Questions And Answers On Dieting On A Budget

Shelley asks…

Dieting + low budget?

I’m on summer vacation and obviously that introduces the idea of snacking (groan). I’ve been sticking to a 1500 calorie day pretty well, and I’d like to keep it going over the summer. Does anyone have some great lunch and dinner recipes that are under about 500 calories each?

I’m also a teacher and that means no pay over the summer…so low-budget ideas would be appreciated!

admin answers:

Wraps are great thrifty, and diet friendly. Get your favorite greens, a can of your favorite beans (chick peas are excellent for this), and some of your favorite veggies. You can also throw on there skim milk cheese or some chopped nuts, lite dressings, or just drizzle with olive oil. Tortillas last forever, and greens in a bag are portioned just right that they can be eaten up in just a couple days, same with the beans. Nuts are in the last forever category, as is the cheese.

For snacking, try GORP. (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts) I usually add multi-grain Cheerios to mine, and other dried fruits and nuts.

Edamame (soy beans in the pod) can be found in the freezer health foods section. Grill or boil them, then toss them with salt or your favorite seasonings. Great diet food and incredibly tasty!! Also good shelled tossed with pasta, salads, rice…etc.

I have tons of recipes. If you have any questions let me know!

 


Daniel asks…

Do you know where to find a budget diet menu plan?

Not just a diet please, a diet menu plan with complete meals and recipes. I just can’t find one with a grocery list that costs lest than 50 bucks a week per person, and that’s if I already have a fully stocked pantry. If I didn’t have the pantry items like spices on hand, most meal plans I’ve seen would cost at least 200. Please tell me there’s a budget menu out there :(

admin answers:

Unfortunately there are no plans out there that cost less than 50 bucks a week for a full week. Most of them out there cost about 30-50 dollars a day. However, Nutrisystem has a meal plan where they provide you with three meals a day plus snacks, and it really helps you lose weight for about 10 dollars a day. That is by far the cheapest one out there.

Mike asks…

Recommendations for dieting within budget?

Simply, it’s tough being a student and living on my own. It’s so much simpler to get something off the dollar menu at the local fast food joint. Obviously, there consequence of that has arrived, with me gaining weight. I’ve opted buying frozen vegetables and fish, but are there any recommendations on how to keep a diet on the lines of south beach, without the cost?

admin answers:

I have found this diet to be pretty resonable. It sounds like you’re doing well with your fish/veggies, for breakfast you can have 2 eggs and canadian bacon or turkey bacon which is a cheap breakfast. Good luck to you, I know it’s hard.


Paul asks…

What would be a good menu for a family of two on a very limited diet and budget?

Our diet is restricted because im lactose intolerant and cant have very much gluten (found in breads and such). We also have a very restricted budget. So a lot of fruits are out because theyre expensive. Were not picky…in fact we love veggies and fruits expense is just another concept to fracture in. So if you could possibly give me some simple recipes it would be grately appreciated.

admin answers:

Lentil and vegetable soup is always a good dish – full of protein from the lentils and all the goodness of the vegetables – and economical, because what isn’t eaten can be frozen and reheated later.

Alternatively, things like steak can be economical if it’s purchased close to the sell-by date, and frozen for future use in things like stews which, again, can be padded out with potatoes and vegetables.

Ken asks…

Any advice on dieting on a budget?

I’d like to shed some pounds, but fat free and low fat food is so expensive! Are there any tips for staying on my diet, while staying within a good budget too?

admin answers:

Go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food after 7
p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on your
initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If you don’t
eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey cakes, you
don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your diet is
still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to calculate points or
to buy special meals or plans.

Questions And Answers On Financial Institutions In Maryland

Wayne asks…

Do you think that the US financial situation is worse than the media is telling us?

Could we be heading into another depression?
Florida, Maryland, Utah Banks Shut as Financial Crisis Deepens
By Ari Levy http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aIfyJ5j8OHTM&refer=worldwide

Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) — Banks in Florida, Maryland and Utah were closed yesterday as regulators wrapped up the busiest month for failures since the housing slump began in 2006.

Ocala National Bank in Florida and Suburban Federal Savings Bank of Crofton, Maryland, were shut by federal regulators, according to statements sent by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. MagnetBank of Salt Lake City was seized by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. The banks had total assets of $876.4 million and deposits of $790 million.

Six banks have failed this month as tumbling home prices and a 16-year high in unemployment boost foreclosures. The FDIC classified 171 banks as “problem” in the third quarter, a 46 percent jump from the previous period amid the worst housing crisis since the Great Depression.

