I'm really disappointed with these eyeliners. I have two - majestic plum and emerald. I've tried using them numerous times but I always end up unable to transfer much color to my eyelid. The color that does end up on my eyelid is very uneven. I've warmed them up on my hand or a near a light to soften them a bit but even then it doesn't work. For the price though it was definitely worth a try.
I'm on the fence about this one. I have the green one and though it has staying power, the pencil always drags on the eye and isn't as smooth as other pencils. However, it does have good staying power. It isn't as good as other retractable pencils for the same price so I wouldn't repurchase.
I got this eye liner free with an order so I never actually bought it in the first place and I won't buy it again. I must differ from the majority of MUA reviewers, it seems.
I do have a lot of trouble with eye liner - it never stays put on me. This product is like a propelling crayon. The colour I have is called "blackest black". It certainly looks black in the tube but when you put it on I find it more a wishy washy grey. It is easy to apply unless you want a really fine line which is virtually impossible because you can't sharpen the crayon and it's a rounded end. It doesn't go on in a nice dark line. It appears too waxy and doesn't seem to set. It also rubs off quite easily during the day. I know other reviewers claim this doesn't happen but I'm afraid on me it does.
I will stick to my Laura Mercier cake eye liner I think.
I'm quite fond of these eyeliners. They're inexpensive, easy to use, and don't smear. They used to make a bronze color (that they sadly discontinued) that I adored. Their black and green liners are also good colors. If you find the color too bright, it is easy to smudge with a cotton swab. And the eyeliner doesn't creep during the day.
This is the best eyeliner I've ever used - smooth, creamy and long lasting on my oily lids! I used a Dior eyeliner before this and it used to tug on my lids during application ALL the time. The only complaint I have about this product is its packaging, the ultra thin crayon broke after a few days and little pieces managed fall out of the tube and dirty my makeup case. Overall, this is a fragile but extremely good to use eyeliner!
I have this eyeliner in Deep Sea Blue and Cosmic Brown. This review is for Deep Sea Blue. It is brighter in person than on the website. I don't think it compliments my blue eyes as well as a deeper blue has. It goes on my crepey eyelids fine, and lasts into the evening with primer. I will buy this eyeliner again but not in this color.
I haven't gotten the actual product yet but I went and I got samples of three colors : Cosmic Brown, Emerald and Starry Night Blue. I absolutely love these eyeliners. I use Cosmic Brown more on a daily basis and it gives you that subtle look that I really like. It also goes on smoothly and doesn't tug or feel rough. Things like that irk me so I'm really glad these aren't like that. Emerald is a pretty good green color and it looks amazing on tans. (I see that green does look good on tan I dunno why but green brings out something) And Starry Night Blue is like the name of it a starry night. It's like the dark blue of the sky and it's just a great color.
I'm planning on going to Avon to get the actual products soon possibly more samples of other colors.
I have been wering eyeliner for 20 years and have tried every single thing out there from Wet and Wild to Estee Lauder. These are, by far, the best ever. They last all day, do not smear, and dont make my eyes red, itchy, runny, or irritate them. I dont use Avon products normally but this is the only eyeliner I will wear now. I use Emerald. I did note the dark blue and the purple all look brown on me. I use the eyeliner inside my eyelid on the bottom. I love this stuff and buy 2-3 at a time.
My sophomore year of high school, I was on the dance team and we would sell Avon products. One of the girls introduced me to this and since then, this has been the only eyeliner I've used. I tried others but I always came back to this. It never smeared/wore off through all the hours of dance practice/football games/performances and was very convenient to use. It doesn't need to be sharpened and it glides on easily. I'm now a sophomore in college and it still hasn't done me wrong. Hopefully this will be around forever. =)
I bought this eyeliner in Cosmic brown and I love it. It doesn't smudge but is easily blendable. It goes on evenly and the color, doesn't tug my skin, and the color is true to the picture in the Avon book. Another thing I love is that you never have to sharpen it. The eyeliner has never broken on me either. The best part about this is that it's CHEAP!!! Avon often has sales so you're bound to get for even cheaper! I would recommend this product because of it's superb quality and price.

