i like eating the yacon raw on its own. ihaven’t tried yet, but i know it can be made into a salad.i guess it can be cooked but i think cooking it will detract the sweet, fresh taste

i love “love generation”! they play it in our cosmic cycling (aka spinning) class sometimes. although last dec and these past couple of weeks, i have not gone to exercise. i must get on that bike soon. and i should have my blood chem tested. i might be like one of your crew with bad results!

i heard from a friend who’s lost weight a lot that she would eat one citrus fruit before her meal. if it’s green daw, it’s better. usually she’d have an orange, but when she’s here in the philippines, she’d have a dalandan. she really has slimmed down. must be all that fiber?

I hate Camote so I’ve been incorporating(on & off) Yacon in my diet for almost 6 months. I eat it raw, sometimes cooked and add it to salads.

honey, I have tasted yacon but never purchased it. Do you eat it raw like singkamas or cook it as well? Jacob’s Mom, is an elliptical like a stairmaster thingee? Misao, good luck with the targets! I think all reasonable goals are doable if one puts their mind to it…

MM, have you tried yacon? It looks like camote but tastes like sweet singkamas. Good for dieters as it makes you feel full. Great taste too. I saw some in Shopwise Cubao. Sells for Php50 a kilo.

Hi, MM! I’m trying to lose weight too. Four pounds so far. Finally convinced the hubby to buy me an elliptical. I have *such* a poor track record for sticking with an exercise regimen so he thought this was just a passing fancy. :) Anyway, I’ve found that I can burn more calories on the elliptical than the treadmill, in the same amount of time! Just thought I’d share that tidbit. :)

this is just great! i’ve been following your posts for several months now (almost a year, i think). but i’d be more of a regular now that you’re gonna feature healthier foods. i’m trying to lose around 12-15lbs in six to nine months. and hopefully, i’d maintain it. more power!

Best of luck with the weight-loss program. Fitness is always a noble self-improvement goal, with the added bonus of fitting into your clothes better . =)
