This is really sound advice, OP. A "nutritionist" at a gym might have some ideas, but they are also notorious for buying into the latest broscience fads...and many get paid mostly out of commissions on the sales of supplements and shake mixes that they will try to sell you. An RD (Registered Dietician, a US designation) is…

Oh, I know of a great sugar cleanse! Take coarse ground sugar, make into a paste with grapeseed oil. Add a few drops of lavender oil for scent...SCRUB YOSELF. Mmmm. Nicely cleansed and soft. Just be sure to scour the tub afterwards, things get slippery!

Why are you shooting for such an extreme macro distribution? Do you have a health concern which recommends this kind of restriction?

Which was exactly the next thing she said....

What the heck is a "food and nutrition charity?" The only ones I can think of are hunger relief organizations who have more important things to concentrate on than your constant fad dieting.

Yeah, based on your posts on other threads, I have to point out that you clearly have very disordered thinking about food, and no newbs should be taking what you say as mentally healthy advice.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR, HANK GREEN?

I keep a 10 pound dumbbell next to my desk and do curls and extensions while I work. (I am low on the ladder of strength, so 10 pounds is a decent workout for me...I still need a 5 for Tri extensions!) A treadmill desk SOUNDS good, but I get motion sick on a treadmill. I can't imagine trying to work on one for 8 hours a…

I love celariac! Also, cutting celery. That's an herb that tastes like celery but looks like parsley. I have kids who say that they hate celery, but it's the texture that puts them off...so i use celeriac and cutting celery instead!) Still trying to think of a veg that is suitably homely and obscure enough to be the next…

My Northern CSA-share-having self is well acquainted with kohlrabi. I could do with more recipes, TBH. Cauliflower and sweet potatoes have their share of fad adherents, but they don't have their own bumper sticker. You don't get to be declared the Official Hipster Vegetable until it's available on a bumper sticker. Or,…

Kale is probably a good veg for fast food...that stuff keeps forever and is very forgiving of fluctuating fridge temps. Not like fine field greens or looseleaf lettuce that freezes and wilts if you look at it funny. Still not ordering it at McDs. I am firmly on record as a hashbrown-only girl when visiting the Golden…

Wow. I hope you have a good therapist because that is some hella disordered thinking about food.

Sharp Cheddar and Triscuits Poached Chicken breast and hummus Sauteed veggies I've even been known to have salad for breakfast. I don't find sweet breakfasts all that appetizing or filling, so as long as it's savoury, I'm in.

Kale has jumped the shark. Hipsters everywhere are frantically scraping the "Eat more Kale" stickers off of their Priuses or velocipedes or banjo cases. Anyone want to call what's next?

Yup, this. No extra nutrition benefits. (although, certain veg that tend to carry pesticide residues there can be tangental benefits...I'd peel a conventional carrot, for example, but just wash and eat an organic one, so I get tiny amounts of extra fiber, etc from my organic carrot.) Organic food in a grocery store is not…

I'm a 45 year old woman, I get up to pee 3-4 times a night and don't get me started on the hot flashes.

I do this, but I also weigh in right before bed...I drop between 2-5 pounds overnight every night! Really puts those fluctuations into perspective, LOL.

try adn see how you feel. You are majoring inthe minors at his point. Just go with what works for you.

See, that's the thing. I don't believe that restricting ANY of the macros is a good idea...go too heavy in one and neglect another and digestive issues are the result. Mix some fiber (which is a carb, regardless of the handwaving that fools would have you believe) with fats when you eat your protein? it won't stop you…

I have an old childhood friend who went through a very similar situation with her mom (her brothers were outside observers, since it was the daughter's job to be caregiver in their family....they scolded her for "policing" mom while she was eating poorly...but who got left holding the bag when mom became seriously ill?…

See, now you have to wade through so much twaddle in the actual book, if you are looking for porn. this is the beauty of fanfic. It lets you just skim to the good parts. Much like a "paleo" diet.....lots of plot skimming in favor of the stuff you want to hear.

I skipped many pages here, and I regret nothing. But, I will say that while I normally agree that an adult shouldn't have to report to anyone else on their consumption, there is an extra wrinkle, here. OP has a husband who is eating himself into a medical condition that requires care. Lots and lots of care that usually…

My spirit animal. (May I interest you in some Jazz Flute?)

Your sense-talking is not relevant to the fanfic at hand. If we are going to do anthro-archaeologic fanfic, can't we at least have more explicit sex in there? It's not a good fanfic without supporting porn.

I love breakfast, I find it the easiest meal to keep under 300 cal...I'm known to eat multiple breakfast-style meals a day just to make reducing easier! I always...ALWAYS have some sort of egg based deliciousness. I use the carton egg whites, and, unless I'm storing up calories for later, I beat in one or two whole eggs…

Am I the only one who feels a little aroused after reading that? (I've got a brain fetish that only a zombie could rival)

I've got an about-to-turn 17 year old, a 13 year old, and an almost 10 year old who out-sasses the other two put together. this is why there is always space for wine (and/or Scotch) in my calorie budget.

Yeah, I think your exercise burn estimation is easily double and then some of what you are actually burning...if you are eating back those cals, that may be part of your issue. I'd also suggest mixing up your workouts a bit as well, after all that cycling on a stationary bike, your body has probably become very efficient…

I've got 3 teen and tween daughters. I speak "eyeroll" fluently.

Did it clear your "brain fog," clear up acne, make your hair long and lush, and/or lead you to a Crossfit strongwoman victory? In other news, this thread already contained "Government agenda" and "Big Pharma." I believe we all win a prize if we see "toxins" and/or "chemicals" in future posts.
