wish they'd dot he prize announcments and stuffers 'sigh' not that star's gonna win anything but hey can always dream right..

Yup, dream till ya win ^.^

Why? There are such silly and cute things at the store to look at.

I just got back from grocery shopping. We only go every 3 or 4 weeks to really go shopping. If we need something like milk or bread we will run & get it close by. I about cried when I saw the total. We were out of so much stuff.

Wow... I can live off a really small amount of money per month so I don't typically feel shocked by prices...

Prices are sky rocketing on stuff its so.. depressing..

That's why you gotta keep shopping smart, so you can get more for less ^^

Poet breaks out the calculator when shopping

i do shop smart i just don't get a lot. first i have to do the house hold items. toilet tissue, paper towels, laundry soap, dryer sheets, cat litter cat food, cleaning supplys tha thave run low or run out, THEN i have to keep twenty back so i can do laundry.. it is not cheap.. then i do the grocery shopping.. i have to split the money in half as i eat seperate foods form what my room mate eats.. cause i have a lot of stuff im banned from..

Hrm... banned? How so?

Do you have dollar stores there? The products may be of lower quality, like cheaply made toilet paper and paper towels and stuff, but it works just as well.

i think star means she cannot eat them.
prices have gotten crazy.

yep a whole food group.. do you know how HARD that makes on keepign up other vitamans another doctor has me working on?

Honestly... I dunno if your doctor is being very smart... no offense... but taking out a whole entire food group can be very risky...

Especially since it's the grains that are fortified with the vitamins and minerals we lack in our day.
That would force you into taking a bunch of vitamin pills just to be healthy

well i already gotta take the vitamin's .. and im not EXACTLY fallowing his orders I've jsut cut back in how much i eat..

haha... yeah... one thing I learned from my nutrition teachers is that doctors don't typically know much about "eating healthy"...
It's eating in moderation or eating below the amount of calories you burn to lose weight.

Little bit of research gave me a little bit of information about grains. There's a certain kind you'd want to eat that's actually very healthy. Bit of a read, but I find it very informative if you are to eat grains:

Whole-grains, like whole wheat, contain the entire grain kernel, which has three distinct parts - the bran (outer skin), the germ (the inner part that sprouts into a new plant), and the endosperm (the germ’s food supply). Refined grains, on the other hand (like white flour), have been processed, which removes both the bran and the germ. This processing gives grains a finer texture, and prolongs the shelf life, but it also removes the fiber, many nutrients, and makes it more compact.

Eating more whole-grains, including whole wheat, has been linked to lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and even obesity. This is probably because the bran and germ result in a slower rate of digestion, so instead of a lot of carbohydrate rushing into the bloodstream all at once, the cells receive a steadier supply of fuel over a longer period of time. That kind of time-released delivery better regulates blood sugar and insulin levels, and means the carbohydrate is more likely to get burned off, rather than getting socked away in fat cells.

The fiber in whole-grain wheat also impacts how your body reacts. Fiber is filling, so you may feel fuller more quickly and therefore eat less. In addition, research has shown that for every gram of fiber we eat, we eliminate about seven calories. And a study in Brazilian dieters found that over a 6-month period, each additional gram of fiber resulted in an extra quarter pound of weight loss.

so basically.. eat wheat lol.. can do.. i like honey wheat bread over white anywyas.. now i know why i dind't ahve to eat as much..

Yeah, it's the REAL wheat that you want to get. So you'll want to do some research on the healthier breads in your area before shopping for bread :3

I know I sometimes grind my own wheat and it's very healthy that way.

Hey yeah Falcon

How are you?

Haha yeah it's not really worth it unless you already have a ton of wheat.

Getting whole grain bread is good though I believe. I think that's the one that has all 3 parts not sure.
