Some Healthy, Yummy, Spaghetti 2008-07-03 08:00:00 So, a lot of people I meet tell me about Tofu Shirataki noodles since they are extremely low in calories, and they also taste great. But, after eating them for a while, most people find themselves still yearning for a healthy, low calorie noodle, that is a little more noodle like, for those days that they crave pasta really badly. Well, De Boles has come to every pasta lover's rescue, with their Read more:Yummy

One of My Favorite Yummy Soups 2008-07-02 08:00:00 I absolutely love Amy's Low Sodium soups! They are great for people like me who are always super busy and always super hungry. There are so many reasons why eating soup is a great idea for your diet or healthy lifestyle: (1) it is really filling, (2) you get a great portion for a small amount of calories, and (3) it is a healthy choice relative to a lot of other food options (especially if you wa Read more:Yummy

Yummy "Pepperoni" 2008-07-01 08:00:00 Hi, my name is Evan, and I’m a friend of Juliet. She asked me, having a more meat-friendly perspective, to write a post about one of my favorite healthy meat substitutions: Hormel Turkey Pepperoni. This stuff is a great find! Since pepperoni derives its flavor from the spices and not the mystery meat it’s made of, the turkey version tastes exactly the same as any other pepperoni. As you ca Read more:Yummy
Weighing Your Yummy Food 2008-07-01 07:55:00 I thought I'd take a one day break from blogging about food, and take this time to blog about something else that helps me sustain a healthy lifestyle -- my digital kitchen scale. What I love about my scale is that it tells me the exact number of grams in the food that I'm eating. Then, I can go on the web and look up the exact number of calories, fat, and fiber in my foods (my favorite place to l Read more:Yummy
Some Yummy Nuts 2008-06-30 06:00:00 So, the other day, my husband and I were at Jamba Juice (a great smoothie place we frequent on the weekends ), and I looked down to see this cute little package of salt and pepper flavored pistachios. Now, I usually shy away from packages of nuts, since they often contain more than 500 calories (I saw some at Starbucks today with more than 600 calories!!), but, I decided to pick up the package no Read more:Yummy
One of My Favorite Yummy Desserts 2008-06-27 08:05:00 I absolutely love ice cream. I can't deny it. So, I still eat it, even as I strive to have a healthy, low-calorie diet. My love of ice cream and other desserts is one of the reasons that I love the weight watchers diet/lifestyle so much, since it gives me the ability to save some points for ice cream when I really want to eat it.So, in the spirit of weight watchers, I am always on the lookout for Read more:Yummy

Buffalo Chicken, without the Chicken 2008-06-26 18:30:00 So, I know you loyal meat eaters out there will be skeptical of this food recommendation, but I highly encourage you to get past the vegan label, and give these chicken-free buffalo wings a try! Now, as a not-big-meat-fan, I admit, I might be biased in recommending these chicken wings. But, my very-big-meat-fan husband loves them as well, so I'm confident that they will make even a meat eater quit Read more:Buffalo

Yummy Chocolate Wedges 2008-06-25 23:59:00 There has been a lot of talk lately in the news about chocolate actually being good for you! Yay!! My summary of everything I've read is that chocolate is good for you in moderation because it contains flavonoids and antioxidants, which many people believe are "health-promoting" for our hearts. This doesn't mean you should reach for the first candy bar you see, but it does mean you can work some c Read more:Yummy

Yummy Dried Fruit 2008-06-24 23:27:00 In general, dried fruits are a great choice when it comes to snacking. They are tasty (very sweet if you like sweet things) and they still contain fiber and nutrients. They are much better than reaching for something starchy like a bagel, or some of the other items you might find in an average vending machine.Sensible foods makes wonderful pouches of dried fruit that make a great filling & he Read more:Yummy

Banana Smoothies are Delicious... 2008-06-23 22:42:00 So today I thought I'd share with you my first recipe. It only has a few ingredients, but that doesn't mean it isn't super yummy.Use the following recipe to make a low calorie, healthy, banana smoothie that doesn't require any mixes, anything unnatural, or anything artificial.Here is the recipe:Step 1: Take a medium banana (~ 7") out of its peel. Split it in half, and put it in a Zip-lock bag. The Read more:Delicious
Whole Grain Z-Bars are not just for kids! 2008-06-22 21:14:00 So, most of us dieters know there has been a "bar craze" to accompany the "diet craze." There are so many bars at the supermarket to chose from, but not all of them are good for you or your diet (I've seen them go up to 400 calories which is way too much for such a small snack). So, when I look at bars, I look at the actual ingredients, the calories, the fat content, and the fiber content. I make Read more:Whole

You Can Eat Crepes While Dieting? 2008-06-21 23:44:00 Yah, you can! And they are *REALLY GOOD*, too. So, I recently found these wonderful crepes in the frozen food section at Whole Foods. I can't say that they are cheap (they are actually quite expensive), but they are low points (only 2 WW points per giant crepe). If you heat them up a bit, you can unfold them and spread them across an entire plate. Then you can put on them whatever you please. I pe Read more:Crepes

Does Wii Fit Work? 2008-06-21 23:22:00 Hi again. Juliet asked me to come back and post again about Wii
Fit, as my last Wii Fit article received lot of positive attention. I guess people are wondering if Wii fit is worth the big investment and the time and challenge it would take to track it down (see my comment here about some advice on finding Wii Fit). So, the question of the day is, does Wii Fit work? Well, the answer is yes, of co
Frozen Cherries are Amazing! 2008-06-20 23:38:00 So, I'm sure you already knew that fruit was good for your diet! That is like dieting 101. But, did you know that freezing certain fruits makes them ten times better?I decided to feature cherries here, since I actually like frozen cherries better than fresh ones. Why? They come un-pitted! I find pits really take away from my eating experience. Just to be clear, though, I also love frozen mango (1 Read more:Frozen

