Healthy Food Chart

We ate late tonight, but the meal was great so it was worth the wait (sorry that was like a line from a Dr. Suess book). I went to the store and bought some fresh shrimp, scallops and mussels to make a seafood fra diavolo.

Does the new wonder food acai really work to lose weight? Lately that’s all you are hearing about especially since Oprah and Dr. Oz talked about it on the show. But read this from ABC news for an interesting rendition…

The UK Advertising Standards Authority has ruled that a Weight Watchers radio ad is misleading and “must not be broadcast again in its current form.” Weight Watchers claim their program is “not a diet” – but it seems some people beg to differ (something discussed in detail on this site)….