This was the Red Arrows performing, taken at an air show at Swansea Bay.
Now, that's rare! :-)
Cool :)
Cool shot!
Thanks for the nice comments! This was taken before I had my SLR and my friend had been showing off with a bit telezoom lens on his SLR. I had the last laugh though as his zoom was too big to get the whole heart in the frame! :D
That is very cool. so lucky to be there to get this:)
Oh, this is a great capture! I've seen it performed at air shows here too, but never with such a perfectly shaped heart! Bet you had fun!
Thanks dancinfreakshow and Debbie. Yes it was a great airshow to watch and I'm really pleased I managed to capture this heart!

how fun! :) bet this makes a great seller in cards!
Thanks Nikki! Unfortunately, as of yet, no sales. But perhaps around Valentine's Day??? Fingers crossed! :D

When you don't earn a paycheck or receive a review from your employer, it's hard to measure if you are being successful as a SAH parent. A Huffington Post blogger talked about this issue:
When you are a stay-at-home parent, how do you define success? Is a successful SAHP one whose house is pristine, clean and organized? Is he or she dressed in real clothes every day, reserving yoga pants for actual yoga and flip-flops for the pool deck? Are the children clean but still having fun, well-dressed but not too pretentiously, and fed organic, non-GMO, non-HFCS, homemade meals that they still enjoy and won't lead them to eating disorders? Do their children come home with straight A's on their report cards and sparkle with social prowess? Because if so, that's a pretty tall order for "success," and it is one that very few people can achieve. It excludes anyone with children who fit outside the mold of absolute average for whatever reason, and it assumes that just because a parent stays at home, he or she is solely responsible for the well-being of both the house and the children.

How do you think success should be defined for any parent?

IUB Students
If you want to learn to lead for the greater good—whether it is in public service, a nonprofit organization, or the corporate world—a degree from SPEA may be the right choice for you. Students must apply for admission to SPEA, and are encouraged to apply during the semester in which they meet criteria for admission. SPEA has two application periods each year: one with a December 1 due date for spring admission and one with a May 1 due date for fall admission.
Most SPEA students are committed to making a difference in the world through expertise in their area of study. Such commitment is a product of understanding their aspirations and selecting a major that will prepare them for the people they hope to become. The areas of study in SPEA are multi-disciplinary in nature, so many SPEA students are interested in fields both inside and outside of SPEA. We encourage students to explore all areas of study that interest them. Fortunately, most of SPEA's degrees have room to add minors or certificates in academic areas outside the major course of study.
You deserve a major that's a great fit for you! Making an informed decision about that fit requires you to understand your academic fields of interest, the courses needed to prepare you for work in those fields, and--most importantly--it requires you to understand yourself.
Learn more about our degrees at a Pre-Admissions Advising session. The session gives students an understanding of the SPEA application process, admissions requirements, recommendations for gateway courses, remaining degree requirements, and a timeline for graduation with a SPEA degree.
And, when you're ready, apply for SPEA admission online.
Applications are now being accepted through May 1, 2015 for Fall 2015 admission. (Applications for Spring 2014 admission closed on December 1, 2014, and we expect admission decisions early in the new year.)Some questions may be quickly answered via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. However, please note that you deserve detailed information related to your specific circumstances. Sometimes such detailed information is not effectively communicated via email. We will encourage you to make an appointment in these cases.