Low Calorie Indian Dinner With Naan! 2008-06-19 23:04:00 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. I usually buy my frozen food at Whole Foods (like the Amy's meal I blogged about previously), so they are generally less processed than the ones at the regular supermarket.So, today I'm blogging about one o Read more:Dinner

Potato Pancakes go well with Sour Cream 2008-06-18 22:14:00 I don't have words to describe how much I enjoy eating these Golden brand PotatoPancakes
. They are unbelievable amazing and are only 1-2 WW points (70 calories each, right on the edge between 1 and 2 points). After you heat them up (I've heated them both in the microwave and in a pan with PAM), you can put some fat free sour cream on them (which I just blogged about).

Sour Cream (0-1 points) Makes Everything Taste Better 2008-06-18 21:08:00 So, one of my long-time diet friends has been fat free sour cream. I love the stuff! I have created onion dip with it (and dipped carrots in it), I've put it in soup, I've put it on pasta, I've put it on all sorts of crazy things (that might make you go ewwww). The awesome part, is that fat free sour cream adds flavor and thickness to any meal. It makes meals more filling, and you can usually add Read more:Cream

My Favorite Mac and Cheese 2008-06-17 21:22:00 Amy makes some great microwave meals -- very convenient for people like me that aren't cooks, but want to eat healthy, yummy, food. This one in particular, "Amy's Macaroni and Soy Cheese
" is one of my favorites and also happens to be what I ate for dinner tonight. For only 8 Weight Watchers points, you get a very large portion of noodles and creamy cheese, that is amazingly filling. Even better - Read more:Favorite
Nanna's Banana Puffet 2008-06-16 21:19:00 "Peas of Mind" makes these super yummy puffets that you can eat for snack or for dessert. My favorite is the banana puffet (featured to your left), which is more "desserty", but the company makes other types as well that could substitute as a side for one of your meals (like the "Eat Your Greens Puffet" or "Carrot Risotto Puffet"). The banana puffet is only 2 points, with 2 points of fiber. Yes,
Hummus and Pita: A Tasty Lunch or Snack 2008-06-15 22:16:00 I eat hummus and pita for lunch all the time on the weekend. My favorite thing to do is to toast the pita so that it gets crunchy. Then I open it up and spread the hummus inside of the pocket. It keeps lunch from being messy, and it warms the hummus which I think is so wonderful! Sometimes I sneak some low fat cheese in there too, to make it more like a sandwich.I have two favorite Pitas. Both are Read more:Hummus

I Love Vans Frozen Waffles 2008-06-13 15:00:00 I don't usually eat waffles for breakfast during the week, since I like to stick with 2 point breakfasts that allow me to eat more during the busy day. But, I *always* eat them on the weekend. I absolutely love Vans frozen waffles, the Belgian 7 grain shown in the picture are my favorite kind, but Vans makes many varieties of waffles, from multi- grain, to organic, to blueberry, to flax.

Chips are Your Diet Friend 2008-06-12 23:54:00 Hi there! Today was a great diet day for me. I had a small breakfast (2 WW points), a sandwich with just vegetables and cheese for lunch (5 WW points), a bag of baked chips (2 WW points), and an Indian vegetable dish and pita bread for dinner (7 WW points). I had eaten so little, that I was able to sneak in some ice cream and 1 point yogurt for dessert. Yum! I was also good and went to the gym and Read more:Chips
Whipped Cream that is Safe for Your Diet 2008-06-11 21:39:00 Dieting went okay for me today. I went out to lunch with a friend, so once again, I have no idea how many WW points I had. I roughly calculated around 8-10 points so I am using that to figure out what to have for dinner. I have a major sweet tooth thing going on today, so I thought this would be as good of a day as any to talk about sweets!So, I absolutely love whipped cream. It can go on almost a Read more:Cream
Yummy High Fiber Tortillas, for Pizza and more... 2008-07-17 02:01:00 I've been eating La Tortilla Factory high fiber tortillas for a long time. They are a great bread substitution, and also work well for making quesadillas (with fat free cheese, salsa, fat-free sour cream -- super yum!), burritos, soft tacos, egg sandwiches, PIZZA, and more. What is particularly special about these tortillas is how low in calorie they are vs. their surprisingly high calorie white-f Read more:Yummy

Delicious, Calorie Free, Flavored Water 2008-07-15 02:01:00 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. There are tons of great water-alternative options available at the supermarket, but some of them are definitely better for you than others (and you want to make sure you are drinking a water-alternative that is as close to water as possible). I have a few personal favorites (none Read more:Delicious
Julie's Organic Ice Cream Sandwiches 2008-07-14 02:01:00 I recently picked up a box of Julie
's "Juliette" Ice CreamSandwiches
at Whole Foods. I've seen other ice cream sandwiches for sale at the supermarket, but they tend to either be incredibly high in calorie, or full of artificial sweeteners and other schtuff, so I had yet to find one that I felt like trying.But, Julie's ice cream sandwiches are different, and different in many good ways!

My Favorite Fresh Salsa 2008-07-11 02:01:00 I love salsa! Not only is it low calorie and good for you, it is also great with baked chips (super yum!), on quesadillas, soft tacos, eggs, etc. There are really countless ways to incorporate salsa into your meals and snacks.So, you might ask, why exactly is salsa good for you? Well not only is it naturally low in calories, cholesterol, and fat, it contains a number of healthy vitamins and minera Read more:Favorite
