Committing to low-carb diets
I'm committing to a low-carb diet with my lover, and we're both excited to try it. We figured we'd use the diet as a base, but she plans to add to hers based on her goals, while I'm sticking to it for mine. Do you guys have any experiences, thoughts, or advice you'd like to share on them? This will probably be my best…

Kidney stone diet
Has anyone here had kidney stones (10/10 don't recommend)? I had my first one last week and had it surgically removed. It was the most excruciating painful thing ever. I think it was caused by dehydration (I'm chronically dehydrated and get IV fluids every week) but I definitely don't want to get one again so what foods…

Renpho Kitchen Scales?
Evening, I got the Renpho body scales for Christmas and loving them. My kitchen scales are on their way out. Looking at the Renpho kitchen scales, they don't seem to have great reviews on amazon. Does anyone have them or used them?

Will chia seeds break my fast?
I've been doing IF (15:9) and this week was adding chia seeds to black tea in the afternoon, during my eating period (12-9). I normally had a cup of tea in the morning before IF. Will 12 oz of black tea, no sugar, with 1T chia seeds break my fast if I have it in the morning?

Quest protein bars

Food Guilt
What food have you bought that you loath, but was too expensive to get rid of, so now it has a permanent home in your pantry? I bought these around the same time I started taking a turmeric supplement. Now I can’t bear the sight or smell of turmeric. Not to slam the maker. I love this company’s spice mixes and their honey…

Edit serving size
Hey guys, I scanned the following barcode and this came up. It's a dutch pack of thin sliced chicken fillets. The package is 130grams and it contains 10 slices. Which means 1 slice is 13 grams. However, the serving size only allows to choose from 100 or 1 gram. Can't I just edit it to 13 grams and enter as 1 serving? Now I…

Freezing raw meet twice? Bad idea or is it safe?
I had some frozen raw meat to defrost in the fridge for about half a day but due some changes of plans it won't be eaten in the next 2-3 day so I did put it back in the freezer because I assume it won't last that long in the fridge. But now I wonder: Is that safe to eat after 2-3 days after defrosting in the fridge again?…

5-HTP is fantastic!
Hi, I wanted to tell you all about this new supplement that I have been taking for the past week. It has made a dramatic improvement in my life and overall perspective of this diet thing. It's called 5-HTP and is available at many grocery stores, and natural foods stores. It is a bean extract that acts as a "precursor to…

Specific portion weight
In the app Lose It! You can specifically put in a weight of a portion. This app seems to only allow “portions” as outlined on the packet, or you work out a proportion. Would be nice to say 150g quiche. Not 1 portion quiche (120g) and have to then work out the difference. I hope that makes sense.

Plain baked chicken wings
I cannot find a consistent answer for the nutrition info on a plain baked chicken wing. Skin eaten, no breading, no frying, no sauces or seasoning (I'll enter those in separately) I see it ranging from 43-86 calories per wing with different protein and fat counts. What do I believe??

Anyone else have a Trader Joe’s problem?
TJ’s isn’t my most convenient store, but I’ll make a trip there once or twice a month. There’s a long line to get in and I need to set aside a decent chunk of time. Then, they specialize in seasonal, limited edition items- if you don’t get it now, you may never get to try something! So, they create this sense of scarcity…

Food Deals (coupons, sales, etc.).
I thought this could be a place where people post where you found a great price for a food item, found any good coupons, or let people know about a great sale. On coupons.com there is a coupon for the new Magnum Ice Cream pints ($1.25 off a pint).

Does anyone here have Fatty Liver and have any tips?
I was recently diagnosed with NAFLD back on June 24th when I went in for pain in the upper right quadrant of my stomach. I had an ultrasound done which showed a severe fatty liver, but no masses. I've spoken to a liver specialist, who recommended weight loss and exercise, and her initial diagnosis is NAFLD, but, I'm going…

I just had oven-roasted broccoli for the first time
My only regret is not having tried it sooner. Holy cow so good, and I'm somebody who does like broccoli cooked in other manners. Anything you've tried later in life that you wish you'd discovered earlier?