Subjective or Objective? - page 2
On our last BN test we had a section asking us to identify if certain situations would be subjective or objective data One of the examples (which I missed) was the one listed in the poll I still do not quite understand the... Read More
- 0Aug 28, '03 by RNIAMEven if the child could speak it would still be subjective. You can't see, feel. touch or test an oipinion about a poor appetite. If after a certain lenght of time you observe your patient refusing food and not eating then that would be objective. But a person just saying ther is a lack of appetite leads me to say this is subjective.
- 0Aug 28, '03 by colleen10I am interested to see what the answer and rationale is to this.
I put down "Objective" because while I understand that objective is what you can see - swelling, sweating, redness, infection, etc. our teacher really stressed that "Subjective" information can ONLY come from the patient. So, if the child is not old enough or too ill to speak for themselves, it may not have an appetite but cannot tell us that for sure himself.
Also, I think there is a very fine line with the way the question is asked. The mother can't say for sure whether or not the child is hungry, but she can "observe" that the child does not want food / has poor appetite.
- 0Aug 28, '03 by Marie_LPN, RNBut by the mother telling the nurse this information, it is sujective data to the nurse.
Objective data to the mother, but because mom is telling the nurse, then it is subjective.
- 0Aug 28, '03 by colleen10I found an even more specific definition of Subjective / Objective than what I even learned in class last week.
Subjective Data:
Referred to as Symptoms or covert data, are apparent only to the person affected and can be described or verified only by that person.
Objective Data:
Referred to as signs or overt data, are detectable by an observer or can be tested against an accepted standard. They can be seen, heard, felt or smelled and are obtained by observation or physical examination.
- 0Aug 28, '03 by det01I would say objective.
Subjective data is data that the patient gives you.
Ogjective data is data tha can be observed. The mother observed the behavior and told you about it. Therefore, I would say it is objective. Whether or not you observed it does not matter it is obsevered.
At least that is what I would put.
- 0Aug 28, '03 by 2nerbut you (or the data collector) didn't observe that behavior.
what if the mother suffers from munchausen by proxy (or however you spell it) ? The mother could be "telling" you something that isn't true just trying to get the attention of med providers. now when you run tests to validate what the mother's saying you're able to actually "measure" something. so that data would be objective.
now if she came in and told you that her kid fell down the stairs and bruised his leg you could observe that bruise. but the info you got from the mother would still be subjective. you observing that bruise is the objective data b/c you can actually measure the bruise.

Have Investors All Gone Completely Mad?: StockTwits
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- A wild ride in stocks today saw more brutally painful losses for the names hit hardest recently -- yet also powerful bounces far off the day's lows.
A quick perusal of sentiment scores for some popular names leads one to ask: who's right?
Many stocks have witnessed ugly declines in recent weeks, yet bullish sentiment remains stubbornly elevated. Something's got to give. Are the remaining bulls about to capitulate and send these stocks even lower? Or have the weak hands already puked, leaving these stocks in the stewardship of the smartest and strongest (read: non-leveraged, better capitalized) remaining players?
Let's discuss some stocks in need of more definitive signals:Facebook (FB) is 22% off highs set in early March. The stock broke to its lowest levels since the peak this morning. Yet sentiment scores in at 82% bullish, in fact higher than two weeks ago! Twitter (TWTR) is 45% off highs set in December, and also touched new "bear market" lows this morning. Yet bulls have actually been increasing their level of bullishness in recent weeks -- weighing in today at 73%!

Holt is a beautiful Georgian market town on the North Norfolk coast; an area of outstanding natural beauty with some of the cleanest beaches in the UK. This lovely village lies very close to the coast with Sheringham and Cromer a short distance to the east and the beautiful north Norfolk coast stretching away to the west.
The town, which can easily be explored on foot, is located on wooded high ground, and its name is believed to come from the Anglo-Saxon word for woodland. Most of the original medieval town was destroyed in a fire in 1708, and all but the church was rebuilt in Georgian style, the dominant style of the day. The Norman church was repaired and retained.
Visit the Holt War Memorial and the pineapple-topped obelisk and take a stroll around the country Park, Holt Hall and Estate, Holt Lowes or Spout Hills. Holt Country Park, situated a short walk from the town, is a beautiful native broadleaf and Scots Pine woodland, which supports a variety of flora and fauna. Holt Lowes, an area of heathland to the south of Holt, is also an important wildlife area. The 'Poppy Line' of the preserved North Norfolk Railway has a terminus just outside the town.
There are numerous antique shops in the town. Holt Summer festival, a week-long arts festival, runs in July. The town centre is beautifully decorated and lit up during Christmas, and the lights are believed to be the best in the country.
The nearby coast has many beautiful beaches. Morston and Blakeney are closest, with the larger resorts of Cromer and Sheringham a slightly further drive along the coast. Birdwatching, walking, driving along the scenic coast road and sampling the local seafood are among the activities available along the coast.
Check out Holt holiday cottages for great accommodation in the area, and see for yourself what this beautiful area of Norfolk is all about.

