HB, I don't know if this would work for you, but I take 2000 mg of Flax Oil per day (1000 in the AM & 1000 in PM). Since I really dislike yogurt, I also take Probio-Wellness digestive enzymes AM & PM to get those "healthy bacteria" in me, and since I don't eat anything that comes out of the water I take Omega-3 purified fish oil ( researched and found some that does not repeat on you). My cholesterol was higher than the MD wanted (216) so that's why I began this regimen. You can also buy flax seeds and put it on your cereal, but to me it feels gritty doh

HB, You have to grind the flax seeds or your body can't digest them. I think they taste like banana nut bread and love them on my cereal. I grind them in a food mill and add them to cakes, cookies, muffins, rice, etc.

Thanks for all the great info.

I will look into the Flax seed. Not to sure if I will grind it though - I need to chew to feel full. Liquid diets never worked for me for that reason.

We take fish oil every day because the ophthalmologist said it is good for your body. Since I haven't met a food I haven't liked I eat yogurt nearly every day.

I can't believe how fast you both responded - appreciate it.

HB, as I recall, you're the one who told me that calories consumed at the kitchen counter while standing up don't count. I'm beginning to suspect that some of your information isn't entirely accurate or I'd be a size smaller than I am. :dontknow:

My rule is that chocolate consumed from the freezer at 3 am when you can't sleep is used as a sedative and is therefore calorie free.

I spent the evening with dear friends and enjoyed the most delicious food and conversation. It's hard saying goodbye for now but I'm already looking forward to saying hello again in 4 months.

Bare, I am coming to you for enlightenment and wisdom. You teach the most wonderful life lessons. I've been consuming my chocolate from the freezer around 10PM. Who knew????

[chelsea24]

Spent a wonderful evening with great, dear friends. Then had a really refreshing drive home in the golf cart in a wet bathing suit. I've decided it felt so good, I'm going to drive around more in wet clothing! I love it.

Bare, the ice cream sedative at 3am is the best. :bigthumbsup: And you'll get to sleep faster when you add chocolate sauce. yummmmm.

[Rokinronda]

I indulged in CHOCOLATE cake at 9 ish, if I had known about the 3 AM rule I would have waited!!!What a perfect night!! Wonderful friends, great conversation, perfect weather, a moonlit sky, delicious dinner and CHOCOLATE CAKE!! Bright in 4 months we shall celebrate your return visit and next year a huge homecoming party!!! Chels, driving in a golf cart on a balmy summer night in a wet bathing suit is like dancing in the rain!! Sam, 3 AM chocolate , sounds like a good diet plan!! HB, Bare, many others, someday we are all going to be together and PARTY PARTY PARTY!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My HOME!

I thought when you eat chocolate, no matter what time of day or night, it was heart medicine, that is the really dark chocolate. Am I wrong?

HB, it is correct that dark chocolate is heart medicine. It also helps with mood swings (so evey woman needs it)! However dark chocolate does contain calories unless eaten at 3 AM. Not sure why, just one of life's little unexplained mysteries. I think it is the same principle as .. "If no-one sees you eat it, it has no calories".

People often remark that I always eat salads and I'm very self disciplined. hahaha 1rnfl If they only knew that a quart of chocolate ice cream lasts me about 10 minutes. But I consume it sitting in the dark in the garage, therefore it is calorie free.

You're welcome.

[chelsea24]

Hahahahha Bare! 1rnfl You are the most wonderful nutbar! I love all of your "good" eating habits and tips. ;D

[Blondie]

This morning I bought 2 bags of Hersheys chocolate licorace mm mm good 040...but 2 of my most favorite "meals" are movie popcorn and Lays thick cut sea salt potato chips....the sea salt makes it healthy......think I'll go to the store now...I need salt.

Let me see if I understand all of this diet info correctly so I can lose weight like Nonie is.
1. Daily exercise regimen:
A. Walking to refrigerator/freezer at 3 am each day. Before I can do that I need to do the following exercises.
B. First I must go from the house to the car.
C. Then I need to park the car and walk to the store.
D. In the store I need to continue my walking exercise to purchase necessary weight loss items.
E. From there I walk to the check out counter.
F. To increase loss of calories I will now walk to the car and drive home.
G. Followed by even more exercise - take out diet chocolate (because it is eaten at 3 am) items, bring them to the freezer.
H. (I hope I have enough energy to wake up at 3 am to eat my diet foods, will set alarm clock [more calories burned off] then collapse from all this exercise.

Foods eaten standing - no calories
Foods eaten when no one in looking - no calories
Crumbs - have no calories
Ends of pieces when eaten standing - no calories
Sundaes, Banana Splits, Malted, Shakes and ice cream when you place a grape tomato on them are no longer considered desserts but a salad. Everyone knows salads are low in calories.
Cheese cake needs to be eaten daily to fulfill calcium requirements.
Cakes, Pies, scones and similar items when a sliver of fruit (your choice) is placed on the top is then considered fulfilling your daily requirement of fruit.
Breads and rolls are considered extremely important to your daily health only if you sprinkle Flax Seed on them - daily fiber requirements.
I think Bare also mentioned that if you eat something in the dark or in a closet or a garage those foods absolutely have no calories - you are standing.

Foods that contain calories - all foods eaten when sitting down EXCEPT for foods eaten with others while talking and laughing.

I hope I now have my new diet plan correct. :yikes: OMG it is 4:42 am in NY, I missed my 3 am chocolate for my heart.

From Bare,
