Veggie hater
I'm attempting a slow, but steady, turn over into Veganism. But I HATE celery, mushrooms, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, and basically every other non-carb veggie. Any suggestions on how to prepare them a healthy/tasty way to be able to start integrating them into my diet?

Worried about being counter-productive!!!
Ok, so I started this journey almost a month ago and am scared that I am not going to get results that I really want on a LONG TERM basis. So far I have been averaging about a 1-2 LB weightloss a week which is realistic, but I have yet to get to 1200 calories a day, I am close but not all the way there....and I am burning…

Sugar Situation
How do people stay anywhere near their targets?!? Just two pieces of fruit seem to pretty much bring me to my suggest limit of 25 grams. Even without eating a single sugary junk food item like cookies, candy, ice cream, etc my total sugar is between 3 and four times the recommended amount. I know things like yogurt (even…

What is a good low carb peanut butter? The one we have in the pantry now is 15g of carbs. My husband looked at the store tonight and couldn't…

FAT!!!! poly & mono!
So, I keep going over on freaking Fat! But I tried eating soo healthy today. The fat is mainly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat. But MFP doesn't seperate those. It just says, Fat. I went over 11 today so far, mainly from an avocado, canola oil, and tilapia being the main culprits. Should that matter since they are…

Warning for people low carbing
You will feel nauseous the first couple days of low carbbing especially if you try to do an Atkin's style induction phase (eating 25-50g/day or less). But tough it out because you'll feel euphoric once ketosis turns full on after those days - I puked last week because of it but the next day I felt super energetic and had a…

I have to have a good bit of protein with each meal. If not I get tired, clumsy, grumpy, and will eat everything in sight. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, how do you deal with it?

Food Intolerance Tests?
I have a lot of problems with gas, bloating, cramping, headaches, nausea, etc. etc... And I have been receiving treatment from a naturopath for a little while. He is boosting my digestion with enzymes and things, but so far no progress at all. My question is, has anyone tried a food intolerance test? The ones that I know…

To Sugar or Not to Sugar, that is my question...
Ok... so, I hit this spot where I'm not losing anymore weight. Period. I figured maybe I would go over my diary and see if I could find a bad habit or something I was doing wrong and I think I found it. I eat alot of fruit and yogurt... and I mean alot. I don't go over my 1200 calories but I am taking in alot of sugars…

Protein Powders...???
Aloha Friends! I was wondering your thoughts on protein powders. I have been strength training a lot more than I usually have in the past and now I am looking for lean muscles. I have never taken protein before and want to try it... but I am very skeptical about it at the same time. Thoughts on if I should try it out, or…

Such fabulous recipes and for those of you who are on Weight Watchers, you can search for recipes by points. I made the adobo chicken last nite, and just made the avocado chicken soup today. Absolute yummers! It's…

fat question
I tried asking this question last week but nobody responded... So I'm gonna try it again! :) I've been doing pretty well staying just under my calories and eating a good variety of balanced foods. For whatever reason, I tend to gravitate towards foods that are lower in fat. Not because I think fat is bad- I just don't love…

3 Day Military Diet.
Has anyone tried it? I recently stumbled across it on Pinterest. It intrigued me, so I put everything in on here. It gives you a significant amount of calories (So with no exercise, no metabolic destruction.) A lot of fat, and low carbs. My only concern is that you only eat three times a day, where as in my experience the…

Really hungry but running out of calories
I'm really hungry, I haven't had dinner yet but only have 301 calories left for today so I don't want to eat not and go over. I don't know what to do though, because I need to eat something. Is it really bad if I go over? I'll be eating with my family in about an hour.

Haven't had one in about 3 weeks and have an occasional diet pepsi now instead (1-2 per week) what are your thoughts? is even 1-2 too much? or does it not matter. i've seen a lot of conflicting answers on a google search.

Chicken Skin
Why is there no entry in MFP for the perfect piece of crispy chicken skin that tears off a roasted bird fresh out of the oven? Today's chicken was perfectly brown, crispy seasoned, not soft fatty goop - in short, the BEST chicken skin I have ever made. I ate a huge piece while carefully cutting out the white meat for…

Wasabi Sushi
I'm a huge fan of the spicy chirashi salad that Wasabi Sushi and Bento (London based sushi place) sell. I have been using their nutrition guide that they had online to log when I eat there. However recently they've pulled their calorie guide off of the internet as they 'have new items on the menu and are re-evaluating' -…

Calorie counting when nutritional details are not available?
I would assume this question has probably already been asked, but I couldn't find it using the search function. I'm really trying to be as accurate as possible tracking my food intake using MFP - even started weighing/measuring my food. However, there are times when nutritional information is not available for food and I…

How do you keep from giving unsolicited advice?
When someone you know starts a diet of protein shakes and one meal a day for 1,000 calories total? I know that is going to fail, but saying something would be discouraging. This comes after a failed nutrisystem diet. None of them last long. Why are people so hell bend on a diet of eating primarily one thing, be it crappy…
