Salt

Mike added an entry about Lose weight : I’ve decided to try to really decrease the amount of salt in my diet. It’s hard because so many foods, especially processed food, have added salt. My first step is to not add salt to food. I’ve always been a “salt everything” person so it’s going to be a little difficult at first. From what I saw recently on a television show, this should help me lose weight.

There's something so elegant about its simplicity, about the volume of flavor hidden a part of the fruit that's typically discarded. Once you carefully remove the bitter white pith, you're left with pure rind , and the culinary options unfold: julienne it for marmalade or candied zest , finely grate it for salads or pastas, or cut wide swaths of it to infuse cocktails or stews. Become a member of the Slashfood Flickr pool to get a shot of having your photos featured in Feast Your Eyes.

I have to do this

caralovesyouu added an entry about lose weight : CW: 138 GW: 125 13 pounds. That’s all! I just have to lose 13 pounds. So easy, yet so difficult. I’m going to Mexico over spring break so I definitely want it gone by then. I always visualiZe how I want to look but I never seem to try hard enough. So starting today, I am going to make this dream a reality. So far today I’ve eaten half an apple and half a bread crescent for breakfast. A total of about 200 calories. So I can have about 800 more. I HATE the unsatisfied hungry feeling I wouldn’t normally have but I’m going to deal with it because I know in the end it will all be worth it.

Subway Customers Can Now Order By Text Message

Filed under: Fast Food , News Photo: Getty Images Can ordering fast food get even faster? In a busy and increasingly impatient world, standing in line or waiting at the drive-thru may eventually be replaced by text-messaging food orders. Starting today, 31 Subway franchises in Southern California are rolling out a three-to-four-month pilot program where with just a few finger taps, customers will be able to order menu items like the turkey breast and black forest ham sub. Here's how it works: Participating Subway restaurants in Los Angeles, San Diego, Bakersfield and Santa Barbara will get text message orders and in less time than it takes Jared to do 20 ab crunches, an automatic confirmation message will be sent back to customers, letting them know how long it will take for their meal request to be ready. If all goes right, a customer can then pick up their order without waiting in line. Continue reading Subway Customers Can Now Order By Text Message
