You know what's grim? Cauliflower "rice."

Tastes gross, makes your house smell absolutely foul if you heat it at home, not filling, a declaration that low-carb diets are pain and suffering.

It annoys me when the dairy lobby tries to stop people from using terms like "almond milk" but I would absolutely get behind an effort from the rice lobby to stop people from selling cauliflower products as "rice."

I've lost about 15 pounds this year and I've hit on a surprising diet secret: soup. Correctly-chosen soups are filling, flavorful and not too calorie dense. Doesn't have to be clear soup. Whole Foods sells a gumbo that's 22 fluid ounces, about 410 calories, very satisfying lunch.

And it contains real rice!

Anyway seems obvious but I find it's way easier to stick to a diet that involves tasty foods instead of unpleasant foods.
