I went to Besito tonight... it's in huntington village.. NY ave.... first of all.. its a really classy place... great atmosphere. .. but also... I told them I had celiac and the waitress knew exactly what to do... she warned me about things I shouldn't eat... it was just a great experience... I got the chicken tacos... they give you chicken, beans, rice, lettuce, pico de gallo.. and then corn tortillas.... most of their food is corn based....

go there!

If anyone is from Long Island... I just went to Mama's in Oakdale. It was the best Gluten free meal I have ever had. The mozzarella sticks were amazing.. I gpt chicken marsalla with ziti.. and they even broght out a gluten free dessert tray... with cheesecake, german chocolate cake and homeade canolis.

Very good place!

they also brought gluten free bread to the table!

whether your working the same muscle groups every day depends on your specific goals. You should give your body time to rest.... but if youre not using intensity when lifting... it shouldnt really be a problem when lifting every day. If you want to see some good results.... try this routine...

chest/ triceps- mon

back/ biceps- tues

lower body- wed

thurs- take the day off or just do cardio

fri- shouldures

sat- cardio day

sunday- cardio

I personally think its better to lift before you do your cardio... this is so you have the most energy and can really fatigue your muscles. You should prob hop on the treadmill for 5 minutes or so to warm up before lifting... then lift... then do your official cardio.

If you can... try to use intensity rather than duration in your cardio too. This means.. instead of doing a 5.0 or whatever on the treadmill for a half hour.... kill your self on the tredmill for 15 minutes.

You can try to interval train....with lets say 3.5 as your active rest... and maybe a 7.5. Alternate between these two speeds depending on your fitmess level.

Thats really all I can think of to tell you.. I believe in intensity of the excercise over duration.

If you need anymore advice.... try

I know I have posted this before... but I am leaving tomorrow and I want to see if I can get anymore ideas for good restuarnts.

I will be taking a road trip along the entire west coast... from San Diego up to Washington. If anyone has any good restuarnts... or even reastuarnts that have accomodated you... please tell me!

I love the Cinnammon Chex - eat them by the handfuls

The cinnammon is so amazing. I would eat it all the time even if I wasn't celiac.

I know I have already posted a topic about this place.. but I have to again. This place is amazing. I went there last night with my boyfriend and a whole group of people. They all loved it. The owner and his daughter gave me free gluten free corn bread mix. Also... they have sandwhiches now. A special baker goes there and bakes the bread. I asked about the bread.. and the owner broght me out a toasted roll for free... It was big and tasted great!...

It is def worth the trip for anyone that lives on LI

Any body find them in New York Yet?

I just found them at Waldbaums yesterday! I got the cookies!

I just read on a website that they will be priced at $4.49.

Does anyone know if they are out in stores yet? All the websites say June 2009. It's June 2nd.. I know I'm impatient.

That's good to know. How do you make it, add water and stir or how?

First put warm water in a bowl and add the yeast that it comes with. Then add the dough, oil and eggs. Then use a mixer... or just stir with a spoon. Then you let it rise for 20 mins... spread it out on a pan... bake for 7 minutes... top with what ever you want... and throw back in the oven for 15 mins... it came out perfect.

If there is anyone out there who has not tried this yet.... it's amazing. I made it last night... it's the easiest thing in the world to make. I didn't even use a mixer. I made a sicilan pie. The crust was crispy... and did not fall apart. I've been going around trying gluten free pizza from a bunch of places... but this was the best gluten-free pizza I have tasted yet. My boyfriend said he didn't notice a difference.

I like to snack on baked cheetos, baked lays, rice cakes with peanut butter, boars head honey maple turkey... in a roll up with low fat cheese, I also snack on hard boiled eggs, grapes and apples. One of my favorite snacks/ meals... is a protein shake. Most Gold Standard protein powder is gluten free. I get chocolate and vanilla from the vitamin shop and mix in 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tbs of peanutbutter, 1 banana and ice... it tastes like icecream!

DO they have any chicken dishes that are gluten free?

Thank you!

That's great! This is why I love this board!

Does anyone know if the betty crocker frosting is gluten free?

