An interesting article at Salon.com about how the physical experience of food – what the author calls “playing with your food” – can influence appetite. And from Fooducate, something else to figure into the ever-challenging, not to say fraught, topic of “serving sizes”: density. A half-cup serving of Grape-Nuts cereal is 58 grams – two ounces. A 3/4-cup serving of Grape-Nuts Flakes is 29 grams, barely over an ounce.
Recipes! Chow.com has easy roasted or baked chicken recipes (great for the time of year when we Arizonans are actually willing to turn the oven on, as well as for those nights when you're thinking “If I have to deal with one more damn boneless skinless chicken breast … ”) and six ideas for healthier homemade pizza. And Chow's Supertaster does a video review of five different WW Smart Ones meals. Disregard what he says about the meaning of the name “Weight Watchers 360”.
From Darya at Summer Tomato: “Healthy Snacking 101”, and a collection of “9 Surefire Ways to Sabotage Your Weight Loss”. (Start a really hard workout regimen! Choose an impossibly restrictive diet! Rely entirely on willpower, because we all know how well that works!) At Lifehacker, how to learn to love healthy food even if you're a picky eater! And a couple of studies have shown, again, that moderate exercise can have a very beneficial effect on your health.
More recipes! From Smitten Kitchen, gnocchi in tomato broth, not sauce. Simply Recipes has salmon with fennel baked in parchment (“It can look somewhat fancy and intimidating, but I assure you, it's crazy easy to do”). And courtesy of Snack Girl, DIY Reese's peanut-butter snacks and a breakfast hash that's good even without bacon!
