Does anyone have any budgeting tips? We mostly eat meats, veggies, fruit, dairy products. My husband eats rice and pasta, I do not. We purchase very little processed foods. My husband uses chips, juice, and cookies but they last him a few weeks (he doesn't overeat). I try to use coupons when I can b...

Loading up your plate? Realization!
I was reading through some older post and I noticed a lot of people talking about loading up their one plate. I wondered why would they do that? I was thinking the idea was to just eat a normal amount and then it hit me! I don't have a problem with getting seconds so this idea of loading up the plat...

What is the best brand of coffee?
I have a secret dream of being a coffee connoisseur. You know the kind of person who can pick up all the distinct flavors and tones of various brands of coffee. I am very far from this dream because right now all I drink is Folgers I do want to try some others though. Any suggestions?

I think we guess that it is water weight. I don't think we actually have any scientific tools at home that can accurately measure fat vs. water.

Pregnancy Weight Gain
Is it really necessary for a fat woman to gain while pregnant? I have already gained about 20lbs and I was 40lbs overweight to begin with. Sometimes that scares me when the doc says the baby only weighs 6oz right now. Yikes! But I don't obsess because I know skinny women who gain like 50 or 60 lbs a...

Where did the idea of snacking come from anyway? How did this come to be seen as part of a healthy lifestyle?
