HCGers, what does your food break down look like?
I am curious as to how you set your food break down goals. Mine are: 500 cal, 38g carb, 11g fat 63g protein and 14g fiber. I never make my protein or my fiber goals and am always under on my fat. My carbs come to 38 and sometimes go over, but they are all from approved veggies. I can't believe how low fat this diet really…

Strong Family History of Diabetes-Best Ways to Prevent?
Both of my parents are diabetic and a scare this past week with my dad's eyesight helped to wake me up to the realization that I really need to essentially act as if I'm pre-diabetic in order to prevent myself from developing it, too. My fasting blood glucose was 96 this past week, down from around 110 when I was 40 lbs.…

How are you all doing it so fast?
Losing the wight, I mean. I started here with 1300 calories a day on Feb 17th this year. Lost 12/13lbs by March 22nd and then for nearly 2 months was just plateaued (sp?) until I got off my *kitten* and joined the gym on May 17th (funnily enough on dates). Since then I've lost 12 more pounds, so I'm down 25lbs which I am…

how much is a tablespoon
I'm from UK and our tablespoons are quite big! Because of this I think I've been underestimating, for example if I spread some marg on toast, I was figuring it was about 0.3 of a tablespoon, but I'm a bit worried that I'm wrong, is a tablespoon on MFP actually what we would call a dessert spoon? I.e. about 3 teaspoon…

How to chew more slowly?
Ok, this is sort of ridiculous. I have a giant problem with chewing my food. I barely do. I eat so quickly that alot of times I don't realize I am full until I have been full for a while, but my body is not recognizing it cause I am wolfing down my food. I have somewhat helped the problem by only allowing myself to eat…
