Van’s recently upgraded their packaging, and wanted to let everyone know that it is still the same, reliable gluten free food.  Check out their website! I had not tried their waffles before, so I decided to give them a shot: I was actually impressed.  Honestly, I don’t think anyone could tell that they are gluten free… especially after putting syrup on them.

I love Chinese food and being able to eat it anywhere is one of the things I miss the most, especially the buffets!  PF Chang’s has become a favorite of mine because of their gluten free menu and because the quality of food is very good. I have only had good experiences there, and they have not broken my trust that they take all of the precautions and are 100% gluten free. “P.F.

Being all-natural, it is gluten free. I have always been very skeptical of any “fat burner” in the past, so I had very low expectations for this.  I can drink all the caffeene in the world as a bed-time snack and sleep like a baby.  So, I couldn’t imagine anything having an affect on me. The first day, I figured out quickly, that I had to moderate my dosage!  The first day, I took two pills about 7 hours before...

199.5 down to 197.5… 3 weeks to go. Well… Not a lot to say this week.  The video pretty much sums it up: Do normal things and you get normal results.  Time to stop being normal!

Do diets always consist of boring and bland food?  NO! There is no way I could stick with a diet if I couldn’t still eat foods that taste good and eat a variety of foods.  Especially in the beginning, I have stuck to 45% protein, 35% carbs, and 20% fats in each meal.  My daily total of calories started at 2300 and has slowly dropped to around 1800-1900 calories per day. I do eat a lot of boring and bland foods, because they are quick and easy to make, but I usually have one “good” meal each day which takes a little more time and preparation.  Below, is a photo gallery of some...
