When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my doctor sent me to a diabetes class held at the hospital.  Among other things, they taught us about checking our blood sugar levels along with what and when to eat. This book was offered for sale through that class. As all diabetics know, it is an ongoing challenge to figure out what we can and cannot eat. If you eat out very often, the problem is...

Even though the recipes are meant for Phase 2 you could definitely use them on any phase of the diet because even with the higher o...

  Weight Watchers sells a bag with 12 individual portions of this creamy, mild cheddar cheese.  For those on the Weight Watchers plan, the pieces are one point value per piece.  For others watching their calories, the serving size is two pieces, with 90 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving.The cheese is very rich and creamy. I TRULY wouldn't guess it was reduced fat, if I ...

Every diet seems to come and go as a fad.  You try it for a while, it either is obnoxious and you are cheating or you stick to it closely and if it works it is only for a couple of pounds.  I found a few years ago that Atkins works well for us.  The basic idea of Atkins is limiting your intake of carbohydrates.  There are a whole bunch of books written about Atkins and about...

About five years ago, I did the first several phases of the South Beach diet.  I did it mostly to jump start myself into eating more healthy as I was eating way too many sweets and had entirely too much sugar in my diet.  Weening myself off of sugar was a killer but I knew I had to do it and in the process I lost about 25 pounds over a couple months.  Since that time, I have just...

This plan has helped me control my weight since 2004.   A change to western eating habits and the lowered metabolism which comes with the passage of time had caused my weight to inch up over a period of years.  I had tried some other diets but they usually lacked the positive reinforcement of fairly quick initial results.  The Fat Flush Plan was different.The Fat Flush Plan is a ...

Isopure protein powder is for people that like their protein shakes to taste good and mix easily without a blender and without any chunks. Isopure is a fine powder that mixes effortlessly in milk or water and tastes better than most other proteins on the market.
