'm actually going to India really soon, and I have to say, I'm extremely excited about finally getting to eat authentic Indian food, including actual naan made in India!In case you don't know what naan is -- it is a delicious authentic indian flat bread that is cooked in a clay tand

Okay, so this isn't going to be the most interesting post I've ever written and Ragu Pizza Sauce obviously isn't the most unique or intriguing food to be blogging about. But, I've been meaning to write about Ragu Homemade Style Pizza Sauce for a long time, simply because I absolutely love it (don't tell anyone but I have been seen eating it on its own, right from the spoon).Here are some facts abo

Overeating can make your brain go haywire, prompting a cascade of damage that may cause diabetes, heart disease and other ills. Eating too much activates a normally dormant immune system pathway in your brain, which sends out immune cells to attack and destroy invaders that are not there. This finding could help explain why obesity causes so many different diseases. Studies that have shown that ob

I absolutely love combining granola and yogurt to make what is known by some as a yogurt sundae! But, because granola tends to be so high in calories and fat, I've pretty much removed it from my diet. Not eating granola has become especially challenging for me lately, as Jamba Juice (which I both love & frequent) has added a yogurt granola "smoothie" to their menu (not low calorie, but looks d

If you are on a diet but can help dining out, why not try the ZeroCal - the negative calorie food container. * The meals contain a large proportion of foods with negative calories (cauliflower, cucumbers, celery, garlic etc.) creating a calorie deficit. * •Many high-calorie foods (like meat) are substituted with lower-calorie foods that are just as delicious (like seafood). * •The re

Light Calorie CookingMany people these days want to control their diets so they are eating low calorie foods, but low calorie foods that still taste great. The way to get low calorie foods that taste great is through light calorie cooking. There are a few tips to consider when embarking on light calorie cooking adventures where the calories are low but the taste is high.Margarine As Opposed to But

Calories in...calories out. That, in a nutshell is weight loss. However, not paying close attention to "calories in and calories out" can lead to more than just weight loss when doing cardio exercises. That would be muscle loss and a metabolic slowdown (which would lead to fat storage) due to a high calorie deficit (you burned off way more calories than you consumed).What makes weight loss faster

I often read articles about vegan eating or raw food diets that I find very intriguing, but at the end of the day, I have trouble integrating these diets into my busy lifestyle. Unfortunately for my eating life, I have a demanding day job as a product manager in high tech, and when I'm not working hard, I like to spend my time working out at the gym (or blogging!). Also, history has told me that I

When it comes to foods to lose weight, fiber is right up there on the top of the list. Getting an adequate amount of fiber in your daily diet not only helps with your digestive system, but eating foods with fiber can help tremendously with weight loss, fat loss, and several other health issues.Fiber is great for weight loss since it increases satiety (fullness). The recommended amount of fiber dai

I absolutely love Indian Food, sometimes a little too much. So, I'm always on the lookout for low calorie Indian options at the store. When I saw some low calorie organic Vegetarian Indian Curry flavored won tons (aka mini-pot stickers) at Whole Foods, I just had to try them!In order to cook the won tons, I sprayed some non-stick cooking spray into a pan, and then I "pan-fried" them without any ad

Generally speaking, I'm not a huge popsicle fan, however I am always on the lookout for low calorie coconut flavored foods. So, when I saw an all natural, relatively low calorie creamy coconut-flavored popsicle bar at the grocery store a while ago, I decided I might as well try it. Still somewhat skeptical, I decided to eat one for dessert one night, and I have to say I was really pleasantly surpr

My last few blog posts have been about really healthy foods, so today I thought I'd blog about something that still has good ingredients (no high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols), but is a bit more of a splurge item (and happens to be packaged).Health is Wealth makes delicious all-natural vegetarian and vegan foods that I have savored for a long time

A while ago when I blogged about fiberful bars (made by Trader Joe's), I mentioned that I would later blog about an additional (and equally yummy) fruit bar that I also love! This totally natural & organic bar is made by Fruitabu and is called "smooshed," and luckily it is a bit easier to find in stores than the fiberful bar (especially for those of you who don't have a Trader Joes near by).

I always loved English muffins as a kid, but I've steered clear of them through many years of dieting and watching my weight, because I always assumed they were high calorie like other white colored breads that I knew I needed to avoid. But, I recently rediscovered them (ironically they were in my refrigerator because someone I live with eats them a lot), when I happened to see the nutritional in

I recently discovered some completely raw chips in the "extremely natural foods" aisle at Whole Foods. They looked interesting so I turned them over and was overjoyed by the calorie information -- 1 oz (28g) of chips for 40 calories, 2.5g of fat, and 2g of fiber! So, basically, one serving of these chips is only 1 weight watchers point (and extremely low in calories) vs. other chips which are usua

There are two things about regular ice cream cones that you might not know: (1) they are very low in calorie, sometimes as low as 15 or 20 calories, and (2) almost all of them that you can buy at your grocery store contain hydrogenated oils (yes, trans fats). So, from a calorie perspective cones can be a great part of one's diet, however, from an ingredient/health perspective they are completely o

