    A question for Vegetarians.....

    I know this is VERY late to the discussion, but I know many a vegetarians/vegans who can still be unhealthy. If she stick to a 'whole' food plant based lifestyle then she will be right as rain. We need starches to keep us satiated. Without them we will never feel full. I live on rice, potatoes...

    Thinking of going vegetarian

    You can also use Nutritional Yeast. I use it on so many different things. And most folks who go vegan don't even have to worry about B12 for 3 years after doing so. By then you should have enough information to know what to do in your eating lifestyle.

    Thinking of going vegetarian

    So many people get freaked out about not getting enough protein. Does anyone know of anyone that has Kwashiorkor? I am going to say that I highly doubt it. That is what you get when you have a diet low in protein. And in order to get that disease, you would have to be malnourished. So I tell...

    Outrageous Restaurant Portions ...WhoWhereWhy?

    You are correct Bucky. I would have to say that most folks who eat out are not looking for the good home-cooked style food. At least not like thier granny use to make. And if they think just because Cracker Barrel says home cooked food, they are sadly mistaken. They want what is fast and...

    Jamie Oliver's food revolution

    I think the show is a bit over dramatic, but then all relaity shows are (I still do not see how they are reality shows. No one follows me around in my life). I think he has the right idea, but he is fighting a serious battle and the big businesses who are making the big money off selling that...

    Outrageous Restaurant Portions ...WhoWhereWhy?

    We here, in our home, if ever, eat out and for many reasons. 99% of what is in restaurants is processed foods, not trying to find something healthy is near impossible. Plus I know what is going on in my kitchen and going into my food. On the rare chance I do eat out, I split the meal with...

    Cole Slaw..Using Sugar Substitute?

    Try using agave in place of artificial sweetners, those things are in a bad way. And agave is do-able for diabetics as well. When my husband/we switched from white table sugar and moved over to agave, all his stomach problems went away. Who knew it was that easy.

    The GM Diet

    I saw that someone recently no longer says diet, they now say live-it. Makes sense to me. And I totally agree with the fact that any food program that limits what we all know to be common sense rules in the food world cannot be all that great.

    Vegetarian diet?

    I am a vegetarian and have been coming up on 2 years in September 2010. I am on my way to being vegan and seriously considering going raw. But I am unsure just how raw I want to go. I have never felt better. -I don't measure my food (for eating that is) -I don't count calories -I don't...

    Why did they bring Robert Irvine back to Dinner Impossible?

    I'm wondering also if enough viewers wrote in wanting him back and they felt they should honor their viewing public's wishes?

    Who's Trying to Lose Weight?

    I no longer feel the need to 'lose' weight. What I try to do now is just eat healthy. Does that mean I have totally given up on the foods I love? No way Jose. The big things that I think have helped our family do better is to no longer eat out. And I mean not eat out at all. And we have let go...

    Sandra Lee's New FoodNetwork Show

    I used to watch her religiously, but then it hit me, she uses tons of processed foods. And that is something that we are eliminating from our diet (and not doing so bad, I might add). I know her plan of action may work for the SAD (Standard American Diet), but not in this household. But we do...

    Gordon Ramsay (Merged)

    And because of his excessive use of 'colorful' language, is thee exact reason I refuse to watch him. I mean come on, how many times in a 3 minute period does someone need to say the 'F' word. It's a cooking show, not a swearing show.

    Not liking veggies?

    I'm a vegetarian so you're barking up the wrong tree, but try juicing. You can add fruit to them and Viola, your veggies taste sweet.
