What is diet: Definition and 40 Discussions

At the beginning of the new year husband and I started trying to follow the Paleo diet. We can have veggies, fruit, meats, fish, nuts (except peanuts), etc, avoiding rice, potatoes, pasta, anything processed, and sugars. However I am running out of ideas of what to make. We are both getting...

Hi all, I have a friend of a friend that just posted this on facebook. Zack is starting his low iodine diet tomorrow. So many restrictions no dairy, no seafood, no processed food. God I wish I was a better cook! This child is in remission and that's about all I know. She posted a week ago...

Pampered Chef Founder Goes on House Diet - Chicago magazine - May 2011 - Chicago Looks like a nice place. I'm not too keen on the author's implied tone about "downsizing". Doris has worked hard to get where she is, and this is the kind of house she wants to live in, she has certainly...

One of the food-blogs I like to occasionally peruse is "Picky Palate". This woman creates some very unusual and delicious recipes....mostly the kind that would get me kicked out of Weight Watchers though! ;)I often take the snacks for our Cub Scout dens, and these two recipes will knock some...

I have a friend who recently had a heart attack and has been in and out of the hospital 3 times in the last 2 weeks. They have put her on a strict diet...low sodium/low sugar. She loves to cook. She was complaining today about not knowing what to cook/eat..."I can't eat anything that tastes...

A fellow was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a newly discovered diet. "I want you to eat regular meals for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 more weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least 5 pounds." When the man returned, he shocked...

Today is week 3 of my diet. It's also weigh in day. I'm not hoping for leaps and bounds, but a baby step would be nice. But, when I stepped on the scale this morning, I didn't lose a single pound. I guess I should be glad I didn't gain, right? Well, I re-weighed about an hour later just to...

I am very intrigued about the Mediterranean Diet and I am wondering if anyone is following it.

A friend of mine called asking for recipies to make for her host this weekend. He: * Can't eat red pepper or anything spicy. Even salad dressings are off limits. * Can't eat deserts. * Can't eat salads because the dressing is off limits ... but tomatoes are OK. * Can't eat most cheeses...

I'm just wondering if any of you have had any luck with Slimquick or any of the other diet pills that are one the market. Slimquick just happens to be the one that appears to have the most natural ingredients. I'm scared to death to take any of these pills, but am not losing any weight on my...

Okay, my doctor put me on a diet, and I am having trouble sticking to it because I can't find any new ways to prepare my vegetables so that they stay fat-free. I am limited to 35 grams of fat per day! That's it! Trust me, when you read nutrition labels you realized 35 g/day is NOT a lot!! I was...

Weight Loss Story I have 2 cats, and was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was in line to check out. The woman behind me asked if I had a cat? Duh? On impulse, I told her no, I was starting The Purina Diet again. Although I probably shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the...

Hi Gang - As you know I am applying to a couple of weight loss centers for jobs. I have not tried all these programs. One is pretty new I am kind of leaning a little more toward Medifast but my only actual interview appt so far is with Jenny Craig - I already passed the phone interview...

I read somewhere on here that some people have done this diet? I was wondering if you can substitute some of the 35grams of fiber via supplements rather than eating all veggies or fruits? I bought some fiber tabs and it seems to help me fill full! A little gasier than usual but what do ya...
