Help, I need Vegan Ideas
Okay, I'm not anywhere near a vegan, but I would be a semi vegetarian if it weren't for my DH who is a total carnivore. I"m good with the mixing of nuts and seeds with legumes or grains in order to get complete proteins. I could totally survive as a lacto-ovo-vegetarian with no problems, but that is because they don't have…

Water, water, water!
I cannot stress enough how good water is toward weight loss! Drink a glass of water before and after a meal (or during) and it's a lot more filling! Also, I'd recommend eating/chewing slowly. The quicker you eat, the more you consume without realizing that you've consumed too much for one meal. Just some helpful hints! ^.^

Coffee vs Green Tea?
Does anyone know the difference between coffee and green tea? Specifically amount of caffeine. I tried mint green tea today instead of my usual coffee and had a headache later that afternoon. I'm thinking it's because I didn't get as much caffeine as I'm used to. :ohwell:

High Protein, Low Carb food
I am doing a low carb diet, but with it, I am finding I rarely get above a 1000 calories. I really would like to be around 1200. I work out really well each day and finding I just don't have the energy like I do with extra calories. The problem is, I can't find anything higher calorie wise that packs in a lot of protein…
