Guest guest Report post Posted August 18, 2000 Twinkies contain beef tallow. Although the health food store does sell a veggie version of them that I find much tastier than the real ones (and I used to be a big fan of twinkies). Whole Foods used to have an online quiz (I can't find it now) that gave an incredible amount of insight into what we were putting into our bodies. I always joke that it's o.k. to eat the whole bag of chips/cookies/yummies, they came from the health food store! We have a friend who comments on how healthy her family's diet is all the time, yet the only veggies she serves is as a snack alongside a big bowl of spicy ranch dip . And the " healthy granola cereal " is mainstream and the list of ingredients starts off with 3 different types of corn syrup and sugars and adds more in between the proccessed grains. And the youghurt is basically sugar, geletain and milk along with some artificial flavourings to make it edible by today's children. Even though I am still not very good at it, I have discovered the importance of label reading. While pregnant, I was dealing with GB and had to cut out all sugars and sweeteners. I had quite a search to deal with to find bread. Even the health food store carried honey sweetened bread. We don't always eat as healthy as we should but we have become very aware of what we eat. Even young children can easily learn to identify ill effects after eating something not good for them (headaches, belly aches, behavioural problems) and make the connection. In our world of alergies, I feel this is an important thing. And it is important to get your children involved with the whole proccess. If they help decide what is going to be for dinner, help pick it out at the store (I think my son is even pickier than I am now about getting the most perfect piece of fruit or veggie on display) and helping in the making of the meal, they are MUCH more inclined to eat it. When we make pizza at home (wow! once I found out how easy that was!) everyone gets to pick out what veggie they are going to put on theirs. It can be any veggie they want. Often, it ends up being either broccoli, spinich or asparagus. You know, those things that kids won't eat. You can introduce quite a few healthy things into your diet when you give everyone choices. And always go for the freshest, least proccessed version you can find. You can easily change your favourite recipes to contain more healthy ingredients. Anytime you make something with flour, use organic flour or throw in some wheat flour if you are used to white. Your palletes get quickly used to the health food and you find that when you splurge on " junk food " it just doesn't hold the same temptation as before. Well, I seem to have gone all over the place with this post so I will end it now.

Are these just egg whites or whole eggs? It's supposed to be just egg whites since the yolks are nasty with fat and cholesterol. Is that a whole wheat bagel???? You need more vegatables too, at least 2 portions a day. I would also recommend taking an essential fatty acid supplement like flax seed oil. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 5, 2000 I know that everyone tweaks the diet as to their own taste. I am trying to do the best I can, and still enjoy what I eat. I have a few rules that I try to stick to. I try not to eat bread, pasta, or sugars. That is to say stuff like candy and cakes. I will eat a pitta pocket if I need to eat a sandwich. I do not use mayo or butter with anything, and that I have done since I started. I eat whole wheat past only and I have stuck to that one too. I do eat my veggies more than I ever did before, and I am beginning to like them, all of them, yes Mom, even broccoli and asparagus and cauliflower. I eat lean beef and chicken. I drink 3 shakes a day, take a multi vitamin 2 times a day, BetaGen 2 times a day, PhenFree 2 times a day, and CytoVol at night. I drink a great deal of water every day, and I take a 100% protein shake at night too. I have no idea if that helps at all.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 6, 2000 -No they do not equal ea other. Evening Primrose oil is an excellant herp for women to decrease breast pain/tenderness. Usually given to peri and post menopausal women. Flax seed oil is an EFA, which in turns decreases bad fatty acids in the blood vessels, and aids in fat lose and increases cell repair. I'm sure you can research this more to get a clearing understanding of how they work in the body and why they are taken.
