Today Hungry Girl posted a question on her Facebook Page: Anyone out there try Chocolate Cheerios? Whatd’ya think of ‘em? http://www.facebook.com/HungryGirl?v=feed&story_fbid=266498302257 No surprise, of course, her loyal followers were gushing all over them! One naive woman even compared them to cocoa puffs, thinking they were healthier. Are people really that stupid, or is it just [...]

Whole Foods & High Fructose Corn Syrup
I was shocked to find Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce at Whole Foods store the other day! Did you know that Lea & Perrins contains high fructose corn syrup!? Yuck! What’s THAT doing at Whole Foods!? It’s really such a shame. I suppose one could argue that you are using such a small amount, that [...]
Christmas 2009 Woes and Joys
Yeah, I didn’t do such a wonderful job on my food choices during the holiday, but it’s okay. I am back on track today (Saturday, Dec 26) and will continue to stay on track! It was a bit scary, because I got a wake up call. It’s so easy for me to revert back to [...]
What’s High Fructose Corn Syrup Doing In Cottage Cheese?
They didn’t have the Breakstone 2% cottage cheese I usually buy at the grocery today. I noticed a 2% pineapple flavor, but when I took a look at the list of ingredients, there it was: High Fructose Corn Syrup!!! Why? Why couldn’t they just add pineapple and be done with it!? Makes me mad! It [...]
Hungry Girl – Fat Free Cool Whip vs Fat Free ReddiWip
Over on the Hungry Girl Facebook Page, Lisa Lillien recently posed a question to her fans: Cool Whip Free vs. Fat Free Reddi-wip. A fair fight dessert topping brawl with a clear winner… Thoughts???? The answers weren’t surprising, but they made me sad nevertheless. Let’s compare the ingredients: Reddi Whip Fat Free: Nonfat Milk, Cream, [...]
Halloween – And Not One Bit of Candy!
Good for me! We went over to Mike’s sister’s place last night to be with the kids for Halloween. We also brought along the dogs, which was really fun! Anyway, I am happy to report that I didn’t have one bit of Halloween candy last night! Wasn’t even tempted. I think it’s like when I [...]
Hunger Isn’t As Big of an Issue Anymore
Back a few months ago, I couldn’t get though a night of TV without chomping on snacks, sometimes all night long. But now, I sometimes have to force myself to eat an evening snack, just so I can eat all my calories (it’s important to eat all your allotted calories for the day) Does that [...]
Junk Junk Nothing But Junk
My husband went to a vending show the other day, and came home with a huge bag of snacks. The only good thing about this was the bag itself. It was a large mesh bag that could be used for grocery shopping! LOL In the old days, I would have been thrilled! I would have [...]
Today Was a Good Day
I drove my bike to the library, about a mile away. It was a flat easy ride, and I tried to pedal most of the way. I got a menu from a new Asian restaurant, so I figured we would treat ourselves. It was fabulous. I got Japanese hibachi chicken with veggies and brown rice, [...]
Sugar The Bitter Truth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM Very interesting video. 90 minutes long, and really boring and scientific in a lot of parts, but stick it out and toward the end, he brings it all together summing it up! I am not going to give up sugar all together by any means, but it did give me an incentive to cut [...]
