You wanna lose some weight? If you're hungry late at night and you want a snack you just take a bell pepper and pop it in your mouth right there...
do you mean a hot pepper? aren't bell peppers mild? i don't know.
well if you don't like those you know what you can do? Just take an apple, core it and stick a bell pepper inside...
just drink water.
yeah but then you have to tinkle a lot
btw i wasn't taking the pepper thing seriously lol
hahaha thats true.
But your kidneys, colon and liver will thank you for it!
hee hee that sounded soo sesame street-ish.
i can imagine a happy colon puppet with a childrens voice talking about how he needs to be healthy and water helps!
yeah i drink tons of water but i stop an hour or two before going to sleep haha
i eat ice chips at night, doesnt make you tinkle and gives you something to crunch on. this is why i love carrot chips...they are fresh carrots, just cut w/ ridges in them...like chips. so yum
i was reading this article that there's a certain percentage of peeps that just hearing the sound of a "crunch" will curb their appetites. Like they feel satisfied hearing a crunching sound. *am i explaining that right?
yea that makes sense, and i think that's me, i like something to crunch on. (why i always love fat-free popcorn) it's just like, something to do while sitting around w/o adding too many extra calories.
I've been addicted to fat free popcorn with a little freshly grated parm over it lately. It's so much better than salt to me.
okay, this is not really applicable, but why do people say "freshly grated parm" is it not as good if you grate it ahead of time? i get a big block of pecorino romano and shred it up in my food processor. same thing with "freshly ground black pepper" what's the difference?
Well I know black pepper loses oil as it sits out. I can definitely taste the difference there. Sometimes I pre-grate my parm, but mostly I'm too lazy. Plus it tastes "lighter" and sharper to me when it's freshly grated. Someone who came over for dinner told me it was the consistency of "snow". I think it hardens, albeit slightly, when it's pre-grated. It's just my preference.
yea, that's true, now that you mention it. makes sense.
