This weekend I made oat groats (oatmeal before it's rolled) in my rice cooker and I'm hooked. Oak groats with a sliced banana and some blueberries.View Thread

That's not to say one should eat in an unhealthy manner so long as they keep their caloric intake low.View Thread



All that said there is more than 8 hours between my lunch and dinner. While I don't desire a snack in between I thought it might be a good idea to eat one to ensure my body does not go into "starvation mode." Just how much would I have to consume for my body to recognize that I have eaten? Would a shot-glass full of peanuts be sufficient? Thanks.View Thread


My morning breakfast is typically centered around oatmeal or shredded wheat (with no sugar or salt added) and 1% cow milk. Recently I started eating puffed rice (also with zero sugar/salt) and am planning to try puffed millet as well. I don't notice any difference now that I am eating the puffed rice except perhaps that it does not keep me as full as the oatmeal or shredded wheat. On the other hand, it also has far fewer calories per cup.
Is the oatmeal, shredded wheat, puffed rice and puffed millet good choices for a breakfast cereal? Is the idea of a "wheat belly" just a bunch of hoopla? How about the 1% milk? Any insight would be appreciated.View Thread



I need to concoct a low calorie "breakfast salad" that I can eat each morning with my regular breakfast. I'm thinking something along the lines of chopped Romaine lettuce, tomatoes and pineapple, along with a dressing made from tart cherry juice. Something along those lines.
I thought a little bit about Halloween. I was going to leave a big bowl of candy on the porch but with my luck I'll get two trick-or-treaters. I'm just going to turn off the lights this year.View Thread
