Dieting Sucks - a list by socalmom

About this list:

I love good food and good wine. A lot. That's why I eventually had to go on a strict weight loss diet. It's hateful, but it's working. I have a long way to go and will probably never be able to eat "normally" again. These products are making my life somewhat worth living.

Qualifications:

I will spend the rest of my life on a diet

No Fat, No Carb, No Calorie Salad Dressings

Description

Because (hard to believe though it is) I get tired of eating lettuce doused with vinegar.

Sugar Free and Fat Free Dressings

First to recommend

Description

My diet program is not only low carb -- it's low cal and low fat, too. It's hard to find a good tasting salad dressing that satisfies all three requirements. Maple Grove Farms makes a balsamic vinaigrette and a raspberry vinaigrette that fit the bill. I use the former as a marinade for flank steak and the latter for chicken and my family doesn't know the difference! (This is the sweetest thing of all.)

Diabetic and Low Carb Chocolate

First to recommend

Description

It's chocolate sweetened with malitol, which means it can be tolerated by diabetics and low carb dieters (each candy bar is just 2g usable carbs) and just 170 calories (compared to 36g of carbs and 300 calories for a Hershey bar). It's a life saver for that time of month when you HAVE to have some chocolate (the ladies will know what I mean).

Nintendo DS

10 people recommended this item

Description

A handheld gaming system on a list of weight loss aids? You're darn tootin'! Like lots of people, I have a problem with "night feeding" -- craving sweets and carbs late at night while watching TV. But a funny thing happened when I got my DS -- started playing games and doing puzzles during that late night danger zone... and with both my hands occupied, I broke myself of the night feeding habit. And I can take this baby with me anywhere I'm tempted to snack out of boredom.

MBT Boost

First to recommend

Description

OK, I don't have a pair of these -- YET. Because at $250+ per pair, they're an investment. But if they work: allowing you to tone and strengthen the muscles in your legs just by going about your business, they could save me a fortune in gym membership fees. So I want 'em. I want 'em badly.

RK Express Coffee

First to recommend

Description

My current diet regimen doesn't allow me any dairy, which means I can no longer enjoy my beloved grande lattes. This liquid coffee concentrate tastes surprisingly good black (no bitterness at all) -- and is perfect for those times when all I want is one easy cup.
