Fish cakes

I think a lot of us are trying to find a way between haute cuisine and what I call dump and heat food. I think Jamie Oliver does a pretty good job of finding the middle ground, although I have to wonder what he was thinking with this week's recipe: salmon cakes. That middle ground used to be the no...

What is a good pedometer goal?

I had publicly declared that I would do 20K per day. :oops: Erm...that won't be happening - at least not during the fall/winter. 10K seems a little on the low side. Has anyone found a good goal that has helped them with no s?
Thanks!

I'm in the Mediterranean as I write (Madrid, Viva España! -- and Alemagna, too), but with due respect to the somewhat portly Dr. Weil, I am reinforced in my view that what matters in terms of weight control is not stuff, but structure: EAT MEALS, like people do in España, and everywhere else wher...

I guess this is just a low-tech way of doing the HabitCal. I have started doing this (day 4 completed - yeah me!) and find it to be ridiculously satisfying to draw a big X through each day.

Hungry between lunch and dinner...?

I had tried having V8 juice between meals and sometimes that works but I wondered what others do? Just ignore it? Does in between hunger usually dissapate after a little while on the program? I also find that I get pretty sleepy between lunch and dinner which is tricky if I need to drive!

Salt

Tomato juice is usually a pretty good choice but you have to check the labels ... some brands have a lot of salt/sodium included so they may be a WOLF in SHEEP'S CLOTHING ... ;-) I don't know about V8's salt/sodium content at the moment though. The very best thing is usually to have the plain fruit...

V8 Juice - love this stuff!

I had tried NOS before and always struggled with in between meals hunger. I am on day 3 now and find that about 8 ounces half-way between meals really is satisfying.

is to have no red days and to walk one hour every day. I started on Tuesday (the first) and this morning my MIL asked if I was losing weight. I know that I can't be down more than a pound or two but it made my day!
I plan on weighing on Aug. 1.
Good Luck to all you fellow nosers!