Yes it would be and you would have problems getting approved without a co-signer. Income these days plays a large part in the approval process. That's not enough income to support a $20K car loan. Even if you got approved for 0%
What is your current rate?
Have you figured out the current value of your vehicle?
What will do you with the negative equity that you have on the current vehicle - roll it into a new loan or pay it off before you finance a new vehicle?
Because you have such a high interest loan, you probably have not really paid down any principal balance. It is not possible to know without knowing all the figures (rate, term, initial finaced amount, etc). In order to find out if you have the ability to trade, you need to find out the current information first. It is a big stumbling block for you unless you pay off the negative equity before you trade it.

Since you have the additional funds to pay off the negative equity, it would be far better for you to sell your current vehicle privately so you get top dollar rather than trade it.
Then start fresh with a new loan with your CU. Trade in value is typically at wholesale value or less if the dealer can get away with it. If you go in without a trade, you can negotiate a better deal on the new vehicle especially if you have CU financing in hand.
Just refi your current loan.

I am not a nurse yet and waiting to start my access to nursing course in September,but once qualified as a RN wish to work in US.Browsing on the net I have found the name of two agencies but I am not sure if they are any good,and I am not even qualified yet to contact them.
Hope this helps some of you looking for agencies.The best of luck to all of you.
Please would you let me know,if they are any good.Thanks.

Is anyone ever tried to break the contract with OGP??
- 0Oct 18, '10 by oktravelnurseI am a US citizen. Worked for OGP as a traveler in Calif. Had completed the assign. and had just signed an extension when I had medical problems and was unable to finish extension. (I later had to have foot surgery). I informed them immediately, was trying to pack up as quick as possible and they expected me to be out of housing the next day. They told me if I wasn't working they were not making money and I was lucky I got that much notice. They are the worst, sent mgmt to my room the next day beating on the door saying I had to get out. Would never work for them or any of their sister companies again!

2013 saw the release of the highly acclaimed "Offramp Rodeo", following the release, they extensively toured all over Europe. So they will do after "The DeSoto Caucus" will have seen the light of day. The album captures the band at their peak. It is a piece of sheer beauty, with the best of what "Cosmic American Music" got to offer – but with the best imaginable additions to it, too. Very original music with brilliant and sometimes downright complex grooves, cool guitar work, and a timeless vintage soundscape inhabited by organs, maracas and vibraphones. Add to that two handful of clever and intriguing lyrics, haunting voices, and great dynamics, and you get the picture.

Over the next two months, the state Legislature and the governor will negotiate the details of the state's spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins April 1. A number of ideas presented in Governor Spitzer's Executive Budget are worth discussing – among them, proposals to help alleviate high property taxes and finally addressing sales tax collection from Native Americans – however, there are also areas of major concern. Although the governor pledged to rein in total spending, his budget increases spending by $7 billion, or 6.3 percent; a much higher rate than last year and twice the rate of inflation. His plan also fails to address debt reform, which is an area that still needs to be tackled.
I am pleased the governor's proposal targets more property tax relief, however, the method he uses to provide relief concerns me. Spitzer's plan eliminates property tax rebate checks, instead paying those monies directly to the school districts without any spending restrictions. With no mechanism to restrict district spending, there is no system to prevent school districts from eroding the STAR tax relief benefit.
I am pleased there is a call for the collection of sales taxes from Native American-owned businesses. The fact is these businesses have been operating with an unfair advantage over non-Indian-owned small businesses, which have to collect and pay sales tax to the state for the goods and services they provide. Governor Spitzer's budget calls for the collection of sales tax from Indian businesses, however, he does not define how the state will go about collecting the tax; there is no doubt this will be long-debated.
To pay for his big budget, the governor's plan calls for increased or expanded fees, such as an expansion of the bottle deposit to include non-carbonated drinks. Fees like this place additional "hidden taxes" on New Yorkers. In upstate New York, we need to do everything possible to reduce, not hide, the tax burden.
Spitzer's budget also fails to do enough to help local businesses survive in our increasingly global economy. As we debate the merits of his budget, I will bring this up and fight for additional relief in the form of meaningful workers' compensation reform and eliminating the corporate franchise tax on manufacturers. As New York's most important employers, small businesses need as much help as possible.
I am committed to hearing what my constituents have to say about the governor's budget. As such, I will be hosting a series of town hall-style meetings throughout my Assembly District, so I can bring your comments back to Albany for input during budget deliberations.

