1. They're 7, 8, 10, or even 12 packages for $1.
2. They do not require cooking . . . only rehydrating in hot water. Surely you have a microwave? Somewhere? Or something? A hotpot?
If microwave, break into a cup or bowl, cover in water, and nuke a minute or two. Don't let it boil over. Stir in the flavoring.
If all you have is hot water, smash the package into crumbles, pour on hot water, stir in the flavoring, and let it sit a few minutes.
3. Didn't you meet a nice Japanese boy? Ramen is his national food. Invite him over for dinner. He'll show you how to doctor them up.
And I don't have a fridge so I can only steal non-perishable items like cookies, bananas, oranges, and stuff like that. I tend to bring lots of dry cereal and bread and bagels back to my room.
Add cheese to that list. Cheese does not require refrigeration. Nor does dry sausage, like salami (at least for a while).
I couldn't tell you how many times I've made a bagel and peanut butter sandwich at dinner and saved it for breakfast the next morning because I didn't want to walk all the way over there at 7am.
This is why you've lost 10 pounds.
You are so wise, and I love that avatar.
There's a microwave and a stove on the bottom floor of my building but I don't have any pots or pans, and I sent all my dishes and silverware to Katrina victims through a local church drive, so that's really my fault, I guess. I don't like the noodles anyway (I've eaten them a few times before, without the meat seasoning). I didn't know they were so cheap, though.
I wish fruit salad didn't require refridgeration. I eat some of that every time I actually go down to eat breakfast (as opposed to bringing something up the night before), its so good. They don't put bananas or apples in it because (I presume) they turn ugly if they sit a while, so I get fresh bananas and apples from the fruit stand and add them to it.

Yes there is. It's called obesity.
There may be no substitue for it, but if anyone thinks that, and willpower, can solve everyone's weight problems, they are completely wrong and WAY off base.
I tend to agree. I think weight is an extremely complex issue based on much much more than "just" calorie intake vs energy expenditure.
I tend to favor a LARGE component of genetics.

All the Best, Tom
I'd like to hear more about that. You got sources? Research? Case studies? Trot 'em out, please.

Well, here are a few places that provide some information.
Tell me about it. And if one pokes around a little on the site and sees where one's weight and height fit in on the "Healthy Weight" vs. "Overweight" table-- !

I am happy to announce that the chart shows I am at my ideal weight.
Unfortunately, the chart also says I should be 3 feet taller.

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

Well my 44 in waistline is clearly the result of the 12 pack of Pepsi a day habit I've garnered for the last decade.
I finally, about a month ago, broke the habit once and for all. Just reducing that sugar out of my diet is causing me to lose some weight. I didn't really do it for the weight (my heart is in great shape, my colesterol is great...I'm actually quite healthy) but because I know that I really at my age need to cut down the sugar consumption. Diabetes runs in the family and it's better to be safe than sorry.
I'm actually pretty happy being a fat man approaching middle age. Give me more grey in my hair and I cannot wait to don the Hawiian shirts and white poly pants up to my ribs.
Now, a sure-fire weightloss program should always start with a tapeworm.
Seriously though, staples are dangerous. Fad diets are sometimes very unhealthy. Pills can be downright deadly.
Watch your intake. Eat the right foods, eat healthy. Exercise. And don't try to lose too much too quickly.
