Oo! I like that! Thanks for sharing! I have food allerigies so I really just can't do any of the diets that want you to restrict certain types of food. I'm already restricted enough.

You know there is a new diet book out called something like called something like the "not a fad diet," that says you can eat all sorts of stuff just as long as you only eat two thirds of what you would normally eat. So two slices of pizza instead of three.

I'm already restricted enough. Hey, as long as you burn more calories than you eat, you'll lose weight! (In fact I always worry about diets that eliminate entire food groups; I've always thought it was important to eat a variety of foods to get all the nutrients you need, but that's another topic for another thread!) These are good tips to easily cut back on a few things though! I like the salad dressing tip -- I never thought of that, and I love red wine vinegar, I might have to start mixing it into dressings

Thanks, nydoll! These are great tips. I hate depriving myself, so I don't "diet." But I am walking more, and eating healthier. Trying to lose 6 lbs to get back to where I was before I had my little ones! It's so hard when you're cooking for and feeding 3 other people beside yourself.
