OMG, me too. I don't know what it is about eggs, but my body doesn't like them. I can eat them in pancakes or French toast but in omelets or scrambled or hardboiled? I have to run for the commode. I know, TMI, but it's how my body reacts. Wish I could change that. Eggs are awesome.

warm jello is good for you. In fact, I usually drink mine steaming hot. Seriously. And as for fetishizing kale...do I even WANT to know? "Kale as Kinky" sounds like it could be a popular new MFP thread.

Mini carrots using hummus as a dip. Or use the tiny colorful peppers as a dip...protein, fiber, flavor, natural vitamins...can't go wrong.

Well, damn, y'all. WHERE ARE ALL THE GIFs? I gotta do this myself? Get with the program!!! ;) (walks away muttering)

Good job, elphie, but just barely.

Yep. Never stop investigating. The more we know, the more we know we don't know. Besides, compared to 20 years from now, medical science is in the Dark Ages. There's always something new to learn

Hmm. This article claims it suppresses appetite. Wine, I've heard, actually increases appetite and is supposedly recommended often for older people who just don't seem to eat enough because they're not hungry

Sorry I can't find the original article, but I DID find this: "Ginger is a rhizome, an underground stem that looks like a root.

Calories in < calories out = weight loss is obviously correct. From that standpoint alone, it doesn't matter WHAT you eat, it could be woodchips or banana skins or any kind of food (and I use that term loosely). In terms of health consequences, however, it DOES matter what you consume. Woodchips are a *tad* overweighted on…

You might want to invest in several books, one being Bret Contreras's "Bodyweight Strength Training Anatomy" and another being Delavier's "Women's Strength Training Anatomy Workouts" by Frederic Delavier. Have a look-see on Amazon.

Not sure, but I'd swear some of my older food choices have disappeared.

I've just discovered Kashi Original brand cereal as a protein source. 13g in one cup of cereal. Add your milk or milk alternative and you could make more than 15 grams. Granted, it's not what I'd call tasty, but neither are a lot of protein drinks. It also has the advantage of high fiber which is a plus when you're eating…

There is no harm in a rank newcomer starting out in bodyweight training and assessing the personal results. It also gives you a chance to assess proper form, which is extremely important to avoid injury. For example, doing 20 deep bodyweight (bw) squats for 3 - 4 sets, watching your form and then finding out just how sore…
