If you are not familiar with our Weight Control Program for bipolar people, please read the Introduction or visit Weight Control Central.

This week's tips include a delicious low-calorie bread pudding, info on carbs and diet, and training diary info.

  • Exercise and Fibromyalgia
    Many people with bipolar disorder are also diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Mood disorders interfere with healthful sleep, and sleep problems are one of the hallmarks of FM. So we are delighted to present this article by Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia Guide Lisa Lorden.

  • Marcia's Diet Tip
    This is an oldie but a goodie: NEVER shop for groceries when you are hungry, and agree with yourself ahead of time that you will not buy snacks on impulse. Better still, make a healthy list and STICK TO IT!

  • The Skinny on Carbs
    This article, from diabetes guide Paula Ford-Martin, was written for people whose health depends on keeping to a well-balanced diet, so has excellent information for people who need to know how to judge carb intake.

  • Recipe of the Week!
    Wonder's Low-Cal Bread Pudding

    Member recipe! High fiber bread, lowfat milk, applesauce and healthy substitutes for egg and sugar make this low calorie dessert a taste treat!

  • Keeping a Training Diary
    Several of our members are biking or using stationary bikes for their exercise, so this article from Bicycling Guide Kevin Weiss is for you - but also may be helpful for others doing aerobic exercise. Kevin tells what to include in your exercise journal (adjust as appropriate for your exercise) and shows a sample page.