Chocolate and peanutbutter fudge

1- 14 oz can of sweetend condensed milk

1- bag of peanutbutter chips

1- bag of chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

1- pan lined with tin foil.. make sure tin foil is big enough to hang off the sides.

1) pour 1 cup of the PB chips in a microwave safe bowl- Add 2/3 cup of sweetend condensed milk. Micorwave on high for 1 minute. Take it out, add 1/2 tsp of vanilla. spread mixture on bottom of lined pan.

2) Same thing with choc chips... microwave, add rest of sweetend condensed milk... then add vanilla after its microwaved. Then spread the choc mixture on top of PB mixture.

3) cover, and put in fridge to let cool for about 2 hours. Then you can take it out of the pan and cut it into sqares.

This recipe is gluten free... but obviously not milk or peanut free.

We were is San Diego last month and there is so many choices I want to live there. There is a Pei Wei, Chipolte and a Z Pizza. In Poway there is a Red Brick pizza and in Temecula there is a Pizza Fusion. But my absolute favorite is that the Whole Foods in La Jolla (right by San Diego) serves gluten free deli sandwiches made to order! They were the best! Amazing gluten free bread and anything you want on it! I got a turkey, bacon and avacado sandwich and it was enough for lunch and dinner!

That's amazing! I'm sure my boy friend and I will be looking for places to get a simple sandwhich... now I know I can stop by whole foods and get one. Thanks for the info! I will def be trying their deli.

Thanks for the input everyone. I didn't know cheesecake factory accomodated.. I have one 20 minutes away from my house.. I will have to check it out. And speaking of sushi... I know if I buy it packaged... it usually has gluten in it... but is sushi usually gluten free when made fresh? Because the only ingredients are rice, fish, maybe vegies and sea weed.

Yeah... I'll always look at the clock when it's 11:11... because I always want to make a wish... it used to freak me out... that every day I would catch 11:11.. twice a day...but it's really something called confirmation bias. It means that you are so concentrated on that time... that you are not paying attention to all of the other times you look at the times... but you pay attention to that one time.

I could look at the clock 20 times a day... and if I happen to see 11:11 twice... it's really not that big of a deal.. I just make it out to be because thats the special time I'm really paying attention to.

I am going on a 2 week trip all the way from San Diego to Crater Lake in Oregon. I have already done a lot of research on places to eat, bakerys and grocery stores... but if anyone has any input at all on what places are specifically good.. that would be really helpful.. thanks!

I eat about 1600 calories a day... but I also work out vigerously 6 days a week... and I am only 4'10'' and about 105lbs... so I need less calories. I eat about 1300-1400 on days I don't work out. This has helped me maintain my weight. If I wanted to lose I would probably keep my work outs the same and eat about 1200 a day.

If you live on Long Island and you are anywhere near Farmingdale... Total Health on RT 110 is having "Sample Saturday" today.... I shop there a lot... they have an entire aisle of all gluten free... and an entire freezer...I have found more stuff there than I have at whole foods. They also have all different brands of supplements and vitamins... and certified nutritionists walking around to help you....

anyway... it's from 11-5 today.. they are giving out samples, product tasting, gift bags, nutritional info, literature and demos.

And by the way... if you are from Long Island and have not tried Pizza Bistro yet... I suggest you go... I went AGAIN last night(The first time I just had the pizza and it was awesome).. and tried the chicken parm, mozzarella sticks and pasta... AMAZING.

I have been diagnosed for about a month and a half... it's really not so bad... there really is a replacement for everything... I'm looking forward to learning more!

The whole foods brand was the first brand of cookies I ever baked gluten-free... They taste like regular cookies... my family didn't know the difference... they were gone the next day... mostly because of me. I have not found any other mixes that compare to the whole foods brand.

A whole story on being gluten free is on News 12 Long Island. It's about 7 minutes long... they visit different restaurants and bakerys and talk about how being on a gluten free diet can be delishious even if you're not a celiac!.. It's a pretty cool story and I'm excited it was on the news... anyway... its been playing every hour. It plays at the end of the hour... the next time it will be on will prob be around 8:45 or so.
