Side bar: this show is fantastic motivation for anyone who is thinking about beginning or has already begun building a healthier diet and lifestyle! Start with a medium-cauliflower, and break it up into florets. Steam or microwave cauliflower until it is soft. Optional: add garlic powder, cheese, salt and pepper to taste if you like. Personally, I wasn...

Saturday, November 27, 2010. A Lesson in Carbs. Every 4 grams of carbs = 1 teaspoon of sugar".

Saturday, November 27, 2010. Hey, Badda-Boom, Badda-Bing! I mentioned that the past few days have been posing difficulties to me in terms of following the diet.

The Matol Project: A Tasty & Healthy Treat
http://thematolproject.blogspot.com/2010/11/tasty-healthy-treat.html
Wednesday, November 24, 2010. A Tasty and Healthy Treat. So, I wanted to dedicate a post to something new that I've been turned on to. It's something so simple, that I didn't even think about it when I was on a mission to find some sweet treats for an after-dinner snack. The treat that everyone loves as a kid is actually a great option for anyone trying to avoid sugar, but still satisfy a sweet tooth. While regular jello has sugar and carbohydrates, no-sugar added jello has none! Orange and Red Peppers.

The Matol Project: 1 Month Update & Tip!
http://thematolproject.blogspot.com/2010/12/1-month-update-tip.html
Friday, December 3, 2010. 1 Month Update and Tip! So, it's officially been one month since I've been on this diet. I really can't believe it! I won't lie, it feels like a lot longer, but I am very proud of the progress I've made. I have officially lost 28 pounds! Averaging just less than one pound per day is definitely an accomplishment! That doesn't even include high fat and sodium contents. So, new diet outlook: instead of simply turning to simple foods, be conscious of what you're putting in your body!