Vaccinations- Should Docs "Fire" Families That Refuse?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 08-03-2012 - 10:23am
Can you imagine being dumped by your pediatrician? More and more doctors are "firing" patients -- refusing to treat children whose parents refuse or delay vaccinations.
There's a medical reason: An unvaccinated 4-year-old with whooping cough in a doctor's waiting room could infect a young infant who hasn't yet been vaccinated. Some doctors say they don't want to put their other patients at unnecessary risk. While numerous studies have shown no increased risk of autism from vaccines, many parents remain concerned.
Read More http://www.ivillage.com/doctors-refuse-families-who-skip-vaccination/6-a-439841#ixzz1qty1Affy
What do you think? Should doctors have the right to "fire" patients when their parents refuse to vaccinate? Is anyone here delaying or avoiding vaccinations? If so, have you had any issues with your pediatrician regarding your decision?
|Thu, 08-09-2012 - 7:18pm
I think they should be allowed to fire a patient for any reason. It should go both ways...if we want to say no to a doctor by getting a second opinion or just switching because we don't like them, they should be able to do the same. In the end it would probably be better for both parties because the doctor will most likely be pushing them to do something they don't want to do.
|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 9:01pm
I kind of agree, because some diseases that are vaccinated against can be VERY deadly to an infant or pregnant mom and I would be devastated if I lost a baby or miscarried because someone refused to get vaccinated for certain things. our maternity ward where I delivered doesn't allow children on the floor anymore because someone came onto the ward with chicken pox and put the infants and pregnant mothers at risk. Thankfully nothing happened, but it was still very scary.

She's very pretty, is wearing so much makeup that she could be computer generated (plus she likely is touched up in the pictures).
I admire her confidence and hope she had fun. It's too bad she had to be touched up to the point of looking like plastic.
I bet she looks droolworthy without all the makeup and crap.
How about showing some real people instead of somebody made to look like plastic?

Modesty Covers on Magazines
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 07-29-2013 - 12:07pm
One of Britain's largest magazine retailers has ordered magazines with overt sexual imagery to cover up their front covers with "modesty bags" or risk being withdrawn from sale.
So-called "lads' mags" - publications marketed primarily to men - such as Zoo, FHM, Nuts and Loaded have been a staple on supermarket shelves for years and have become synonymous with the sexual content and glamour model photos displayed on their front covers.
Supermarket chain the Co-operative gave an ultimatum to publishers on Monday, telling them to deliver the magazines in pre-sealed bags designed to obscure the front cover.
If they do not comply by September 9 then the Co-operative has threatened to cease selling the magazine at the 4,000-plus stores it currently operates.
Modesty please! Cover up those magazine covers... - http://www.nbcnews.com/business/modesty-please-cover-those-sexy-magazine-covers-6C10783170
I've seen something similar on Glamour and Cosmo magazines at my local market. What do you think about them? Necessary or not?
|Wed, 07-31-2013 - 1:25pm
I agree with the poster that says just keep the porn off the cover to begin with!
|Tue, 07-30-2013 - 11:42am
Wouldn't that be nice? :) But it's not just obvious porn that's a problem, it's trashy magazines like Cosmo and celebrity gossip rags. Until the world changes and we all become less sinful, I'll just applaud my daughter's magazine flipping campaign and use the family friendly checkout lane so I don't have to look at garbage!
|Mon, 07-29-2013 - 11:30pm
What if we all just agree to keep porn off the covers of magazines and save the bags.

