Terrified of Maintenance
I did not have that much to lose but what I did lose has made a huge difference. I can't believe how great I feel and how much I am love working out and being in shape. I am now on maintenance and am terrified of it because I do not want to gain the weight back. I can't believe how many calories I have gone up to and even…

*Not* counting calories?....
So I have been browsing Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet book, which includes the principals I've been generally following in terms of eating small meals consisting of only healthy, natural foods ever 2-3 hours, drinking a lot of water, avoiding processed foods and sugars and bad carbs, etc. Well, she says not to count calories…

Filling dairy free smoothie?
I'm trying to figure out the right combination for a morning smoothie..... juice, frozen fruit, some protein powder.....? I'm curious if 1) that's way too much sugar to be starting the day with, and 2) does anyone have recommendations for how much of each ingredient to use? Trying to avoid dairy right now, so thinking a…

Natural Peanutbutter
I bought some natural peanut butter for the first time yesterday. It tastes pretty much the same, but is the consistency supposed to be so liquidy? It's much runnier than regular peanut butter, and when I first opened it I had to pour off about a tablespoon of liquid off the top. I'm just checking because I bought it from…

Luna bars
I read some previous post about luna bars and i got a few to try. They are ok but are they really that healthy for you or just a lot of fake ingredients? DO you eat them as a snack or for breakfast or what?

Holy hell I went over...
Ever have days where you go over by about twice to three times your usual intake?? It was a bad emotional eating day, but MAN I didn't figure the damage to be quite so bad. Should I try to eat way under for the rest of the week? What is the proper way to go about fixing this? Double workouts? (not that I usually do much…

Perkin's and NO Nutritional Value...ugh!!
So the hubby and I decided to go out to dinner tonight since the kids eat free Tuesday's (with adult meal). We never go out so this was a nice treat (though, it would have been nicer to go somewhere nicer). Anyway, so we get home and of course, the first thing we do is go to the computer and add in our foods. Well, we…

Eat this...not that...
Great episode on Oprah today! It was about childhood obesity, however I believe we can all relate at some point or another to making poor lifestyle choices! Dr. Oz and another doctor were on today, and talked about options to eat. Weather to eat A or eat B. It was a great show!…

i need some advice PLEASE!!
If I take a kickboxing class three times a week for an hour each time would you recommend that I exercise on the days I am not doing the kick boxing? I just can’t eat all the calories. I know that sounds crazy but like today I have only eaten 300 calories so far and after I eat my lunch I will have 1334 calories remaining…

Hungry
Ok so I have had the same breakfast for awhile now and now all of a sudden I am hungrier sooner than I normally am. I have had to pack an extra snack so that I am not starving. I don't understand why this happens. Does anyone have an idea as to why this happens??

Hiatus from alcohol
I was just thinking, if I'm not sure whether I should quit drinking alcohol all together, or just watch my intake and make sure it's in moderation (see my other thread titled "alcohol"), maybe I should just try not drinking anything at all for like a month, and see if this helps me, both fitness-wide and mood-wise etc. Has…

Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza dough....
YUUUMMMMYYY... I made this tonight on the barbecue with cheese, pizza sauce, tomatoes, and basil. It has 120 calories for 2 ounces, and serves 8 so quite a bit. I made mine into a rectangle cause the circle just wasn't working out too good. I'm so glad I found a healthier version of pizza :happy: Oh yea its by the cheese…

Forgive my ignorance...
I feel silly asking this, but I've been wondering about it all day. If you go over on calories one day, can you/should you cut back over the next couple of days to "even it out"? For example, if you go over by 500 calories on Sunday, should you/could you cut back by 100 for the next 5 days? That's basically what I have…

Ever think your body's smarter than you are?
Ever think your body's smarter than you are? Got up this (Monday) morning feeling good. Taught a motorcycle class this weekend, so lotsa hard work walking/moving traffic cones/talking in the 90^ heat. Great weekend, fun fun. Whipped last night, slept like a rock, woke up this morning feeling like a jillion pesos. So I got…

I need a wake up boost!! HELP!
First off, I wasn't sure where to post this seeing as it's more of a general well-being question, thus I thought "Nutrition" would work best. Mreh. >_> Ok so here's the deal. I'm always tired in the morning. Always. And I'm not talking about just RIGHT when you get up, this lasts throughout the majority of the morning -…

Alcohol
Has keeping track of your calorie intake and trying to eat more healthy shown anyone else that they drink too much alcohol? I have come to that conclusion and am trying hard to cut back. It is pretty hard though. Even though I have no problem not drinking at home, I have a hard time when it's a social event or when I'm…

Do Grains, Breads, And Cereals Have a Place in the Natural H
Unfortunately, humans have been so far removed from their natural environment and living conditions for such a long time, that most people have a hard time determining what the natural human diet would include. We know that humans can survive on all kinds of different foods, but the valuable thing to consider is to what…

Almond Milk
I currently use fat free milk in everything and have recently had my attention brought to almond milk. I have a few questions on it for other people that use it. Would almond milk be a healthier choice than fat free milk? (btw, the almond milk would be bought from the grocery store, not homemade stuff) Also, can almond…

Eating while doing P90X
Good morning! I am starting the X today!! :drinker: I know there are a lot of P90Xers in this site. How much do you guys eat before a workout?
