How To Make Your Own Nutella...without All The Calories And Fat
georgia girl replied to georgia girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You are welcome. I have seen recipes for Nutella on Pinterest made with ground hazelnuts (made in a food processor) but that is too much trouble for me. Most people probably don't like the extreme dark chocolate flavor that I like, but that's why I said to decrease the chocolate and increase the honey if you wanted a sweeter chocolate. -
I came across this article on how to boost your metabolism and how to maximize your fat burning. Lots of great tips! Check it out. http://xfinity.comcast.net/slideshow/news-fastestfatburners/?cid=hero_media

It seems like I have heard not to boil your veggies too. I can't remember where I heard it from though...

Thanks for your tips thomasmite. I agree with you on the fresh fruit and vegetables. I can usually eat fruit okay, but I have a harder time eating vegetables with my band. I just ordered a juicer and I can't wait for it to come in! I am looking forward to getting in some great nutrients without having to struggle with the pain of eating it.

Anyone Have The Living Well Healthmaster Emulsifier?
georgia girl replied to georgia girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Stephyanders, I have a Ninja prep blender now, but it's a really old one. Thanks for the info. Not sure if this is the one you are refering to, but I just looked up the Ninja™ NJ600 Professional Blender ($99.99) and it seems to compare well to the Healthmaster. The reviews were mixed though. The Healthmaster is digital and can be set to make hot soup from raw vegetable form in 8 minutes. Does yours have that feature? -
Anyone Have The Living Well Healthmaster Emulsifier?
georgia girl posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have been trying to decide whether I want a new high performance blender or a juicer, and this product seems to do both, or close to it, and it cost less than the others. The best feature is that you can put the whole fruit or vegetable in it and it is suppose to liquify even the peeling (the most nutritious part). It seems like the way to go, but I would love to hear from someone who has one. Thanks! -

JennyBee, I'm doing great! I am down 40 lbs, but I've lost about 20 of those pounds in the past 6 weeks. My journey has been a rollercoaster to say the least, but things are going great right now. How about you? -

Haha...I do love cooking! I've always called myself a creative "wannabe" chef, lol. I love to just get in the kitchen and create something new. But baking on the other hand, forget it! I hate measuring and I hate instructions. This is why I relate to Rachael Ray so much, lol. -
How To Make Your Own Nutella...without All The Calories And Fat
georgia girl replied to georgia girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, that's the only "food item" I've ever ordered from Amazon and it was fine. It comes in a sealed jar, like Peanut Butter does, and they also have some that comes in sealed bags....depends on which brand you get. -
How To Make Your Own Nutella...without All The Calories And Fat
georgia girl replied to georgia girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I love it too! I was getting kind of low, so I ordered some more from amazon today. I ordered the regular and the kind that has the chocolate in it. I'm excited to try it in my smoothies!! It's basically ground up peanuts. It comes in powder form. You add a little Water to it and mix it and it comes out kind of the consistency of peanut butter. It has 85% less fat and much less calories than regular peanut butter. -

Right now, I alternate between interval jogging/walking and Bob Harper's Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation DVD. Bob's video is a beast of a workout! You go from weights, to squats, to prisoner lunges, to weights again, to jumping jacks, to plank exercises, to push ups, to weights again.....you get the drift. It's brutal and there are no breaks. It's a great workout! -