Regulators closed 25 U.S. banks last year, the most since 1993, draining money from the FDIC deposit insurance fund, which had $34.6 billion as of Sept. 30. Ocala and Suburban Federal combined will cost the FDIC fund about $225.6 million, the regulator said. No estimate was provided for MagnetBank.
Stock Markets Record Worst January Ever!

The good news is: Non existent. The S&P 500 (SPX) finished its worst January ever, down 8.57%.

During the 1st year of the Presidential Cycle, since 1928, the SPX has been up 62% of the time, in January during the 1st year of the Presidential Cycle, with an average gain of 1.7%. Out of the 8 times the SPX has been down in January during the 1st year of the Presidential Cycle all but one turned out to be the beginning of a down year.

Of Course it is, it shows you what happens when the gov’t borrows too much and spends too much. Now we all have to pay the price. If the gov’t learns to stop wasting money, this country would be prosperous.

What is your opinion of AIM Exclusive Release: Casa de Maryland?

Accuracy in Media is the leading citizens’ media watchdog whose mission is to promote accuracy, fairness and balance in news reporting. AIM exposes politically motivated media bias, teaches consumers to think critically about their news sources, and holds the mainstream press accountable for its misreporting. For more information, please visit www.aim.org.

CASA DE MARYLAND SUMMARY OF FACTS

•The Central American Solidarity Association (CASA) was founded in 1983 in Takoma Park, Maryland.
•Core activities include organizing day labor centers, teaching tactics for avoiding police/immigration officials, coordinating government benefit receipts (such as driver’s licenses) and law enforcement interference.
•CASA de Maryland‘s primary objective is to seek blanket amnesty for all illegal aliens in the state, with designs for greater outreach.
•Officials for CASA openly threaten any who oppose their efforts by picketing private residences, schools and places of employment.
•Over 40 percent of CASA’s annual operating budget is funded by state and local governments.
•Funding from a variety of sources (2003-2010):
•Healthcare providers and research foundations (i.e. Aetna and Komen Breast Cancer Foundation) $200,000+
Financial institutions such as Bank of America, Citi, Freddie Mac and Wachovia/Wells Fargo gave $817,000+
•Venezuela’s CITGO Petroleum Corporation donated $1.5 million
•Ford Motor Company and Foundation gave $1.2 million+
•George Soros’ Open Society Institute $350,000+

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/aim-exclusive-release-casa-de-maryland-the-illegals-acorn-130216373.html

CASA receives about 40 percent of its funding from Maryland state and local governments—almost $5 million of taxpayer dollars in 2010—and spends most of it lobbying for illegal immigrant perks and exceptions. Their recent lawsuit is a blatant attempt to derail the democratic process itself. So it is a fair question to ask: what is CASA de Maryland?

Illegal Alien Advocacy
The 1980s flood of illegal aliens escaping instability in Central America was the impetus for CASA’s creation. It has since morphed into a multi-million dollar institution whose primary mission is illegal alien advocacy. Following is a partial list of its activities:

1.Day labor centers—a hub for illegal aliens
2.Instruction in avoiding police/immigration officials
3.What to do if detained by police/immigration officials
4.English as a second language
5.Counseling on available government benefits
6.Agitating for driver’s licenses for illegals
7.Agitating for bi-lingual education
8.Agitating for social services, like in-state tuition for illegals (i.e. the DREAM Act)
9.Undermining security and border laws
10.Interfering with law enforcement efforts against illegals.

On the website Somos Baltimore Latino CASA advertises membership with a drawing depicting the CASA membership ID card, (translated into English via Google with corrections):

BECOME A MEMBER OF HOUSE [CASA] – The organization CASA de Maryland is re-launching the campaign “BECOME A MEMBER OF [CASA]“ in order to register more Latinos brothers. To date, CASA [has] more than 10,000 members.

Membership allows us to achieve many legal and civil rights [victories], the most recent is that of Maryland’s Dream Act favoring undocumented students. CASA is currently working alongside other organizations to promote immigration reform.

CASA membership gives you access to services as well as take classes in English, computer, citizenship, health care, legal advice and participation in activities and programs of CASA.
State offices are allowing Illegal immigrants to use this card to register for welfare benefits, in violation of state and federal law. More about this later.

CASA collaborated with the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) through its “Detention Watch National Immigration Project” on a brochure explaining how illegals can protect themselves during immigration raids and arrest. This brochure is readily available at CASA locations. Text on the cover says:

Some people who are not United States citizens have been arrested or detained by the U.S. government. Learn how to protect yourself if this happens to you.
It essentially tells you how to evade the law, or if caught, minimize the impact and avoid deportation.

admin answers:

Casa de Maryland provides DESPERATELY needed services to people in the DC area and all over the state of Maryland. You do not need to agree with all their stated goals or their methods to understand that this is a tremendously important organization helping the most vulnerable people among us.

