Now I feel spoiled because my Father-in-law is the master at peeling those suckers and he just gives me the basket of seeds, ready to eat!

My husband and I eat them sometimes – hard seeds and all. We just cut a couple wedges out of the peel and pull them off (so it's about half peeled) and pick out the juicy seeds as we go. It's less messy because you're not cutting the juicy parts open.

Alton Brown (Good Eats) did a show on pomegranates! It's how my hubs and I learned how to do it.

Fill a bowl with water, cut the pom in half, and put it in the water. From there you should be able to break the seeds from the pith in the water – GENTLY. Minimal mess! The seeds will float (or sink – I can't recall. Hubs did it last time.), while the pith does the opposite, making it easy to separate them. Pull out the seeds and drain on a towel!

@ Brittainy Are you supposed to soak it in water? Cool? Warm? Thanks for the tip - I have one more (I bought two) so I will try that!

@Danielle - that would be a lot of foods you have to avoid... seeds?? Really?? I will keep that in mind.

@Becca, if I find an easier way I will let you know. Try again next quarter, you never know! :)

@ KC and Lolo Thanks!! , but I don't know if I could eat the seeds... they are pretty hard.

This is good to know! I had wanted to try it before, but now I know not to waste my money (& time, it sounds like!)

I tried to do the Nutrisystem Blogger program and they said I didn't have enough traffic. :(

So, did you know that I have an extreme phobia of food with seeds? Yeah, you just posted my arch nemesis of foods. I do not believe there is any possible way that you can make them worth eating, so just give up. In fact, I believe they might be poisonous.

Congrats on this week's progress.

Cut your pomegranate in half, and let both sides soak in a large bowl for an hour or two, face down. Usually all it takes after that is to break the half in half, and tons of little pips will come pouring out.

It took a while for me to figure it out, but now I can get my pom de-pipped in about 5 minutes. I usually eat them like sunflower seeds...snacking on them makes me feel less hungry, too! Good luck ;)

1.2 lbs is great!! You are 1 pound lighter than last week, and you did it with temptations in the house!
