Do you want to lose weight? I know I sure do but even though I’m constantly saying it, I’m not always doing something about it. I seem to be something of a “bag of hot air.” Wishing and hoping don’t make it happen though.

I tried a fresco style crunchy taco at Taco Bell yesterday, but just one. I wasn’t holding out much hope that it was going to taste good because what’s a taco without cheese? (which is why I only ordered one instead of two or three.) But I was pleasantly surprised. It was really good (either that or I was really hungry). I actually didn’t miss the cheese at all and I’m from Wisconsin where we pretty much think everything is better with cheese!

If you haven’t checked out the Hungry Girl website yet, you’re missing out on some great low calorie recipes (love the blueberry scone recipe), food swaps (lower calorie, fat and sodium choices to replace high calorie favorites) and tons of product reviews. Plus there’s a free daily e-mail you can sign up for. I get the daily e-mails and really enjoy them. In addition to product reviews and recipes, there’s fun and silly news. That’s how I found out January 12 is National Curried Chicken Day (who decides this stuff?).

Do you buy lean ground beef in an effort to cut fat and calories? No matter how lean the cut of meat is, there is some fat in it. If you’re like me and want to remove as much fat as possible while still enjoying treats like sloppy joes and tacos (my favorites), rinse browned ground beef in hot water.

To buy organic or not organic is a dilemma I face every time I go to the grocery store. I like the idea of buying organic but the prices are at least twice as much as conventional and the selection is small. But one of my resolutions for this year is to eat healthier and that includes eating organic and natural foods as much as possible.
When it comes to produce I look for organic for the conventionlly grown varieties that have been shown to have the highest levels of pesticide residue. The cleanest ones I buy conventionally grown. The Environmental Working Group has put together a list of the cleanest fifteen varieties of produce.

Successful weight loss equals eating more fruits and vegetables, but with that often comes concerns about the pesticide content of some of those fruits and vegetables that even thorough washing won’t remove completely. It makes me feel like I’m trading one bad thing for another (being overweight and the health risks that come with it or literally eating toxins in the form of the pesticide residue).

I don’t know about you, but there are a lot of times that I reach for something to eat or drink because I want a different taste in my mouth and not because I’m hungry. To freshen your mouth and get a yummy taste in it conveniently and without consuming a ton of calories chew sugar free gum which is only about 5 calories a stick.

It’s January, I’m psyched to eat healthy, and that includes eating more fresh fruit. Broiled grapefruit is easy and quick to make; and by my calculations a half of broiled grapefruit is just 1 Weight Watcher point.