Do you really think having volunteers quiz granny on questions for her citizenship test is a bad thing? Many attorneys in my area volunteer with Casa to do exactly that. Wouldn’t you prefer that recent immigrants have a place to go to learn English? They do that, too.

Jim asks…

can I sue the federal government for taking my tax dollars, using them in an undefined manner, and then raisi?

When congress voted on/essentially agreed upon a $700 billion dollar package to bail out financial institutions, among countless other government spending projects, I never had a personal say in whether or not I wanted the package to go through, and the money was to come out of my taxes in the form of taxes being raised either directly as through the clear 1% state sales tax increase which I have seen in Maryland, or indirectly as through small payroll deductions. Nonetheless, the financial institutions which were being bailed out apparently did not have to sign any contract or make any agreement about how the money was being spent, as it was noted that there was no such record made after the money, which was apparently granted to them, was spent by them. With this said, could I sue the federal government for freely GRANTING, not loaning my tax money to financial institutions AND not holding them accountable for how it was spent, but then raising my taxes to make up for the cost of this? (even though there were millions of OTHER Americans besides me who were affected by this. Lol).

admin answers:

Sure, go ahead. Good luck. You won’t get very far with such a frivolous lawsuit but if it makes you feel better to say you did it, why not.

Your elected representatives are given the responsibility of approving spending. Read the Constitution and figure out why your personal say is not required.

Richard asks…

If you detect the devil’s hand in current events, you may be closer to the truth than you think.?

Illuminati Defector Details
Pervasive Conspiracy
Satanic Cult Plans ‘Fourth Reich’
By Henry Makow, Ph.D
10-14-2

If you detect the devil’s hand in current events, you may be closer to the truth than you think.

A woman who was raised in the Illuminati cult describes a powerful secret organization comprising 1% of the U.S. population that has infiltrated all social institutions and is covertly preparing a military takeover. Her revelations cast “the war on terror” and “homeland security” in a new light.

“Svali” is the pseudonym of a woman, age 45, who was a mind “programmer” for the cult until 1996. She was the sixth head trainer in the San Diego branch and had 30 trainers reporting to her. She has risked her life to warn humanity of the Illuminati’s covert power and agenda.

She describes a sadistic Satanic cult led by the richest and most powerful people in the world. It is largely homosexual and pedophile, practices animal sacrifice and ritual murder. It works “hand in glove” with the CIA and Freemasonry. It is Aryan supremacist (German is spoken at the top) but welcomes Jewish apostates. It controls the world traffic in drugs, guns, pornography and prostitution. (http://www.suite10 1.com/article.cfm/ritual_abuse/40931) It may be behind political assassination, and “terrorism,” including Sept. 11, the Maryland sniper and the Bali bomb blast.

It has infiltrated government on a local, state and national level; education and financial institutions; religion and the media. Based in Europe, it plans a “world order” that will make its earlier attempts, Nazism and Communism, look like picnics. One other detail: these people are not very happy.

Svali’s courageous testimony explains why our children are no longer taught civic values, why they are being habituated to homosexuality and violence, and why our “culture” is descending into nihilism and sexual depravity. It raises the possibility that George W. Bush and his Administration are Illuminists, and suggests that much of the world “elite” may be engaged in a mind-boggling criminal conspiracy.

In March 2000, Svali began writing a monthly column for survivors of Illuminati ritual abuse at Suite101.com. (http://www.suite101.com /articles.cfm/ritual_abuse) In December 2000, H.J. Springer, the editor of CentrExNews,com contacted Svali and conducted an extended 18-part interview with her by email, which is reproduced on line and is copyrighted. (http://www.centr exnews.com/columnists/Svali/archive.html)

“I am convinced she is the real McCoy,” Springer wrote to me. “I have personally relayed numerous email messages to her from other members ritually abused, brainwashed, raped, sexually abused people & you name it– some of them confirming to me her story. So I have absolutely no doubt that Svali has been part of the Illuminati since childhood.”

I also trust Svali’s testimony because it confirms my intuition and research. Everything fits: from the dead hand that seems to suppress humanity to why Clinton gave secret technology to the Chinese to reports of concentration camps in the US. It explains why certain people I know behave in a conspiratorial way. I thank Svali for giving me a frightening but incredible key to understanding the world.

