Quaker multi-grain hot cereal rocks. I don't by the little packets though. I buy the big cannister and mix 1/3 a cup cereal w/ 1/3 cup skim milk, 1/3 cup water, and fruit like peaches, blueberries, raspberries....mmmmm! And no need for sugar!

I made it to 67 and will, hopefully, achieve higher ages eating the nine foods mentioned, along with a selection of other vitals supplemented with a number of vitamin pills. The problem is cutting down on the portions or using smaller plates.

All is good, HG, except you may want to consider the sodium levels in the hot sauces [which I used to put on just next to everything!!]. Now I use lotsa cayenne pepper and other dry spices and only occasionally use the Lousiana Hot Sauce or Tabasco.

Cut out eating beef or anything made with beef such as milk, butter, cheese you will see wonders in loosing weight. You can eat beef but in moderation, once a month or every two weeks. Milk and cheese go SKIM MILK and butter replace with margarine. I was a size 18 and over a period of one year went down to a size ZERO and still holding. I am eating five-six times a day (healthy foods) and do not gain. What's the secret CUT THE BEEF!! Plain and simple, try it......

Try Power Oatmeal super food in the morning. Quaker oats or Compliments essential Quick Oats in large bag (1/2 cup), 1 scoop muscle milk protein powder (vanilla strawberry), tablespoon flaxseed ground up, any type of berries you have, or apple slices.

The second they said 'drink 8 glasses of water a day' I knew it was bull. That myth has been busted already, 8 glasses of water is not only wrong but can do you harm. Check around and see.

your body does need a good amount of water daily, remember
your'e made of approx. 98% water and without it you can actually
cause your cells to break down over time, they won't function like
they should, do it for your overall health despite the dieting efforts.
read the books on the essentials of water.

I really think that the authors of this article need to double check their information. The process that sugar goes through to become Splenda causes 2% of this product to be comprised of heavy metals, ARSENIC! and other dangerous and unnatural biproducts. This is clearly not good for your body. All natural sugar is burned much faster by your body, and is not stored as fat if eaten in moderation.

excellent informative information i'll be using a few hints from what i've read so far after having my daughter i need to get back into shape and lose the spare tires.

some decent info, but please get a clue on natureal health.
SOY and LIGHT DAIRY and SPICY FOODS and the CREME part of the green tea drink SHOULD NOT be universally recommended without any warning or limits recommended as well. Soy gives estrogen to the body....not sure men needs much of it!

"8 glasses of water a day" LOL, Is this writer getting her info from 1985? How many ounces is each of those 8 glasses? Shouldn't a 100 pound person drink less water than a 200 pound person?
This universal health/weight loss advice writer really needs a professional to curb her misinformation.

Great list. And as for [profane]e Yogurt, short of making your own, which is pretty darn easy, its a great low-suger yogurt. And it's great as a replacement for sour cream.

I hate these stories because several of the key points were listed as food myths in other stories; for example 8 glasses of water and grapefruits helping to lose weight.
This is a garbage article.

If you have problems, such as indigestion and bloating, with milk and dairy products of any kind as I do, try using soy milk instead. I feel much better and have been able to lose some weight finally.

These are some great suggestions to look into, most of which I am doing and all of which I totally agree with. As far as the water goes. They may have said that you don't need quite as much as originally thought, but you definitely need to still drink a lot of water. (Alot being relative to each person since some think 8 glasses is a drop in the bucket while others force themselves to drink 2) As far as splenda or stevia, I stay far away from any sugar substitutes myself but that is for each to decide, hopefully after researching them. That is my own opinion. Everyone has to decide for themselves.
Have a great day! Joan

Always misleading (or at least most of them are). The water thing is true - what's not explained is that the "water" comes from food and other beverages counts towards the total.

Hey everyone!! Just wanted to pass along something: Yes the Flinestone vitamins are GREAT!! But, they were a little hard for my daughter, who is 2, so try Nemo Gummy Vitamins..they are great, soft and don't even taste like vitamins!! In fact, we do not let her have candy, so her vitamin is her candy!! Which always remember to place in a safe place away from your kiddos!! Thanks!!

Fairly good information except stay away from the chemical artificial sweetners. You're much better off just using stevia which is a natural powdered sweetner that's even sweeter than sugar. It actually helps the body miantain correct insulin levels and is alkalizing. It's found in the natural herb section of stores. Also, watch what kind of fish you eat. Some have high levels of mercury and other toxins. It's best to eat fresh caught atlantic salmon for omega 3 oils. I find it much easier to get my omega 3 in capsules made by a reputable company that only uses the safest, purest ingredients.

it's all such a challenge. i think you have to read everything, listen a lot, and try to follow the best advice... then there's the problem of willpower to stay on track! now, if they could only get us that magic wand...

A very good alternative to sugar is Xylitol, which tastes almost just like sugar and has no weird aftertaste. I can't stand the taste of Stevia or Splenda. No one ever mentions Xylitol and according the the package it has anti-bacterial benefits. And it is all natural. Try it!
