But man I am gonna try not 2. :) I do try moderation with sauces, but like you said, the 2 tsp serving seems like nothing!! I basted the last time I baked some chicken brst, didn't use very much and the taste was still great! I am pretty addicted 2 Oinker's Sauce from my favorite place in Atlantic, IA... Thanks for the pointers! I definately enjoy your site!

A lot of the vitamins in those things aren't stable and they're poor quality at that. It's all marketing baby! Green tea is awesome, but there are other options. I have a cup every morning because I NEED caffeine. There are other ways to get green tea that are better (closer to actual green tea than vitamin water) and a heck of a lot cheaper. I hear ya about barbecue sauce. We grilled chicken last night and I had barbecue sauce on it. Sauces are fine in moderation, but far too many people just slather their food with the stuff. It's usually because they're addicted to the sugar found in the sauces so they can't handle the "blandness" of the food without it...but if they just stopped using the sauces for a week or two, their taste would return and notice that real food tastes wonderful and doesn't need all that extra stuff.

I have been drinking the green tea version quite a bit...Also, I can't stay away from barbeque sauce, I am addicted! What do you think about vitamin water?

But don't worry because it'll come off if you get rid of that stuff. @Deb - You sound a lot like me. I really try to limit my bread intake - no matter if it's whole wheat or not. I really started to feel bloated after eating breads and I don't get that way anymore. I just eat a lot of spinach (and other lettuces) salads and lots of fruits and veggies for all my carbs. Never felt better! @Jim and @Angie – You’re right…that’s probably the reason you’ve got a little poundage to lose. But don’t worry because it’ll come off if you get rid of that stuff.

Since then I've found that my system doesn't agree with most breads and it took removing them from my daily diet to figure that out. I just need to work on the diet pop. who knows, maybe I'll lose another 15 after getting rid of the liquid calories. Thanks Fit Dad! I took bagels out of my diet (and most breads) and lost 15 pounds.