A friend warned me to be skeptical of a hoax and offered to help me confirm her personal story. I accepted his offer. I urge you to read her entire testimony and make up your own mind. Read “Part One” to “Part 18″ first, starting at the middle of the list and working up.

With their permission, here are highlights of Svali’s correspondence with CentrExnews.com’s H.J. Springer. I have also included material from her article “Are the Illuminati Taking Over the World?” (http://www.suite10 1.com/article.cfm/ritual_abuse/53556)

Pervasive Presence

Svali: “The Illuminati are present in every major metropolitan center in the United States. The Illuminati believe in controlling an area through its: banks and financial institutions (guess how many sit on banking boards? You’d be surprised) Local government: guess how many get elected to local city councils? Law: children are encouraged to go to law school and medical school. Media: others are encouraged to go to journalism school, and members help fund local papers.

Beliefs

Svali: “The Illuminati is a group that practices a form of faith known as “enlightenment”. It is Luciferian, and they teach their followers that their roots go back to the ancient mystery religions of Babylon, Egypt, and Celtic druidism. They have taken what they consider the “best” of each, the foundational practices, and joined them together into a strongly occult discipline. Many groups at the local level worship ancient deities such as “El”, &quot

admin answers:

That’s why in the last days the Nation of Israel (12 tribes) are awakening slowly to war against the children of evil- (the satanic bloodlines) the 12 tribes of Israel that were scattered all across the world into slavery are waking up. The House of Judah and the House of Joseph (Israel) are going to rise in the last days. The Illuminati knows this and they will usher in the New World Order and there false god will come before the REAL JESUS CHRIST COMES.

David asks…

How are dollars backed by the US government? Can the US government simply print more currency?

This bailout is going to send the US government into a deficit in the billions. Is the US government not in control of US currency? Can’t they print more dollars? I know that the gold in Fort Knox is not sufficient to back all currency in circulation. How else is this mighty dollar backed?

admin answers:

The US government can easily print more dollars. As the gold standard has been already abandoned in 1970s, there is no requirement for backing all the currency issued.
But printing more dollars will lower the purchasing power of dollars. The exchange rate of US dollar will plunge downwards. The confidence which other countries have on US dollar will also fade away. So excessive printing will instead badly effect the economy through higher inflation.

Jane asks…

How many dollars can each American give to his favorite candidate?

Is it possible to give them 1 million dollars, or there is a limit for example 2 or 3 thousand dollars?

admin answers:

Yes I think its 2300.00 for the primaries and then you can give another 2300.00 for the General election.

I think that’s what the limit is… But there is a limit.

Looks like its a little more complicated then that..here is the link.

Don asks…

What can I buy with 100 dollars for my 11 year old daughter who is horse crazy and loves animal?

My daughter has a homework assignment for social studies and needs to buy 5 things for 100 dollars- this is fake she doesn’t actually have 100 dollars, but in her imagination… So… It doesn’t have to add up to one hundred dollars but it has to be under one hundred dollars, the items can range from food to toys, but nothing inappropriate please. Thank you.

admin answers:

If that is the complete assignment, why not just have her look on some horse supply websites?

Some good ones to use would be Dover Saddlery, Jeffers Vet, KV Vet Supply and SmartPak.

You might gently remind her about the sale and clearance sections.
All of these sites also have things for dogs as well.

Lynn asks…

How many Silver Dollars in a 75 gallon tank?

I’ve been cycling a 75 gallon tank now for a month and everything is at a good level for dollars. I check it every other day. Currently have five mollies in the tank to help with cycling, no deaths and everything is good.
Looking at getting some silver dollars this coming weekend and the question is how many. Thinking of doing 8-10 sound good?
Also, thinking about going with some freshwater shrimp in the future, feasible or no?

admin answers:

Pretty safe to figure 1in. Of fish= 1Gal. Of water. I a 75 gal tank Silver Dollars will probably reach 2 1/2-3in.. So, putting 8-10 silver dollars in the 75 will still give you some room for bottom feeders. 35yr exp.

Mark asks…

What is the cheapest and easiest way to obtain Eisenhower Dollars?

I want to collect Eisenhower dollars, but I don’t know where I can get them. Same for Kennedy half dollars, Susan Anthony Dollars, Sacajawea dollars, and president dollars. Whats the cheapest and easiest way? Do banks have them?

admin answers:

For most of these, you should be able to go to your bank and request them. They might have to “order them” (meaning they don’t have them on-hand, not that they’ll charge extra for them).

Graham asks…

admin answers:

The ONLY way to do that is to buy lotto tickets with the money and hope for the best.
