Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Diet is a word that you don't really want to hear on Valentine's Day, especially since the word you probably
want to hear is chocolate. Unfortunately, millions of people are either actively dieting or simply watching
their weight - and they neither want to eat all those extra calories and fat grams at a meal, nor do they want to
refuse them. After all, they've only lost weight, not their taste buds. Dieters have learned how to cope at
restaurants, but if you are inclined to cook for your sweetheart, you will have to customize your dinner menu to their
requirements. Fortunately, this isn't as difficult as it seems. Try one of these menus for your special evening, one
lower in fat and one lower in carbs. Both include an appetizer, side dish, a main course and a dessert, all of which
should go over in a big way with your Valentine - without making them any bigger.

Finally, Chili Orange Truffles are lower in fat and carbs than many slightly more traditional truffles, so you might want to make up a batch of these for dessert, too.

It's even more RUDE to ask him to return it! I work in Godiva and have seen both scenarios. I often prefer to help men because they're not afraid of chocolate! Geez, you females act like it's gonna bite you! It's just food! Indulge! Women who refuse chocolate because they're "trying to be good" really, really annoy me. So, having chocolate is going to ban you to hell? Then I'm already there because I love it and burgers and sugar!!! (And I'm a woman!)

For many years I couldn't eat chocolate, as much as I loved it. It created all sorts of havoc in my body, including extreme cramping during my cycle. When I would hear occasionally, from somewhat insensitive friends, "Just eat it, will you? It won't kill you!", I'd sigh and explain that no, it wouldn't kill me, but I really did not want to deal with the month-long lingering effects of a momentary indulgence. Fortunately, I've never had a sweetheart who was so rude as to make me feel that I had to eat something I didn't want.

The people in this country need to learn that dieting is not about depriving yourself, it's about nurturing yourself. Nowhere else in the world are there so many overweight people. And with the cooking options available today, there is no reason to make boring food just because you are trying to lose weight.
