green pointy peppers are really tasty! bell not so much
it's little bit like spring onion in way? It has it's own taste as spring onion, before growing to a normal onion.
Jalapeños? Yum! Chili peppers? Yum!
I agree about the bell peppers. I don't like green, red, orange or yellow bell peppers. They don't taste any better to me when they turn ripe versus green, IMO.
I don't know what a spring onion is?
@DebSozo . Spring Onion. Do you guys have them in America?
Yeah, we have them. They are typically called green onions or scallions, but I see spring onion too.
I love our language differences. I had to google what the hell an Aubergine was!
We call them Eggplants here
Cantaloupe-Rockmelon
Arugula - Rocket
And I've noticed on the cooking shows, that Americans pronounce Herbs as Erbs.
We definitely do! Herb with the "H" pronounced is what you call Herbert, for short.
Aubergine is some UK thing, we call those eggplants! I knew what it was from other reading, but most Americans might not.
I like rocket as a name for it, but yeah, it's arugula here (and weirdly stereotyped by some politicians as liberal or pretentious or something -- I don't really get that).
Rockmelon was new to me when you used it the other day, kind of like it.
Do you call zucchini "courgette"?

Nope, zucchini is a zucchini. Peppers are capsicums, peppers are chili's.

Ha! Yeah, not a good idea.1 -
Not for everyone. When I used to try to eliminate all those "treat" foods I got hangry and quit. I see that in my friends and coworkers all the time. It was actually extremely helpful for me to learn how to fit stuff like that into my daily calorie goal, only then was I able to stay on plan long term and finally start seeing results. Some people may have to temp cut that stuff out, but for many it just makes life harder.
Yes, we are all different.
We all share our advice and the OP will find something that works for her.
I just get passionate about that. I know too many women who have years of women's magazine articles and Dr. Oz episodes under their belts, and they keep a list in their head of all the yummy foods and drinks they can't have, and all the expensive "healthy" stuff they're supposed to eat. And after a month of struggling they end up inhaling a quart of ice cream and feel like a disgusting failure. And often they decide to settle for being overweight and unhealthy rather than face that challenge again. It was like a religious experience for me when I realized I didn't have to give that stuff up LOL.
But yeah, different strokes
I can't tell you how many times, I would buy a magazine touting some "miracle diet" that I saw while in the check out line. The desperation and faint hope I had, nearly makes me cry just thinking about it. I always hoped that each one would be THE one diet that would work.

I went to Ireland last year and once bought a bag of rocket salad from Tesco. I thought it was just a cool mix. I gagged once I took a bite. Arugula with other food is amazing. By itself-blegh!!

4. don't eat high sodium foods
5. don't eat a lot of sugar or sweets
Sorry, bolded is a non starter for me. Though I do save it for rare occasions and make sure to do it on a cardio day, with bacon and chili and jalapenos on top!4 -
The UK has:
spring onions, though the shops sometimes sell them as "salad onions", but I've only ever heard people call them spring onions,
aubergines,
cantaloupes,
rocket,
courgettes,
herbs with an h to rhyme with verb,
coriander (not cilantro),
biscuits (not cookies, in general, though there's a subset of biscuits, normally home-baked or from an on-site bakery, that we call cookies),
chocolate bars and sweets or sweeties, rather than candy.0 -

Why? So many "healthy" foods are processed, including the jasmine rice you mentioned.Your diet should consist of unprocessed foods.
Why?Bread, baked goods, pasta, cereal, regular soda, liquor, and desserts must be cut out entirely until get a grasp on how to incorporate cheat meals and days into your plan without reverting back to old habits.
I incorporate these every day and and have lost a significant amount of weight. If you stick around for a while, you'll notice the majority of mfp-ers eat a balanced diet with their favorite foods in moderation. A healthy attitude towards food in general is a healthy approach to weight loss. Cutting out foods can actually cause some to develop orthorexia.
I hate cheat meals and cheat days. I can easily undo my weekly deficit with those. I'd rather incorporate my favorites daily and NOT go over my calorie goal. I only have 4-5 IDGAF days a year where I won't count calories.
Weight loss is ALL about calories, more specifically, having the right energy (CICO) balance, and nothing about the type of food you eat. Moderating all foods that one enjoys is a perfectly valid way to lose weight.
The recommendation of cutting out foods and food groups to someone who is already stressed about weight loss in general is a sure way to stress someone out further. Weight loss is stressful enough already without having to throw rules and guidelines at it.
because everyone knows that processed foods contain magical properties that make you gain weight, even if you are in calorie deficit.

It's amazing for giving dishes a little kick! Before food intolerances went into full blast, I loved mixing it with feta cheese and stuffing it in pita bread to make a sandwhich. Now I like adding it to steamed and stir fry vegetables

For those who love pizza: usual tomato sauce and mozzarella, with arugula, prosciutto and tiny slices of parmesan.
I also love arugula with grilled salmon and tomato sauce.0 -

green pointy peppers are really tasty! bell not so much
it's little bit like spring onion in way? It has it's own taste as spring onion, before growing to a normal onion.
Jalapeños? Yum! Chili peppers? Yum!
I agree about the bell peppers. I don't like green, red, orange or yellow bell peppers. They don't taste any better to me when they turn ripe versus green, IMO.
I don't know what a spring onion is?
@DebSozo . Spring Onion. Do you guys have them in America?
Yeah, we have them. They are typically called green onions or scallions, but I see spring onion too.
I love our language differences. I had to google what the hell an Aubergine was!
We call them Eggplants here
Cantaloupe-Rockmelon
Arugula - Rocket
And I've noticed on the cooking shows, that Americans pronounce Herbs as Erbs.
I went to Ireland last year and once bought a bag of rocket salad from Tesco. I thought it was just a cool mix. I gagged once I took a bite. Arugula with other food is amazing. By itself-blegh!!
I love arugula, it's a little peppery!
It has a great spice. Love it. It's awesome on burgers and sandwiches.
I had a gourmet burger last night that included fig jam, orange-thyme marscapone cheese, crispy prosciutto and arugula on a brioche bun. Phenomenal.
OMG. I hope to never meet that burger. It sounds divine, and a bit like my downfall. lol (I jest)

Pizza with rocket/arugula and prosciutto and parm is so so so good!0 -
Imma say it, don't eat the chocolate tower truffle cake, at 1,600 calories - not worth it.

@Christine_72 :laugh: I had to Google Aubergine too! Never heard Eggplant called that before either and I live in the US. The things I learn on the forums

I wouldn't know, pulled that off a list of high calorie desserts and a google image search. I would go for a steak over a piece of chocolate cake any day!

I concur! Steak sounds good but the cake looks good! So both it is! 1600 for a 7 layer piece of cake doesn't sound that bad plus sharing is caring. 2