When Less Becomes More And It's a GOOD Thing!!
I wanted peanut butter this morning, actually had a dream about it last night, :doh::laugh: so this morning I had a bagel thin with 1/4 the amount of peanut butter I would normally have had in the past. The peanut butter I use on DDs is 100 cals for 2 TBS so today I had my peanut butter for 1/4 of those calories or 25 cals! And IT WAS REALLY GOOD and SATISFYING, TOO and I didn't have to use the all serving to get the taste I was "dreaming" of or save that "dream" for tomorrow on my UD!! Plus, I didn't have so much peanut butter that I didn't get to taste the wonderful raisin bagel thin, AND I saved some calories for another meal or snack later! :D
I have started doing this a lot on my DDs and I'm finding I can now almost eliminate the low cal foods (except I love this peanut butter :p) and just eat a "bit" of the stuff I really like and STILL be satisfied! I think it's the mind set for me that "I got to have it" more so than the amount of that food that "I got to have " and being able to have that food that is creating a win/win for me in my DD eating choices.
Now less has become more for me on my DDs. Less of the foods I love and I STILL get to eat them on my DDs, if I really, really want them. I have no feelings of deprivation on DDs now by doing this, and I still can "have my cake and eat it, too" if I want, just maybe quite a bit less, but I STILL get the taste I'm looking for!! :up::clap:
Love this. I think I'm headed there myself. Other than shirataki and LC cheeses, which I actually really enjoy, I'm not really having much on DDs that I wouldn't eat on UDs as well. So much of it really is about our mindset, and how we perceive what we're eating.
:goodpost: I know my portion size view has changed!! I never realized just how many calories I was eating on Atkins, no wonder I started to gain! :stars: I find that I can be happy and full with less.. I dont eat a lot of lf products, never was a fan.. except for laughing cow, and bordens 2% cheese slices thats pretty much it!
That's what I came to a few months ago too. For a long time I kept the regular item, and a low calorie version of it also, just for DDs.
But awhile back I just decided it wasn't worth it for most anything at all. So now the foods I choose to eat on my DDs are simple foods that are naturally low calorie already, or I eat the higher calorie foods in very moderate amounts on those DDs, and it works just fine.
The other thing I seem to be coming to is fasting until suppertime on DDs, and then enjoying a lovely, full and satisfying meal with a little evening snack later.
There are a very few low calorie versions of something that I choose simply because I actually prefer it over the normal version it is replacing, but mostly it's just the regular stuff these days.
And your mention of a bagel makes me want to go to Bruggers tomorrow for a raisin bagel with honey walnut cream cheese spread!
Yay!!!! That's awesome!! Hey so what kind of PB do you have on your DDs? Is the PB powder that is partially defatted? Brand please! :D
I too came to the early realization that waiting to eat till dinner works best for me and allows me to have a normal quantity of food and a lovely dinner with the thought that "from this meal forward, I can eat again". And it takes the frantic out of things. I'm not frantic or obsessing over what I can't have - over the forbidden. As a result, my quantities are more in line and "normal" whatever that is! I also am content for "tastes" or "bites" of things and don't feel like I need to have a serving.
Also, I may want a sweet now or then and I feel like I don't want it badly enough to go make something in the kitchen! LOL. So 9 times out of 10, a square of Lindt 85% and a cup of decaf coffee is enough for me. :)
Beeb, what is the name of that peanut butter 50 calories per TBS I have to get some of that.
Excellent. I think/hope this is where I too will get to eventually. At the moment - I'm more interested in finding out how low I can go - and what can help me get there!!
Although today's menu for dinner is quite normal!
I totally get what you mean. I've never bought "diet" versions of anything, because, well, Atkins spoiled me. I only want the real deal, lol. But on my DDs, I love that I can splurge and buy expensive things to eat and enjoy. Because I'm only eating a little bit of it, I'm not spending that much. DH and I really like fish, but it can get very expensive to get good fish. On down days, we can splurge and buy a smaller quantity of yummy things and we both are starting to look forward to down days and our luxurious down day meals: sashimi, ceviche, etc. Neither of us feels deprived at all. That's what I like about JUDDDD - there is hunger, but no deprivation. I can live with that.
