WAIT WHAT NO CALORIE SALAD DRESSING!



Recommended Posts

We carry all flavors at the BariatricPal Store. You can buy them for MUCH less in your local grocery store, if available. (It costs us a ton to ship glass and liquid so we need to charge a bit more than we do for other products.)
If a product contains 5 or fewer calories per serving, manufacturers are allowed to round that down to 0 on the Nutrition Facts label.
Oh really thanks for the info and I'm going to check Amazon.

I agree 100%
Same goes with Zero calories sweeteners like Splenda. Each packet does have (4) calories but under 5 calories per serving.
“According to federal regulations, the terms ‘calorie free,’ ‘free of calories,’ ‘no calories,’ ‘zero calories,’ ‘without calories,’ ‘trivial source of calories,’ ‘negligible source of calories,’ or ‘dietarily insignificant source of calories’ may be used on the label or in the labeling of foods, provided that food contains less than 5 calories per reference amount customarily consumed and per labeled serving,”
I'm personally not worried that these rules are what's causing the worldwide Obesity epidemic [emoji3]
I agree they are deceiving us consumers. I get so mad at the fact that America is ranked high for obesity compared to other countries. I hate hate hate when I go into a grocery store and when I try to buy healthy I get slapped with paying $3 or $4 more then if I would of gotten the fatty stuff. So many people have habits and food is mine, I mean when your raisings 4 kids by yourself life can get stressful and thanks to my love of food when I'm stressed or sad and even depressed it's a battle. Obesity has caused my disability and that's even harder.

Get outta my head, Alex! That's not your's! Ha! I was thinking the same thing...that if I have to worry about the 12-15cals I'm getting in my Salad Dressing and not counting in MFP, I have a much bigger problem from an order of magnitude proportion. And as they said in Jaws, "We're gonna need a bigger boat..." *snort*

But yeah, the rules of the food industry keep them just a few steps in front of us all the time.
I wish someone would of told me this 20 years ago who know's I may be a skinny bombshell LOL JK who am I fullin 🤣🤣. This is me 25 years ago and damn I want her back. 20150310_123700-MIX.jpeg me7.jpeg me6-1.jpeg

Had the ingredients stopped after tumeric I would have been sold but titanium dioxide... no thanks...

Yeah. I just read about titanium dioxide this morning. Had thought it was pretty "innocent." Maybe not so much now.

I still don't think that will be the thing that finally kills me. So I will worry about it maybe next month. ;)

Walden Farms is a really good Brand. So far i have liked everything i tried from them EXCEPT one thing.. the peanut butter.. it was more like PB flavored Jello.. I dont like Jello lol so this was the worst for me.. But the other stuff.. I havent really found something of theirs i did not like, having said that. I do not buy it often. I like to be creative with what i have.

Didn't read all the comments but I think the Walden dressings are DISGUSTTTINNNNGGGG AHHHHHH. I just use lite Italian or herb ranch. The calories/carbs/etc are negligible in the grand scheme of things.

No but I am Flushed for success, just send my mail to the Porcelain Throne Room, spend a lot of time there, but what I pass is light yellow, found out people do better on Fluid Drive. Now if I could get rid of the Weight Loss wrinkles in my face, when the puffy cheeks departed my facial skin got rather confused so it's hanging there hoping in vain that my chipmunk cheeks come back. Maybe I will put money in the jar for a face lift and tightening. The panni and thighs may have to wait!

I enjoy their "mayo", although it's a bit sweet, more like Miracle Whip, which I don't care for. So, I mix 50/50 light mayo and the Walden Farms with some cider vinegar and some spices and get a pretty nice dressing for chicken or tuna salad.

Their caramel is great! Wonderful on apple slices! I agree about the Peanut Butter - YUK!

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
