Potassium...curse you!
How on god's green earth does one consume 3,400 mg's of potassium every day? Let's see--I had a banana at breakfast, a tangerine as a snack, 5 cups of spinach over the course of the day, along with carrots and cucumbers and other saladish veggies...and I'm nowhere near 3,400! What must I do? It seems like potassium is…

Soy Milk
Any general thoughts on the general benefit/minuses of "soy" milk? I recently stopped using dairy and switched, but I've heard a lot of anecdotal reamrks suggesting soy really isn't that healthy. Thoughts? :glasses:

Calories
So...I have been having a hard time hitting 1200 calories some days. I click on my little button that says where I will be in 5 weeks and it spits out a magic number and then gives me this little blurb about how not eating enough calories can put my body in starvation mode.:grumble: Mind you this isn't everyday, but it can…

Delicious low cal B.L.T!
I was really craving one for lunch so I made my own, and it hit the spot exactly! I went to the states, and picked up some Morning Star Farms on the weekend...yumm.... 2 pieces of Morning Star Farms Bacon Stripes (I am a vegetarian, but you could make it with real bacon, but it would make it a lot less 'low cal') 1 Western…

Acai Berry and Colon Cleanses?
Whenever I log in an advert for Acai Berry and Colon cleanse is always there. Blogs from women who have lost weight tell of how wonderful this is but I am not so sure. Does anyone have experience with any of it? When you read what they are supposed to do, it sounds great, but does it really work?

you CAN have candy after lifting weights
the whole "what should I eat after working out" is a good question.... within 30 minutes after weight training (or sooner) your body needs fuel we all know about whey protein shakes...good stuff.... I did not know we also need some quick releasing carbs (the bad carbs) and there are many articles about getting the right…

I find that I still have 300 calories left sometimes at night. Is it ok to use them up on a glass of wine? Any other ideas of how I can "use" them up! :drinker: :bigsmile:

sweets
how much sweets do you have in one day? i always like to have a cup of hot cocoa at the end of the day if i have the calories for it (80), but sometimes i'll have that and a piece of chocolate or that and fruit snacks. i was just wondering, how many sweets do you allow yourself a day (or junk food in general)?

Ive heard this before, but is it true?
When you stop with the junk food for quite a while, and you eat it again, you don't like it. I have been eating "clean" I guess you could say, or just healthy hahaha for just over a month and I really wanted some chips and a chocolate bar yesterday... The chips were horrible, and the chocolate bar was way way too sweet!

Post anaerobic workout meals .
If you are on a low carb diet, don't expect to gain any significant lean tissue after working out (muscle) unless you add carbs after workouts. Protein is needed to build muscles, that much most of us know. But ingesting protein isn't the whole story when it comes to muscle building. The process goes like this, you ingest…

plateau already?
I'm almost a month into this and I've been stuck at a 6 lb loss for a week now, and I was losing about 2 lbs a week. I'm keeping my calories around 1500/day (a little more on somedays, like super bowl sunday was around 1800-1900), and I try to vary my workouts everyday too. I'll do the 30 day shred #1 one day, a treadmill…

Oatmeal measurement
I just started a new nutrition plan and it recommends oatmeal for breakfast. I picked up a carton of oatmeal at the store - the quick cooking oatmeal (just like the quaker oats container but the store brand instead - not the prepackaged, flavored kind). I don't know how to measure it - before or after cooking. I measured…

Super Bowl Weight Gain!
I can assure you that SuperBowl needs to be added to the list of celebrations where weight gain comes into play! I had homemade, probably 6 potato skins with sour cream and although yummy...when I entered them into my calorie counter....it was over 1,000 calories! I had no idea I was eating that much...plus I had a couple…

God's Pharmacy...Very Interesting
A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners... God left…

Vitamin B ...

Here's what I'm eating
Here is what I'm eating today. Typically I have eggs for breakfast but I was in a rush today. This is what I have planned to eat, but I can see that I will be under in calories so I am going to add some foods. Also my exercise isn't figured in to this which will give me about 300 more calories. So I can see that I will…

UNBELIEVABLE side effects!!!
OK, so I have been on MFP on and off for just over a year. Came back about three weeks ago and have lost 9lbs during that time. That is why I came back, because I know this works. :smile: In the mean time, I had (over the last decade) a very painful condition called endometriosis. I mean, the kind of pain that doesn't go…

Does a mom carrying octuplets need to eat more?
Q: Does a mom carrying octuplets need to eat more? A. "We recommend 300 extra calories per baby," Airoldi said, adding though that with eight babies, the extra calorie intake would not be feasible (multiply 300 by 8 ... 2,400 extra calories). "They can't because their bellies are so big. So usually it amounts to trying to…