I like fitnutz powder, too. 2T is 60 calories and you mix it with a little water and it makes a really peanutty tasting spread:)
I so agree. The one thing that I got from Atkins and I'm not going back on it eliminating fake foods and "diet" foods and "low calorie" foods from my food plan. I really do better with just smaller portions of real foods, especially when I concentrate on fats and protein.
Beeb, I made my favorite stir-fry the other night that includes a little peanut butter in the sauce but I only had enough calories for about half my usual amount. I thought it wasn't going to be very good but it was actually better that way! I could taste the other ingredients, not just the peanut butter. Go figure. :)
Same for me! :)
I really valued the emphasis on whole foods on the LC woe, with full fat foods, and less processed stuff that contain lesser quality fats.
The only thing is, I emphasized FATS on LC (steaks, bacon, whole eggs, lots of evoo, tablespoons of vco, etc.) and did not really separate in my mind that there were also lower calorie/lower fat proteins!
If I had thought more about those, it would have saved me when I first started JUDDD because then I wouldn't have gone out and bought lots of low calorie/low fat "diet" stuff. I thought I needed to because I knew all that full fat cream cheese, evoo, coconut oil, etc. would not take me far enough on DD. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking about having shrimp, fish, and many other lower calorie proteins.... So I tried to get through the DD with some canned vegetable soup and some LCow cheese on diet bread, raw veggies, etc. When I should have been having what would really work for me - a salmon filet with sides of veggies, or shrimp stir fry, or something else like that.
I realize many people like those low fat, low cal things anyway, but I couldn't stomach some of it (like the ff hotdogs) and didn't feel satisfied on most of it (like cans of veg. soup). I found some things I really do like, but for the most part if I'd been eating DDs the way I do now, I would have been eating better quality food and been more satisfied.
Now that I realize it's protein foods (with some bulk added, like veggies) that really fill me up, I have a much easier time with DDs.
I just have lesser amounts of the more fatty/high calorie stuff on DD. Example - A little cream cheese on Wasa crackers instead of piling it high with cream cheese. Then I can top it with a lot of lower calorie, very flavorful things.
I've also had the same meals on DD that I made for the family, just eating much smaller portions of it and eating it as slowly as I can, rounding it out with salad or other veggies.
There are ways to work in little bites and tastes of most anything on a DD, even if it's decadent. :up:
I am noticing the same thing, I have 2 packages of shirataki noodles in my fridge from 2 weeks ago, just don't feel like eating them. I am experimenting with skipping breakfast on down days now, and then eating breakfast foods (eggs and bacon) at lunch time, and then a very light dinner (salad and a small amount of grilled chicken). Less Fake food for me too!
That's one thing I like about paleo--the focus on real foods.
I'm not doing any lc/lf versions on my dd's either. Just smaller portions/leaner protein choices. I avoid artificial sweeteners for the most part too.
I love real butter - would rather not have it on DD - then eat the fake stuff!!!
Me too, Vicky. Fake butter is :sick: to me. I'd rather just wait until tomorrow.
I've made the same decision about eggbeaters (at least for omelets.) They taste rubbery and just wrong to me. I think a single hard-boiled egg would be better than a fake-egg omelet.
Yeah, I don't do much "fake food". I figure for me personally right now, I need every vitamin and mineral I can get out of real food - not to mention the amino acids I need along with fats within my 500cal budget.
So on a DD, food is very nutrient dense, caloric bargains. LOTS of veggies, a decent serving of the leanest protein I can get and then a dosing of fat - either olive oil or clarified grass fed butter or Kerrygold. The only "fake" foods I really do are the Walden Farm Zero Calorie salad dressing that I mix with herbs, dijon and Bragg's ACV to make dressings. I figure I get enough fat in my meats and with the added fats I put on to allow me to assimilate my nutrients. I average about 30% fat for my 500 cal DD.
