Vegan therories at 3 in the morning.
I truly don't understand the vast amounts of people who promote the use of egg whites and whey in everything. Am I the only one here that realizes there are far healthier forms of protein that work just as well, if not better? I"m the one with a weird "fad" for eating raw vegan? When people who are in their 30's and 40's…

Not eating enough?
I've seen over and over that I need to eat at least 1,200 calories a day. My goal is 1,100. But I don't stick to this goal everyday. It's almost impossible with how busy I am. I'm only 5'1". I don't seem to be losing any energy, and I exercise 3 times a week. I'm thinking that the days that I eat over my limit makes up for…

The one food you can't eat in moderation???
I know everything in moderation. BUT, do you have that one food you just can't control. For me it's chocolate. If it's in the house I just eat it til it's gone. I wish I could control it better. What is your one food???

Great Gluten Free Pizza
Well, I tested the Against the Grain Pesto Nut Free pizza and it was good!

"Healthy" foods.
Next week is when I am getting really serious with my weight loss. I needs some advice on foods to avoid and to eat while trying to do so. Everyone always says "fruits and vegetables."

DON'T ASK ME ABOUT DIET PLANS..................
I'll gladly discuss with you about calorie issues, fitness, your workouts, etc., but if you ask me about a specific diet plan (paleo, vegan, Atkins, Medifast, etc.) my response will ALWAYS be the same: diets are temporary fixes for 90% of the people who take it on. The 10% that make it don't need my help, they figured out…

Calories from Exercising?
Just a question - do people use up the calories that you earn from exercising or do they just try and stay within their basic calorie limit? I do find when I exercise that I get more hungry so sometimes I end up eating the calories I earn! Any thoughts are appreciated!!

Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss
I had my hubbie buy some Laughing Cow Swiss today. He bought one of those packages that contains 8 small wedges. I tasted it with a stalk of celery, and it really didn't taste that good to me. At the moment, my next idea/alternative would be on an English muffin instead of butter for breakfast. I might even add some…

Eating for Fuel and Recovery
I cannot stress enough the importance of preparing your body properly for your workouts and refueling your body adequately for recovery. The worst thing you can do is not eat prior to working out and not refuel afterwords. Your body is most ready to receive macronutrient intake at this time (within the first 30 minutes of…