Hi all, Evan again. Since Juliet isn't a big meat eater, she asked me to do an occasional post on healthy meat ideas. Today, I decided to do post about a healthy recipe for yogurt “fried” chicken. The key to delicious low-calorie chicken is baking instead of frying, thus allowing you to avoid saturating a healthy high-protein chicken breast with tons of fat. Don’t worry, if done right ba

I first sampled all-natural Izze sparkling juices at a Chocolate Festival in San Francisco (yeah... probably not the best place for someone watching her weight, but it was fun to try it once). The people at the Izze booth actually gave me an entire bottle of the Pomegranate flavor, and out of all the things at the festival that I ate and drank, it was the thing I remembered liking the most. At the

I love gnocchi, but it is one of those foods that a person usually doesn't think of when they think of eating a low calorie meal. However, Trader Giotto (aka Trader Joe's) makes a really tasty, low calorie Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. It is made with all natural potato gnocchi (with no preservatives), combined with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. You can cook the gnocchi in less than 7 minutes on

Although they look like muffins to me, Zen Bakery calls these fabulous, high fiber blueberry muffins by the name of "fiber cakes". Perhaps it is because each one contains a whopping 13g of natural fiber which makes them incredibly filling despite their somewhat petite size (they really aren't that small, but compared to the muffins you'd buy at a bakery, they are somewhat small).These fiber cakes

I'm a huge fan of trail mix, although I've unfortunately found that there are few very low calorie trail mixes that you can buy at the store. You can, of course, make your own trail mix at home by combining and weighing ingredients like soy nuts, small chocolate chips, dried fruit, cereal, etc., but sometimes it is nice to buy yummy pre-made trail mix for times when you want a diverse snack or wan

I absolutely love restaurant style tortilla chips, which is one of the reasons I generally avoid Mexican restaurants, where they give you a giant basket of warm tortilla chips with unlimited refills to crunch on while you wait for your meal. As such, I'm always on the lookout for tortilla chips that are restaurant style, but available to eat at home where I can weight out an appropriate serving wi

I came across this wonderful recipe for a Sesame Asparagus and Carrot Stir-Fry in a Mayo Clinic cookbook over 8 years ago. I still love it! It is incredibly low calorie, super easy to make (I am not a very good cook), super filling, and it tastes great too! If you don't like carrots or asparagus, you might consider substituting your favorite vegetables in the recipe (you can substitute broccoli, g

My very first blog posting was about Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze Almond Milk, which at 40 calories per cup, is a great addition to any low calorie diet. But, shortly after I posted about it, the Unsweetened Almond Breeze became almost impossible to find (probably not related)! I inquired at my local Whole Foods (after *three* subsequent weeks of them not having any), where they told me that

A few months ago I came across Zenergize Vitamin Boost tablets at my local Whole Foods. They were a bit expensive (about $8 for a box of 10 tablets), but I decided to try them anyway since I figured they might taste good, and they might help me drink more water (and even get more vitamins) during the day. I have to say, they beat my expectations! At only 2 calories per tablet (0 weight watchers po

After my previous reviews of 180 Energy Drink I am really reluctant to try 180 Sugar Free Blue Energy Drink. I am really getting an aversion to these 180 Energy Drinks from Anheuser Busch.

Dieting and eating low calorie doesn't mean you have to give up cheese! Cheese and other dairy products are great sources of calcium as well as protein so it is great if you can find a way to incorporate low fat dairy into your diet.

Two different names for the same thing. You beg to differ?

I love Thai food, but I generally try to steer clear of Thai restaurants as there are just too many yummy, tempting, oily foods to "accidentally" eat.

NEW YORK - Customers at big fast-food chains in New York City are finally facing the facts about their meal choices. And for some, the truth may be hard to swallow - like 1,130 calories for a Big Mac, medium fries and a medium soda.After months of resistance, the city’s chain restaurants have begun obeying a first-of-its-kind rule requiring them to post calorie counts right on the menu.

Low calorie diet programs have been around forever. Is there any diet idea older than the low calorie diet? I don't think so. They consist of a very simple dieting idea: Eat less food.

I have to admit, there are days when I just don't feel like drinking plain water, and I have a feeling I am not alone.

Eating slowly can encourage people to eat less, and also enjoy the meal more. Researchers found that diners consumed an average of 70 fewer calories when they ate the meal slowly and chewed the food thoroughly. They also felt fuller and more satisfied after the meal.

So, I've decided to do a quick post about my two of my favorite types of hummus, and you can

Okay, I know frozen food isn't the "hippest" thing to eat, but sometimes we are just plain too busy too cook (at least that's oftentimes the case for me). Frozen food is great for these times.

OK, I’ll be really frank. One of the biggest reasons people fail to complete a diet is because of the food deprivation.

So when a close friend [...]

A 2,000 calorie diet is a good excellent for a diabetic who wants to elude a lot of load. Because it is not careful to cut down calorie intake too drastically at once, you can ensue a daily 2,000 calorie diet as a first stair in dipping your food consumption. For those just tiresome to assert weight, this number should eventually be cut down to 1,500 to 1,800 (women and men, respectively). Divide
